Patrice McCormac talks about the costs of parenting, especially when Mom stays home. Our parenting is impacted by our view on the financial costs as well as the cost to our identity when we become parents. It is no surprise that having kids is expensive, but what may be surprising is having more money does not make us happier. Our identity often takes a hit after we have kids. It is important to not take out identity from our parenting but from the fact we are the precious adopted children of a loving God.
