So, I think I've had enough of the judgemental comments and stares when I tell people I'm a stay-at-home mom. Is it because people just assume I sit on my ass all day and do nothing? do people think my daughter has been raising herself for the last 3 years? Well guess what? she hasn't!!
The decision to stay home was not something I planned on when I got pregnant... the decision to stay home was made when my beautiful and precious daughter was born with a rare neurological disorder called Tethered Spinal Cord Syndrome. When she was only 4 days old we found out that our daughter would need surgery to untangle her spinal cord from a tumor she has in her spine. She had a successful surgery at 12 weeks old and she gets evaluated every 3 months by a team of specialists.
The decision to stay home was made because I knew in my heart that no one else on this planet would take care of Ava the way I could. It wasn't a sacrifice I made, it is an honor and a blessing to be home with my little girl. I have a happy family and my life is complete.
I know I don't need to explain myself... but if it helps shut some people up, then my job is done!

I love this. It's amazing how much crap stay at home moms have to deal with. It's one of the hardest most under-appreciated jobs out there. Keep it up, you're a great mother. People judge only so they can feel better about themselves.
