Wonderful insights and perspectives on parenting, especially as a stay at home mom. We need to celebrate and share these stories more. This is, in my opinion, more aligned with the Savior's gospel than any philosophy of men regarding women in the workplace vs staying at home to raise children. Then you for your insights and testimony!
Oh, and just wait until your kids are teenagers. Talk about opportunities to learn to be more Christlike met with resistance! It's quite intellectually and spiritually stimulating. Not to mention if you have 6 kids ranging from teenager to toddler. Try juggling that while homeschooling them all like my wife does. Nothing is more fulfilling or difficult than something like that.

I married late and am an older parent. I pursued 10 years of higher education before finally meeting my husband, 2 masters degrees and work on a PhD. But motherhood has by far, been the most fulfilling, stretching, worthwhile but challenging thing I've ever done. Mom's wear multiple hats at all times, and I have loved sharing whatever "intellectual" knowledge I've gained with my kids, and learning from them. And now that my kids are young adults, I've entered so far at least, the most challenging era of parenting. I wouldn't have missed being a full-time mom for anything in this world. Kids grow so fast, and the days, phases, stages of growth, never come back. Don't miss it-- in my experience, there is nothing even as remotely fulfilling
