What profession do you admire most and why?
Anyone in the saving profession is to be admired – Police, Firefighters, Nurses, Doctors, etc. – and I am always willing to sing their praises.
However, there’s one profession out there that I admire that doesn’t get the praise it should. I do it. I live it everyday. I am in that profession. The stay-at-home and take care of the family profession. It’s 24 hrs a day 7 days a week and you are constantly on call. No matter what time of night or day it’s your job to handle whatever happens – good or bad.
Being home has helped me admire and appreciate what my mom did for me for so many years. I never knew how tough it was raising me and my brother until I stayed home. I admire any person, mom or dad, who decides to take up the reins and stay home full time.
Best thing about being home for me. I am getting to watch my kids grow and to witness their growth each and everyday. That’s the positive that helps me push through the toughest of moments.
