I have been on both sides of this lifestyle: I was a full time working, full time loving and invested mom for two years while my husband was a stay-at-home-dad finishing up his degree. It was a joy and a sacrifice, a unique season in our lives. I'm blessed to have the opportunity now to be the one staying at home, to have my kid's needs and schedules come before a job, and to have the opportunity to spend every day pouring into their young lives. However, I know many moms who don't have this opportunity. I believe God sees us where we are in the seasons of our lives. I certainly prefer being a stay at home mama, and it would break my heart to have to put my children into childcare and get a job. But I know good, godly moms who have to do that every day to survive, and I respect them for it.

This is definitely a hot-topic issue and I commend you for tackling it! :)
