Before we began to build our family, my husband and I were both working full time jobs at an upwards of 60 hours a week. This was practical at the time, but I knew I could not continue to do so with an infant. This led me to leave my job of 3 years just before giving birth. After a few months, I debated long and hard on returning to work. After very careful consideration, I decided the best thing to do for everyone would be for me to stay home. I knew that being a stay at home mom would be hard. More importantly, I also knew that my daughter needed me to be there for her. It helped me learn that the plan you may have for yourself may not be the best plan for everyone else; being able to compromise for loved ones is always important.

Because it is typical for displaced homemakers in particular to have gaps that span several years in their resume, many lack up-to-date technological skills that are needed in the current fast-paced, data based job market. By offering a relevant job-skills training to those who may already have a postsecondary degree of some sort, with classes such as typing, technical literacy, and multicultural awareness, over four months, these mothers are given the opportunity to gain knowledge that opens up new jobs that pay higher salaries with substantial benefits. For those without a college degree, the program also offers the chance for displaced homemakers to acquire an associate’s degree during a two-year program that includes the basis of job-skills training as well. Upon the completion of these programs, the DHRA assists in finding internships and jobs for these displaced homemakers to apply their skill

Abortion is one of the most controversial topics of today. It is defined as the voluntary act of ceasing a pregnancy.

The days of mom staying at home full-time are long gone for most families. More women are their family’s breadwinners than ever before. Heather Boushey in The New Breadwinners, states “Women are more likely to work outside the home and their earning are more important to their families well-being than ever before in our nation’s history” (31). In families today there’s no one staying at home in the day, so there no one there when kids come home from school with everyday life.

When I had my oldest daughter my husband and I looked at our budget and found that if I kept working I would be spending the majority of my pay on childcare. We had no family around to help out with childcare duties so the choice was made that I would stay home. I was a stay at home mom for about ten years – and I loved every minute of it! For me, that was my “having it all”. When my girls were really young we went to both mommy and me activities, as well as making our own fun. When they started school I was active in the PTA and had a multiple volunteer jobs that I did during the day while our girls were in school. My schedule was my own, and I was able to do many things that were just about my interests, as well as introduce the girls to volunteerism.

Parenthood implies far beyond simply offering life to an existence unlived, it implies longing for things yet undreamed, and managing trust in a sad world. It means being there for my kids through various challenges, and not leaving my family when circumstances become difficult. It implies a Christ-like conciliatory love for their mom who gave them life, while accommodating my family, and guarding and shielding them from the abhorrent impacts of this world. It implies setting the case by perusing God's statement with my family, and going to chapel with them, not simply releasing them all alone. It implies untiring petition in debilitating conditions; and driving them through a wild of wrongdoing when whatever they can see is a pagan era before

Being a single mother of two has given me many responsibilities. From early morning's too late nights. Being a mother has changed my life for the better. I enjoy being able to be a full-time mom and full-time student. The only downfall is that being a single parent makes it harder to have time to volunteer and participate in my community, as I would like to do. I hope to one day soon be involved in my community and be able to volunteer. And as my children get older; to be able to bring them along as well because I feel it is important for everyone including kids to lend a helping hand to those in need. Exposing them to do volunteer work will help shape them for the better. Doing community work is definitely in my list of goals this year since

Stay-at-home mothers are not like the rest of the working society as we are able to tell in the article “Confessions of a Stay-at-Home Mom”. In today’s society a lot of the time mothers are forced out of their jobs, or docked pay. “Women who take time out of the workforce, pay a big career penalty. Only 74 percent of professional women will rejoin the workforce in any capacity, and only 40 percent will return to full-time jobs. Those who do rejoin will often see their earnings decrease dramatically”(qtd.in Ashley Nelson 411). In “Confessions of a Stay-at-Home Mom” Ashley Nelson argues that stay at home mothers are forced out of work and are docked pay because, their bosses believe mothers are not capable of working the hours they used to. I agree with Nelson that mothers should not be forced out of work or docked pay just because they have a child, all a mother is asking for is flexibility.
