My mom was a work at home mom. Not by the current definitions of these phrases. I grew up in the in-between time. What I mean is in-between the time when wives and mothers could stay at home to raise their children and the time when they were forced to find work outside of the home in order for the family to survive.

My mom stayed at home and her invaluable priceless (and sometimes thankless) job was raising three kids and taking care of the house. At that time there weren't many options for moms to earn money from home. They could do other people's laundry or watch other people's children.

I believe my Mom did a great job. She was there when me and my sisters left for school, she was there when we came home. We always had clean clothes, though not always the latest fashions. She always made sure we had hot nutritional meals to eat and a clean safe environment. She couldn't contribute financially but she could work wonders with a small budget.

Besides the "domestic duties" she took care of she was also a teacher/trainer, She taught me values and morals. I contribute who I am today to her. Any positive traits, qualities, and attributes I possess are a result of her teachings. My work at home mom taught me how to work at home. She taught me how to cook, wash and iron clothes, wash dishes, clean my room, go shopping, and such. She must have done a good job because later in life younger people would comment positively about how amazing it was that I could do these things and take care of myself.

I love my work at home mom am grateful my mom was able to stay at home and raise me. We didn't always have a lot but in those days the family was able to live on one income. Today it is virtually impossible. And if you are a single parent it's even harder.
