I am quite dissapointed with the reactions I’ve got when somebody learn that I am resigning from work.
Most of them would tell me that it was a waste, some would smile and say its because we are getting rich and the worse part is telling me that i would somehow get bored on being a mother and would somehow return to work.
So let me reason will all this reactions.
First, such a waste that I won’t be using my intelligence in the corporate world. But for me it would never be wasted because I will be using as the first mother of my baby. Right ? Instead of pouring out my efforts, intelligence and everything to people who sometimes will put you down I will just used my god given talents rearing my family.
Second, that we are getting rich that’s why I resigned. Yes, my husband is receiving a larger pay but not we are not yet rich. But I do hope we are getting there because right now we are 90%debt free.
Third, I would eventually get bored with playing mommy roles. Maybe yes, Maybe not. But for now let me enjoy mommyhood.
What disappoint me though was that they never show what I am doing. Nobody have thrown praises my way that I choice family over career. Weird right ? Rather that praises I was ridiculed.
Imagine ?
Our world really right now is a world of the CAREER WOMAN.
Guess, I am not one of them right ?

Do what you want and need to do for you and your family. You go, girl! I quit and stayed home with my kids, started a business, and homeschooled ‘em. Those who ridicule might just be envious.
