There's a better pic on my yahoo profile at blonde22tiger@yahoo.com, lol, this one turned out kinda funny looking. I am 24 years old, happily married with a beautiful 2 year old son (born in 2001) and three wonderful stepsons. We live in California, USA. I am a licensed bondsman but have taken time off work to be able to stay at home with our son. I do not want to miss anything in his life. In my opinion too many parents put their children in child care and miss out on so much. You cannot rewind time to see your childrens firsts, like first smile, first steps, first words, and all other firsts. People say they cannot afford to stay at home with thier children, but in my opinion, where their is a will, there is a way. Even if it means a home business. God will hold you responsible for the way your children turn out. So if you do choose day care, pick a good one. Too many people out there have thought they had a good day care provider until it was too late and their child was hurt or worst. There are so many people that would love to have children but can't, or would love to have another child and can't, and then there are those that should never have children and do. You never know if you will have the opportunity to raise a child again, do not take it for granted. My son and if God so desires to bless me with another child in a few years my children are my priority. Don't get me wrong, I love my job! Bail gives me great pay and more time to enjoy my family and hobbies but My son will only be this young and impressionable for a short period of time and then he will have to make his own decisions in life and if I did a good job, he make the right choices. My occupation will still be there in a few years but staying at home being a wife and mother definitely has it's benefits and challenges too. . I enjoy the outdoors, going to NASCAR races, camping, trucks, off roading, talking to people with similar interests, And when time permits, reading a good book or magazine and watching movies. Before my son was born, I loved to read and read nearly every day. Now my books and movies include Blues Clues, Dora the Explorer, Elmo, Sesame Street, Winnie the Pooh and various other *educational* toddler shows.
