I want to be a stay at home mom

[Sonnysmami]

Okay here it goes. My husband hasn't worked since november and so he stays home with our son. He is looking for a new job. Right now I am working full time and I really think I should be staying home with our son. It has never bothered me before to work. I enjoy my job and Im good at it. I love my co-workers and I get along great with my boss. But for some reason lately I just keep longing to stay home with my son. I want him to have me there whenever he needs me. My husband is doing a good job with him..but I feel he would be doing better if I was home. My husband really doesn't have patience for him and he doesn't teach him anything. I am getting really sad about this because i cant see it as something possible. I know my God can do all things but do you think its fair for me to pray for God to allow me to be a stay at home mom? Any suggestions would be helpful. Also we have a lot of debt. So I need to figure out away we can still have money coming in.
Thanks for all your help and advise in advance.
Please pray for God to make away for me.
Thanks & God Bless

I don't think it's bad at all - I think it's beautiful that you long to spend time with your son as God intended.

Maybe you could put this in the prayer section and we could all pray it for you?

Hey, Sonnysmammi.
I think it is great you want to be a stay at home mom.
Have you considered leaving your job and starting an at home day care?
Have you talked to husband about your desire to stay home? Maybe that would get him to start looking harder for a job.
Could you do the job you have now from home maybe even part time?
I will certainly be praying about this for you! God can do anything!

Ladies thanks for all your prayers. I really do feel very strongly about all of this. I really deep down in my heart want to be there for my son and it makes me so sad all the time I have missed with him. So please keep us in your prayers. I have tried to talk to my Dh about this but I dont think he understands so please pray that he gets understanding of the importance of me staying home with my son.
God Bless

I understand how your heart longs to spend more time with your child. I ended up being a single mom, but I thank the Lord that I was able to stay at home with my children until they went to school.

I know your husband was ill a little while back. Are there any health problems still keeping him from looking for a job? It's time that he try and find something; it doesn't have to be what he did before. I would certainly hope that he intends to find work again. You shouldn't have to be the sole support of your family.

I will keep your heart's desire in my prayers.

Wow...Bountiful that really does give me hope that even though you were single mom..you were still able to be a stay at home mom. Wow thats beautiful. I really hope my hearts desire is granted and I am allowed to spend that time with my son. I am so thankful that I have friends who will pray with me and for me.
Thank you God Bless
