Excellent!!! My friend and I have recently been discussing the disturbing trend of this Duggerlike subservience in some young Catholic women.

I have been a stay at home mom my whole adult life, and yet I never thought my choice was the holier one or that my husband and I were not equal partners in the great vocation of marriage. It was my choice not his demand.

My daughter has chosen to be a wife and a mom to two sweet girls and continue to teach. She’s doing a beautiful job, and I’m so proud of her!

Now if only we could encourage Catholic employers to truly embrace this too and offer at least 12 weeks of paid leave for new moms, natural and adoptive. We can do it. We need to put our money where our mouth is.

Thank you so much for continuing to write in the midst of your very busy life! Your thoughts and words are a gift😊
