I'm so thankful that I am able to be a stay-at-home mom. I know there are many people who think that stay-at-home moms are lazy, however I know differently. 
I love that I am able to teach my children. I have my beliefs and I know what I want my children to learn. I want my children to learn manners, kindness, respect, love, patience, self-discipline, and cleanliness.  I know what I am teaching them and that is important.  They may not learn that from someone else either at a day care or with a sitter.  I am able to clean my house, do the laundry, dishes, play with my children, give them the attention they deserve, make all the meals, and help prepare them for life outside of the home.  I am so thankful that I don't have to leave my children with someone else who may or may not care about them or their well-being.
