Thankful.

I am thankful, so thankful, that the the father of our four precious children values them having a stay at home mother. I know that it would be easier financially for me to go to work everyday...for me, yes; but also, and perhaps especially, for Jake. However, neither or us wants that for our children and so I'm truly grateful that I am able to continue loving and raising them from home...not to say that a working mom does not love or raise her children. It's just that it has long been my dream to be a mother, and to spend each day loving and teaching them the best that I can, and I am so grateful that I don't have to leave that dream behind with the difficult circumstances. I know that this divorce is not easy for our children. But I also know it would be so much more difficult for them if, in the midst of this transition, I had to leave them at a daycare and go to work 40 hours a week. Jake is such a great daddy. He loves our children with all of his heart just like me, and they know that and feel that. He is their hero. Thankful.

  2. That is wonderful Tobi. I'm so glad that in the midst of all this that you and Jake are able to do that for your darling kids. They are lucky to have two parents looking out for them in every way. xoxoxo

  3. I could always see it from across the way that he is a terrific dad that would do anything for those kiddos. That's great that you still are able to be home with them. Both of you are so important. :)
