High Quality Preschool is the Answer???


"Usually someone, usually mom, leaves the workplace to stay home with the kids which then leaves her earning a lower wage for the rest of her life. That's not the choice we want Americans to make. So let's make this happen. By the end of this decade, let's enroll six million children in high quality preschool" {President Obama}

Therefore women, making money is more important than raising godly offspring. Allowing strangers to raise your children is good as long as moms have a way of earning a higher wage. Having mothers in the home, disciplining and training their children, is not at all important anymore. Raising the next generation can be left to strangers since they probably do a better job raising them than moms can.

Do you understand this logic AT ALL? How have we, as a nation, fallen SO very far from God's plan? Young women are no longer even allowed to say that they want to be wives and mothers when they grow up. Feminist hate women. Their goal was to make women into men. If you want to be home full-time, be a help meet to your husband, and raise your own children, you're considered a failure today in America. Feminism rules the day. Our own President completely supports and advances their distorted and destructive agenda. It has also been incredibly destructive to marriages.

Nancy wrote as a comment on this post, "Sadly, in most marriages I've seen nowadays, the husbands are slightly afraid of their wives. Even the most successful {career-wise}, powerful, and masculine men I've met say things like "My wife will kill me if I'm late again for dinner" or "I'm in the doghouse because I forgot our anniversary" or "I have to send her roses because she's mad at me" or "I have to check with the boss." And when I come across couples who have been married for 30+ years, I always ask them what advice they can give, and the man usually answers "Yes dear." I cringe when I hear that. It seems like feminist women have put themselves on a pedestal, requiring their husbands to bow to them. There is also a double standard, because if the situation were reversed and a woman said the same things of her husband I quoted above, people would think her husband is a controlling, abusive chauvinist. But society condones and even supports women to behave this way."

 We have fallen SO short of God's plan for marriage and family that even many Christians have had the wool pulled over their eyes and are deceived.

Dear Christian sisters, stop listening to the lies of society. The enemy of our soul is busy at work. Time is short. Everything is going to come to an end someday. Go home if at all possible, raise godly offspring to further God's Kingdom, be a godly, submissive help meet to your precious husband and reap the beautiful fruit of doing things God's ways.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-7

I am so glad that I found your website. It is so refreshing to see someone else who believes the mom should be home and the husband should be the head of the household. It seems like I am the only one who believes this way in my area and it gets frustrating sometimes.

The other thing get here is that the government will have more control over our children. That is very scary. We have to wake up!!

Leftists don't want women staying home with their children and enjoying motherhood. They want them, instead, to pursue the plan feminism laid out for them and make a career the center of their lives. Because a woman whose career is the center of her life isn't making the difference she could be making by raising her children right.

The thought of women at home with their children, teaching them to value independence, keeping them out of government indoctrination centers (mistakenly called public schools), and training them to be informed soldiers for Christ is very scary for the leftists. Those kind of children grow up to be trouble-makers to the totalitarian state with their love of freedom and resistance to propaganda and their insistence on spreading the gospel.

So, in spite of their talk of "choice," they don't really want women to have choices. They want them following the liberal plan. They want them distracted with plans of making lots of money and having an important career, because no matter what career they have, it's less effective for the Kingdom of God than training their own children.

Thanks for posting this, Lori. :)
Yes, it scares me when I hear this from younger women too. My niece has three small children, almost 8, 6 and three and she's a lawyer working all day and the children are in care of a not skilled baby sitter after school and she doesn't need it, her work and personal fulfillment as a career woman is first in the list! I am so sad, but hey that's how they are now.
Unfortunately people in high power tell women this and so they think, wow, that's what I need to do, otherwise I'm a loser!
Hugs,

I look forward to your posts every day.
What a sad state of affairs when the family is being eroded in this way. Feminists sure have a lot to answer for!
I have stayed home to raise my boys but I don't even have many Christian friends who stay home.
I live in the UK and our government is pushing children into daycare and pushing for two income families.
I couldn't have imagined giving my boys to anybody else to raise and would urge young women to be homemakers, helpmeets and mothers as this is God's plan for families.

This is just another illustration of how society has lied to women. Society/government speaks of independence and ability to earn money by going to work without your children. All this does is make these mother's another man's wife. Instead of helping THEIR husbands and THEIR homes, they become the wife of their companies helping "The Man" with their businesses and their visions.

BTW, I think men have bought this line for themselves hook, line and sinker as well. It has been a long time since the industrial revolution, so long we have forgotten that men didn't leave their families in droves for hours a day either in the beginning. Men used to be around to raise their children along with their wives. Their sons would go to work right beside their fathers learning the skills their fathers passed down to them. But I know your blog is not directed toward men so it isn't your goal to tell men what they should do. I just wanted to point out how backwards our society is on a larger scale.

The whole idea is cruel to children. Why should a child have to leave a warm bed to get to daycare at mostly very early hours? I am so thankful that my mom was at home, that I got to stay home, and now my daughters are at home with their little ones. Families used to live on single incomes; then they needed double incomes and now they spend more than double incomes. Satan knows if He gets children away from the parents; then He has a much easier time and this is really happening.

This speech by the president really struck a nerve with me. Why is it so hard for society to realize that mothers need to stay home? I used to work alongside an ophthalmologist, assisting with surgeries. The pay was great, but the hours were terrible and my family suffered for it. My relationship with God suffered too. All day, I had to listen to other coworkers gossip and talking about getting drunk over the weekend. You think you can ignore it so it won't negatively affect you, but it does. I missed many precious moments of my child's first months of life and I regret it. After a year of working and my husband asking me to stay home, I finally did and have been really happy since. What is discouraging is the looks of pity I get when people find out I no longer have my highly-respected job. It is really frustrating!

