My friend lent me In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms by Dr. Laura Schlessinger. This book points out the benefits to being a stay-at home mom and helps the reader feel confident in that choice.
This was an interesting read. I think it could be extremely offensive to people who don't agree with her point of view or who cannot be a stay-at-home mom, but for me, it basically said things I already agree with. It did help me think of things in different ways. (For example, sometimes I fall into the rut of wishing I did more with my life or had a job or something. But she explains how being a stay-at-home mom can be completely fulfilling and satisfying on its own.) I think it also helped me see how I can make my marriage and family stronger by handling things a little better. I realized that as a stay-at-home mom, it is my job to create a home with peace, happiness, love, and joy--and I need to make the choice to do that.
