Coming Home to Raise Your Children: A Survival Guide for Moms

By Christine M. Field

As a trial lawyer, Field knew she would miss the adrenaline rush of the closing argument when she quit law for full-time home nurturing of her two daughters. She didn't anticipate how challenging, exciting, and rewarding her new career would be. While noting that the transition from office to home may not fit every situation, Field describes its benefits--and problems.

Customer Reviews

Makes you feel good about choosing to stay at home.

Overall, I really liked this book. It addresses the mixed feelings you may experience by transitioning from working full or part time to staying at home with your children and points out the good feelings you will experience by making the choice to do so. Although there are a few chapters that point out obvious and sometimes extreme ways to save money while at home, most of the chapters revolve around coping with your mixed feelings, obtaining support that stay at home moms need and acknowledging God's guidance as you stay at home during the most important season of your childrens' childhood. Easy and quick to read... I recommend it for anyone planning to stay at home or just merely thinking about it.
