SAHM or Working Mom?

SAHM of twin boys!

Posted by: twinboysmommy on Sun Jan 23, 2011
I am a stay at home mom of twin boys. My husband and I came to this conclusion for a number of reasons. We had always agreed that I would stay home with them or any child we had for at least a year, but never discussed much after that until they were born.

I was determined to go to school and get a job after my degree. I'm 27 now, but spent 6 years active duty military and never got my degree in, although I do have college credits. The intent was that I would be able to do a mother's day out program and go to school part time. However, the cost of all that with two was not affordable. We ultimately decided I would stay home after much resistance from me when we joined a church and I started listening to what God and my husband was trying to tell me all along. My calling is to take care of my wonderful boys. I'm not sure if that's what my spiritual calling is (mercy), but I do know that nothing else I wrap my mind around sticks. Being a mom is the best job I could ever have! I love to take care of my boys, even if they don't need me to be right there playing with them (they pretty much entertain themselves while I get housework out of the way). I truly believe that at this point in my life, and while I still want more children that God wants me to be the caretaker of this household. I want to be there for their every moment and to take care of my husband as I feel that is what God is leading me to.

I may be a bit crazy sometimes and need a break others, but I just breath in and realize that this truly is what God wants me to do and I really do love every crazy second of it!
