Before I had any concept of what life as a mother would be. I claimed that I found my home in academia. I would accept mot herhood if presented with that option. I would go so far to seek it out, but I loved learning. Now, that I have actually done both, attend college and raise children, I know why I felt Academia was home. Up to that point it was the only place where I learned so much that directly influenced who I became (other than church). I always was "churchyard" and it is likely because of the same reason. Well, being a mother teaches so much more than university professors do. The only thing I can compare the outpooring of information to is temple attendance (for latter-day saints) or scripture study.
And that is why I strongly encourage motherhood as both a full-time profession an education.
