Me and my roommates were taking the other night about motherhood. This was right after we had ward prayer and some guy asked me what my major is...the dreaded question i hate. I said "home and family living" and he goes "that's a major?" as if it wasn't worth anything. Of course his major was Microbiology which will help him do SO much more good than my major will do right? Wrong. I get so annoyed when people act like my major means nothing. Does anyone realize how important being a mother is? I want to cry when people tell me I won't be able to do anything with my major. HELLO i'm going to be raising children is there anything more important than that? no there is not. People act like being just a mother is degrading to women...like women sit at home doing nothing all day when they are a mother.
But there is nothing more important than being a mother...and if you ever listened to our church leaders you would realize how true this is. This made me feel good about my major today. :)

Oh my goodness Katie I totally agree with you! I recently read a book called "I am a Mother" by Jane Clayson Johnson It's a really quick read but it's such a great book! The author used to be a news anchor on the Early Show here in NYC but she gave it up when she got married so she could have kids and be a stay at home mom. And I definitely agree there is nothing more important than motherhood! Thanks for this post :)
Did you tell that guy i would like you to stay home with children for twenty four hours and tell me if its easy! I love you your going to be amazing at being a mother
