I call myself a homemaker. I have had the ability to stay home and raise my child also to help my husband with his 3. I am now keeping my grandchild full time while her parents work. I wouldn't have it any other way. I have a wonderful, stable, hard working son who has never been in trouble, done drugs or drank. My 3 step kids are doing well too even though I was not in their lives till their teens. A parent at home 24/7 is a great asset to a family and children. I have spent many years in school volunteering and being involved in my sons life. It has not been easy but it paid off. People think I have it made like all I do is lay around and eat Bonbons. It takes a lot of work to keep up with a 2 year old when your 46 plus keep the house, cook and take care of the yard work which I have always done. I feel that if my husband is working all day then I should make it possible for him to come home a relax. Besides I get paid in other ways. I see what having no parent at home does for kids. No thanks.
