I admire any mother who has the opportunity to choose to stay at home and makes that choice. There is no more important responsibility than nurturing the next generation. You are seeing what a difference your close presence in your children's lives has made. That has to be very rewarding! There are seasons in our lives, and each season has its joys and challenges. Before you know it, your last son will be off to university and you will miss this precious and brief season. <br /><br />I experienced deep fulfillment throughout my adult years from my being employed and knowing that I could survive on my own if I had to. I was not blessed with the gift of children of my own, so I was never torn between the needs of motherhood and the demands of my career. As an elementary teacher, I had a life full of children and the opportunity to observe all kinds of families. <br /><br />I have two sisters who had children, one who worked as a lawyer in a high level and demanding series of jobs and another who worked as an elementary teacher in a difficult and demanding series of schools. My lawyer sister always worked, and my teacher sister left her job when her children went into junior high school. She returned to work after the last child was off to university. My third sister never married and has enjoyed her independent and successful life. My sister-in-law married to my one brother started working while her fourth and last child was in high school in Kuwait. The good news is that all three families' children grew up into amazing young adults. And all we "girls" have enjoyed fulfilling lives, regardless of our individual choices. There were different paths for each of the three families, but the one constant was that each child was surrounded by unconditional love and support from his or her parents and our extended family.<br /><br />If you bring a child into the world, you have a fundamental responsibility to help that child grow into a happy, compassionate, independent, and educated adult. I think that requires unconditional love, a lot of time, listening, and guidance on the part of the parents, a solid moral foundation, and a framework of belonging to an extended loving family. These things provide children with the freedom to make mistakes and learn from them in a safe way, surrounded by love and people who will support them and stand up for them as they find their way. Aunts, uncles, and grandparents have also been hugely important to our next generation.<br /><br />Congratulations to your hard-working young scholar. He will look back on these days and thank you (like your older son) when he realizes how right you were to guide him and his brothers and insist on his doing his best! Hugs to you!<br />Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309826816742200785.post-37417041700247110702017-04-09T05:56:01.692-07:002017-04-09T05:56:01.692-07:00You have great sons!
