When my wife decided to stay at home when Abigail was born, most people didn’t really know what to do with it. After all, it’s generally assumed that a woman will re-enter the workforce as soon as possible after having a child. To choose to stay at home… well, it seems odd at best, and a strike against women’s equality at worst.
But what if it’s this attitude that is actually robbing men and women of a deeper understanding of at-home work? Of it’s value and significance? That is among the many things Courtney Reissig and I discuss today on Reading Writers.
Also in this episode, we discuss:
- The value of “at-home” work;
- Where at-home parents find the time to read; and
- Books we’re encouraging our kids to read.
Be sure to grab a copy of Courtney’s new book, Glory in the Ordinary: Why Your Work in the Home Matters to God, which is on sale now.
