This op-ed appeared in “The Dallas Morning News” 24 years ago yesterday. I was married and raising a teenager at the time. It was the final weekend of “Women’s History Month,” and it was my tribute to stay-at-home mothers, spotlighting my own mother.
If you’re a stay-at-home mom, and if nobody has recognized your achievements this month, I’m truly sorry. Regardless of what society might believe and propagate, child-rearing is the most important and influential thing a woman can do. Don’t be intimidated by those who choose careers outside the home. Your job as a full-time mother is the hardest job there is, and your role is the most powerful. Thank you for the sacrifices you make to raise your children. I pray God guides and sustains you as you make your mark on the next generation.
