I've been a stay-at-home mom with my son since I was 30 weeks pregnant with him. I have worked in the home with dayhomes and babysitting at other people's houses. I just think sometimes being a stay-at-home can be a lonely job and something no one is never given enough credit for. I applaud the moms that can do it and keep their sanity.
