The article focuses on mothers who chose to leave their corporate careers behind and instead, focus full-time on raising their children. For some, the choice was easy. For others, it required more planning. In the end, all of the women decided that it was the right move for their families.
Crystal Zull, mother of two, was following in the footsteps of her own mother, a stay-at-home mom. She pursued her interest in law and earned a degree in criminology and criminal justice, but never considered what would happen once she started a family. Finding it was tough balancing career and family obligations, she admits that she knew in the back of her mind that when she had children, she wanted to stay at home to raise them.
Danielle Clark left her job as a veterinary assistant to not only care for her two children, but to babysit the children from two other families. Unfortunately there is no degree to teach parents how to raise their children, and it comes with no paycheck. But like Clark and Zull, many mothers decide that it is the right move.
Many parents realize that the cost of putting their children in daycare can exceed their paychecks, so it makes more sense to stay home. Also, staying home allows them to raise their children as they see fit, and not miss any of the milestone moments in their lives. It is an art form that requires a lot of patience and practice. There is no right and wrong way to do things in many situations. Zull comments that, "We're learning that we are our own people, not our parents," and that she and her husband are constantly learning and figuring things out.
Stay-at-home mom Jennifer Connelly, Katonah, New York, agrees with the women in the article saying, "If you were to ask many of my women friends whether or not they prefer being in the corporate workforce as opposed to staying home full time with their children, I think most would tell you that 'the grass is always greener on the other side' at times. But we would all agree that just having the opportunity to raise our children is the greatest gift that we could have been given."
Connelly notes that parents need to decide what is in the best interest of their own families. Parenting is a job that changes every day and no two days are the same. There are joys and there are struggles, and you are constantly learning and adapting as you go along. While she enjoyed her time in the corporate world, Jennifer Connelly, Katonah, New York, would not trade the opportunity to spend time raising her children for anything.