Why do some moms give up raising their children to strangers? It boggles the mind.
Lori,
I know I've commented a couple times (but not many, most of the times I don't have much to say I guess lol) but I know I've never mentioned that I'm actually not a Christian. However I found your blog through a blog hop type thing on a "green" website (I don't remember which one, I was looking for recipes I think) and at first I started reading your blog, going through the archives maybe...almost a year ago? At first I was shocked at reading some of the things you write, honestly I disagreed with you a lot, I scoffed at some of the things you said (and I apologize for that, but more on that later)...I felt that your ideas were out dated and generally what I used to call *ignorant*. And to be honest, the more I read your blog and thought about what you were saying...the more I realized you make A LOT of sense! One thing I always scoffed at you writing about was submission, and feminism (shocker, right?) even though I'll admit I'm naturally a pretty submissive spirit, I just never cared to control anyone but myself, but the more I thought about there only needing to be one leader of say a family (due to the clashing of two), and watching quite a few marriages around me falling apart (friends, and my own parents) I listen to their problems (and I always get both sides, the life of a mediator ;) and I always think if you both just treated each other better, listened to each other you wouldn't have any of these issues...but the problem is, SOMEONE has to "cave" first and choose to be kind first, and I know from personal experience (let alone what you have said...) that if you're working with a decent person, you generally get what you give! However, I can't seem to get through to these people, that they're stuborness can (and just might) cause them their 20 plus years marriages (I'm talking about two couples) I'm sorry for such a long venting comment, but I know that you understand what I'm watching, and the fact that everyone else in my life are supportive of these couples throwing away such a long relationship over such petty things, as I've said I know both sides of the stories and I can assure they are petty issues, no abuse, malicious treatment ect, the main problem is wanting to spend money that they don't have on things they don't need. *Sigh* Once again I want to apologize for this being rambling but the whole point of this post was to tell you that I thought what you were writing (most of the time) was absurd until I looked with new eyes and saw it all applied to real life. So Lori, I would like to thank you for giving me things to think about, opening my eyes to the way relationships work in a logical way, and also for changing my views on Christians. I hope you don't take that the wrong way but I'm sure you understand with all the corruptness of the world you might understand my cynical nature, but as I said the more I read your blog the more I uncover your intentions which I feel are totally sincere and that you just want the best for your fellow human and I have amassed the utmost amount of respect for you also, because I know you get a lot of hateful comments, which I feel are undeserved. But to this blog post today (which prompted me to write this whole letter today lol) is that this is probably the worst idea I've heard for children in a LONG time. Up until I was 5 I was raised by a SAHM, then my dad had a terrible stroke and was very disabled, couldn't work anymore, so my mom went to work. It was a tough transition but it was made easier by the fact that I had a parent at home at all times...I don't think it entirely matters who stays home with the kids but I think if it's possible one parent should stay at home...what happened to kids having parents? Now I guess all they should have are teachers and child care workers...what a shame...
Anyway Lori, thank you for writing as you do, no matter what others say. I think you are doing a great thing for your God, He should be proud of you :)
Have a nice day! I hope you're feeling well.
-Ashley

Are there any? :'(
AMEN! I know a lot of people said you had to listen to the president's speech and take it in context and although that explained his comments, it didn't make it any better. His foundation is flawed in thinking that it's most important for women to be in the workplace rather than at home. It's a sad, sad world we live in if we think that's the most important thing.
I'm so glad I came across your post. I absolutely agree with you. I have felt those same pressures of the world. I don't really see the President as able to offer another solution though. He is not a Christian, is not guided by Biblical values, and fully enthroned in the ways of the world, leftist, socialistic ways at that. So to him he is offering his best solution. At it's very core it is a spiritual battle, dark against light. You are so right, we need to be busy about the Lord's work, the hour is late, and time is short!
I'm always amazed how people like President Obama can't grasp why so many women are leaving the workforce to stay home. Denial begets denial.

What I find so frustrating is that the economy is also making it increasingly difficult for moms to stay home full-time. We have managed for me to be home with our kids, home-schooling, for the past 7+ years, and I have only had temporary, part-time jobs from time to time. However, we struggle with this choice every spring as we begin planning for the next school year. Our entire family has made sacrifices to be able to do this, from moving to having one car to canceling art or piano lessons.... and each year, it seems we are financially and economically squeezed even more. My oldest, the twins, graduate this year, but we will wrestle with the decision for my 2 daughters, again, in the spring.
Are you for real? Feminism simply allows that women be given a choice in what they want. I am a proud feminist, and i want nothing more to stay home and raise my kids to be good people. However, that is not a possibility. My husband does not make enough to pay rent, feed the family, clothe the family, fill the gas tank, etc. Even with my salary, we literally live paycheck to paycheck; yet we do not take vacations, buy fancy groceries or designer clothes, have luxury cars. We live simply. How am I a failure as a wife, mother, and woman because I have to work to keep my family from being homeless? I'd love an answer.

I believe that its much more sinister then just wanting women to be able to make higher wages. Get out children as young as they can, and they can better indoctrinate them. Obama doesn't care about wages for women, most wouldn't make much if any more regardless. Its a push to get children in the hands of the state, to break up the family unit, and to have good little statists. Unfortunately I know far to many mothers that will jump at this opportunity, even if they choose to stay home still. It saddens me so deeply how we have been so deceived.
