Sacrifice

We recently took a pretty large financial hit that knocked us to our knee's. This has happened several times in the past few years with our financial status. Peter and I decided years ago that I would stay home with the children. More recently we started to home school the children. Due to the financial stress many families would have given in and mom would have gone back to work. Thanks to my wonderful husband that is not the case in our family. We put a very high value on our children being cared for and taught at home rather than some where else. Because of our values, and the belief that my being home is the best possible option for our family Peter has gone out and landed a second job. He is now working two jobs so that his children can be raised up in the way he believes is best for them. I am helping slightly with babysitting on the side, but that does not bring in much. I could not be any more proud of the man I married. Most men would fold under the pressure, but Peter took the bull by the horns. Some people do not/will not agree with this decision that has been made. All I can say to others who do not agree with our lifestyles, and values is that we are firm believers in to each his own. There is no one size fits all lifestyle or family unit. What is right for our family is not right for every family and vica versa. We live our lives in a way that we believe to be the best for us, and anyone that cares for us will take that information for what it is worth and support our decisions.
