I didn't even finish it because it was so disappointing. The stories were about moms who reluctantly chose staying at home with their children, after finances or pregnancy required them to stay home. What about the woman who choose staying at home because they want to raise their children with Biblical standards and be the one to educate them also? I would not reccomend this to me stay-at-home mom friends or anyone else for that matter.

101 cerita "Stay at home mom". Pelbagai cerita, pelbagai emosi, pelbagai sebab menjadi suri rumah sepenuh masa :-) Ada yang memberi inspirasi, ada yang memberi tekanan emosi. Hihi..
Hampir semua mengatakan tidak mudah menjadi surirumah. Ya, berada di rumah, menguruskan rumah tangga, anak-anak, menjadi perancang kewangan keluarga, menjadi orang gaji, mengurus keperluan dapur dan 1001 tugas lagi namun ibu-ibu tetap mampu melakukannya. Yang penting ada semangat dan minat ;)
Kebanyakannya juga tetap menjana pendapatan dari rumah dengan menjadi penulis atau membina perniagaan atas talian.
Semua ibu adalah hebat! ^_^

August 6, 2012Last time I thought I lucked out with Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Magic of Mothers & Daughters: 101 Inspirational and Entertaining Stories about That Special Bond, I never expected such a perfect for me topic of stay-at-home-moms. Since we moved and as we visit churches and library mommy and me groups the first question I ask is whether there are any SAHMs and I'm always told no. Through my blog I know there are plenty of others out there like me, just not nearby apparently. Thus book is full of 101 kindred spirit thoughts that leap off the page with a hug and understanding. A great pat on the back read.
