Many years ago, in the early 80’s, I read a book called “Free to Stay at Home”. Back then it compared a woman’s salary of $15,000.00 annual…after calculating a second car, insurance, day care, bagged or bought lunches, takeout food, and more, her actual salary was more like $2,000.00 per year. It was scary leaving my job but I figured I could be a day care for a couple of children for $50.00 a week and stay home with my own children. I, too, cried when I had to return to work leaving my 3 month old son with my sister. After my daughter was born, God placed that book in my hands and I was able to stay at home full-time ever since! God bless you all and I pray that woman has the courage to stay home!

I understand this young wife and mother. Though I am much older, I too am on a different page than my husband. So I do what I can. I continue to love him and pray for him and trust God to do what only God can do. I have learned to can food from the farmer’s markets or from friends gardens. Trying to grow some in raised beds, but our yard is really shady. He agreed to let to let me try without an arguement! I keep trying. Keep faithful, do what you can and trust God to do the rest. God bless you.

This is a beautiful message from the FOM.
A timeless message. I understand well the heart of the mother who is arguing with her husband to see what is right. I say to her God is giving you the right path, now you give your husband to God and he will take care of everything. The best way is to consecrate everything to Mary. I lived the book ‘How to change your Husband.’ I can tell you it is living the simple life. I shut down my very profitable business to stay home and homeschool my children. We sold our home and put a trailer house on 10 acres in the country. God even brought my husband home to be self employed and this frees you in a lot of ways from the anti-christ system. If you have money in stocks or 401k’s YOU are responsible for what that money is being used for. Get out of the evil system. I can tell you live Our Lady’s messages and She will have God take care of everything! I can tell you now 25 years of raising our 5 children ourselves has done more for our spiritual lives and has given us a close family that is absolutely priceless ❤️

Thanks Friend!
This has been an answer to my prayers. I have been contemplating going back to work when my 3 yr old goes to school. (And he doesn’t even want to go-so pray for me-another story) I have 9 &10 yr old daughters that go to Catholic school. Again, another story..
I have stayed home with them since they were born. Unfortunately, it took my 7 year old son passing from leukemia for me to truly cherish these childhood years and everything really, since I worked when he was small. Now that I have stayed home with my children for 11 years, I am looked at a “lazy” from some, if not all people and am almost like an outcast. Glad I don’t care what they think. I only pray for them bc God is nowhere in their lives and they don’t bring their kids to church even. It’s Like ‘why isn’t she in the workforce?’ What these ppl are missing is the big picture. Before we know they are grown and gone. Plus I prefer to raise my own children although we have made many sacrifices but they are so worth it. God has blessed us in so many ways it’s unbelievable. I feel called to show these ppl the way. I am praying and looking to do the next right thing.
It’s so funny you mentioned cooking at home! Tonight, my husband was working late and I wanted to just order a pizza but thought why spend 30$ on a pizza when I can save that money and make a healthy meal !? I did! They’re are no coincidences as you know.
As for now, my kids are excited about the garden we’re going to be planting over spring break. God please give me the strength. As for continuing my real estate career, my children will come first.
Thanks again friend , please keep these podcasts coming. ❤️❤️❤️❤️Much faith , hope y love. 3%
