No, you don't know any stay at home mother, or wife. I know ones who have more than eight children. You have no clue. Home is more than a trip to the zoo or science fair.

Ummm... if we had 8 kids it would make a lot of sense to stay at home. Daycare alone would eat up any additional income having her work might bring. With 8 kids, we'd save money having her stay home. But, we don't have 8 kids. LOL

Bro, what do you even do for a living? You are troubled with many cares? How much debt hangs over your head like the sword of Damocles? One of the brothers has 9 children and with one on the way. He is a man of faith, before anything. Faith, and he knows who steers the ship. I raised a family as a full time evangelist, faith took care of my family, faith took care of everything. Save money? God saves souls, money will come as He fills the need. The Proverb 31 woman is the church and her work is at home. What war did you fight in that you have PTSD?

I'm classified as a Trusted Agent, a civilian with the necessary skill set who works with local and federal government agencies. Duties are primarily database administration, information systems, and basic office clerical tasks. To get a handle on the kind of work I do, consider the character named, "Penelope Garcia", on a popular television show called, "Criminal Minds". Only, I'm a dude. And her job is far, far more exciting than mine, but that's television. lol

Nine kids, yikes. lol

What war did you fight in that you have PTSD?

I can't discuss the entirety of my military service. What I can tell you is that my unit was deployed to Kosovo to relieve a unit that was put on rotation into the Middle East. I ETSed before I got sand in my shorts. So I lucked out and wasn't deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. As far as my MOS, I served as a 19K (Tanker, M1 Abrams) when I first enlisted. I got bored after 2 and a half years, so I put in a 4187 to transfer MOS to 91B10 Cav Medic in HHT 2/107th Cav. I was trying to get back on track spiritually, and being a medic was also more in line with my Christian convictions. Being a Medic, I found myself assigned as an attachment to various units engaged in various objectives. I've supported the Air Assault boys out of Ft. Campbell and the 19 Deltas (Cav. Scouts, advanced recon) among others.

As it relates to PTSD. Counselors aren't entirely sure if my PTSD is strictly military related or not. I'm told that some of it has to do with my childhood. I was severely beaten for a period of time by my father who was a vet. I was shot at on two occasions when I was in High School. I had to run and cut through a field to get to an alley where I hid to avoid being shot. I watched a good friend get shot in the chest my senior year and tried to help him. I joined the military after high school and experienced several events that I don't really care to discuss in detail. Gives me a bad day to think on it. After getting out of the military I served as an EMT-A and eventually got my P. That had it's rather gruesome day to day encounters. A couple stick with me. I burned out and got into computers because if a computer cashes, you don't hear families unravel with grief and despair. And from there I've worked with supporting computer systems through Key Bank, National City Mortgage, Lexis-Nexis, supported CIS (Congressional Information Systems), SD (Science Direct), CLS (Case Law Summaries). And so now I'm where I am currently. Which... I can't discuss. Not that it is classified, but it is considered SSI.

I've even been told that I have a touche of survivor's guilt. So, my PTSD has a wide range of possible sources.

So, what do you do for a living?

What's your excuse for being a jerk to me all the time? lol

Ummm, I was raised by a stay at home mother who was also a single parent.

Christina was a stay at home mother until Addison was 7.

I could go on, but I think you get my point.

Thank you, it is also interesting when someone gets caught in a crack they end up telling everyone this war stories. Past history how they were raised in a ghetto, how they were once homeless, how they had a stay at home mom, how their new spouse/girlfriend/bring home the bacon woman was a part time stay at home mom. Why? All to justify their little speech on how house wives lead a boring life? It makes foot go down a little better after they had it in their mouth for a while. So, the next question would be, why do you have such disdain for stay at home mothers? What did you witness from your mother to give you such an opinion?

I don't have any disdain for stay at home mothers. What I don't agree with is the notion that a woman has to be a stay at home mother to be a good Christian woman. There are good Christian women who are stay at home moms and good Christian women who are working mothers.
