A majority of the students' hands went up.
"Now how many of you women are planning on being a stay at home mom?"
My hand went up- and then I noticed that only a few of the girls in my class raised their hands with a few others pumping their arms up and down with uncertainty, but looking as if they are inventing the next popular dance move.
"Just as I expected. . . Times are changing. Staying home to raise children isn't a priority anymore."
I couldn't focus the rest of class.
My heart hurt with the realization that priorities have changed.

This is great. We'll be neighbors.
I am right there with you! Sister Dymmock came to speak in my ward a couple weeks ago and told us about how she was determined to put her family first even when they had to drink powdered milk. I thought, if Sister and Pres. Dymmock can do it on a seminary/institute teaching budget, it's possible for everyone.
I do wish more people had that attitude though.
