Luck - A Four-Letter Word?
I'm proud to report that the June issue of the Mothers Movement Online, a great site on modern motherhood, features an essay by my spouse, Shannon. The piece, entitled "Who are you calling 'lucky'?" , is summarized by the MMO editor as a look at
the economic trade offs of being a stay-at-home mom. Readers may find this essay controversial, but I invite a careful reading. What do families give up when one income barely covers the basics, but mothers and fathers have a preference for parental care? And what are we really talking about when we talk about "luck"?She leaves out the fact that it's exceptionally well written and very much worth your time. Comments are, of course, eagerly sought - either here or through the cross-post at After School Snack.

I found Shannon's article quite compelling. (And as you said, very well written.) Though we aren't planning to start a family quite yet, my husband and I have talked a lot about how we could manage on one income, since it is also a priority for us to raise our own children. I admire, and am heartened by, your diligence and commitment to creating your family by your own priorities, rather than those prevalent in our consumerism-driven culture.
Shannon, props for writing an essay that is both thought-provoking and informative, providing, as it does, a realistic how-to for future stay-at-home parents. Though I wouldn't dismiss luck entirely, I think that you've shown that conviction, sacrifice, and careful budgeting are equally necessary to the equation.
Thanks, Lemony! Yes, I agree--luck IS part of it, just not as much a part as some people make it clear to me that they think....or maybe it is a different kind of luck than what they are thinking of. I appreciate your feedback and your generous comments!
