You're Not a Tree
I have been a stay-at-home mom now for about 14 years. My oldest daughter just turned 15 years old, and I was a hairstylist when she was born. Though at the time she was born I was a new stylist who just graduated from cosmetology school. When you are fresh out of school you really don't have a huge clientele list other than family and close friends, so to build that kind of career you really had to work long days and just about every night. So my husband and I decided well it just didn't make sense to pay for childcare then be gone even at night when he was home. So, we mutually decided to make the sacrifice for me to come home. We don't regret that decision EVER! Well, we added another daughter to our family, and I have been home schooling them going on 4 years now. I no longer cut hair other than a couple close family members and my household and that is OK! Those dreams of when I was 18 of being some hot celebrity stylist doesn't excite this 36-year-old mom anymore.
