115+ Reasons to LOVE Breastfeeding - Day2Day Joys — Thu, 07 Aug 2014 06:14:23 +0000

[…] We’ve all heard the studies, we know that facts and for the most part understand that breastfeeding is best, and I personally agree 100% but for many that may have not been their choice or even an option for them. What about the mom who adopted? Or a mom who tried and just couldn’t figure it out and regrets it? I personally didn’t go through that but can sympathize by wanting to be able to do something but not being able to like the time I desperately wanted to stay at home with my kids but I had to work.

I went back to work 3 years ago after 17 years at home also to support my husband in a big career change. My youngest was just starting 1st grade and I was not ready to leave her but believed in what he wanted to do. There is so little written on the topic and it was SO challenging and lonely to make the adjustment. I actually started my own blog to encourage women in this transition, don’t write there as often as I would like but hope women find it encouraging. Thanks for sharing your journey.

I have both worked and been a stay at home mom (which I am now)…and I can vouch for both sides of the working fence, that neither is especially easy. Shame on those who come from a judgmental point on either side. We moms have enough on our plates than to take doled out criticism from one another. I always say, “Do what works for your family for THIS season of your life”. Last season is past…we have to work on today, and tomorrow will come soon enough. Take one day at a time and enjoy the moments we have, thanking God for each moment (be it at work or at home) realizing we are doing what needs to be done for our families in the here and now. God bless on your endeavors to support your family in the best way you possibly can for today, and don’t feel an ounce of guilt. You are doing what’s best for YOUR family, and that’s what counts.

A friend forwarded this to me, knowing that this is a season of life that I’m in right now and have been really struggling with for the past 2 years. For a while, I felt like all I was reading about was how I’m supposed to be at home with my kids and that has been my heart’s desire, but not what God has called our family to. I started to become embittered toward my husband for not leaving our church where he works part-time, so he could get a full-time position elsewhere. Then I was challenged by my friend to embrace where God has me in this season, no matter how long it may be, and reminded me that I’m ultimately held accountable to God for my attitude with it all. And I’ve started to embrace where I’m at and have seen God’s faithfulness more and more, understanding little pieces of why He has me in this place in this season. Thank you for sharing some encouragement–it’s not often Christian women share from this perspective, without judgment. So thank you.
