Navy Wife

I've been a wife for 56 years, mom to 3, ages 54, 52, 46. Grandma to 4, ages 29, 29, 27, 26.

I spent the first 23 years following Navy husband around the world a few times and making a home wherever we were. Also was a professional volunteer... Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Sunday School, Room Mother, etc.
Now DH and I are both retired? We travel a lot in a motorhome and meet new people and visit our family. Stay busy at home when we are here. Life is good, and we are thankful for our blessings.

On the radio the other night they were talking about salaries.... being a full time mother, cleaning lady, bookkeeper, lawn mower(some moms do this too) cook, and so much more we as a parent do the salary is down from 130,000. to 103,000. dollars.

I am a lunch lady or a food manager in an elementary school.

Husband jokes with me sometimes saying that I'm fired. And easy to replace.I laugh saying go ahead you cant afford it!!

You do have a profession - Mom is the most important job anyone can have! Don't sell yourself short. ;)

Don't say "it's just me". You have the most important job in the world.

The rest of us with titles will someday give them up but you will be "mom, wife, dtr, & friend" forever.

I'm an RN but retired early due to husband's health.

If you flip the word "Mom" upside down you get "Wow" and I can't say that about my paying job!! Mom's have the most important job - nurturing, developing a child's skills, loving them unlike a babysitter can, etc. etc. etc.
