You are not saying more than you should.
I stay home with our children and home school them. Two have graduated now and both of those children have good jobs. The other three are grade school age. I worked before we had children and have had to work part- time occasionally over the years when my husband has been without work for a time. Over all though, my husband and I made the decision, years ago that my work would be at home. There is always plenty to do and more than enough to keep me busy. Money is tight, but creative living helps us survive and we as a family are much better for it. The Lord has blessed us through it all even through the rough patches. My husband's co- workers ( many are women) cannot understand. "Do you keep your wife chained up at home?" they ask. They don't understand that this is a choice we made together years ago when we were first married. I suppose ,really, it was something we talked about before marrying. The Proverbs 31 woman is someone we can aspire to be but it is not an easy task...
