I was interested to read about the New Domestic so thanks for opening the debate with this sweetly illustrated post. I'm glad women have a choice now as to whether they want to embrace this role or not. Coming from a one-income family, I feel lucky to be at home, but I know it's not for everyone.

My three children were home educated through twelfth grade here in the U.S. Two have completed undergrad degrees, and the third has one semester left.<br /><br />My husband and I now have an empty nest, but I still choose not to work for pay but, rather, keep the nest feathered, and be available to volunteer and help others.<br /><br />I enjoy my life and am grateful that my husband is fine with me not bringing income into the <br />marriage. <br /><br />I was just teasing you with my question, though. I hope that I am aging gracefully. Everyone who knows me would agree that I am domestic, but "new"? Ahem. No.<br /><br />I have enjoyed this blog entry, though, and hope it encourages other sahms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397842596692895726.post-21045873559226395812013-07-28T10:49:19.715+03:002013-07-28T10:49:19.715+03:00Hi there!
