Being a mother and a wife is a full time job in itself. Attempting to go to school to get a 2 year degree while trying to be a mother and a wife is simply a distraction from the more important functions of being a mother and a wife.

Whatever happened to pride in being a mother and a wife? Pride in cooking? Pride in household economics? Pride in educating children?

Getting a degree and competing in the workplace is simply at odds with being a mother and wife.

Being a father and a husband has its own challenges also.

The way I see it, the husband and father buys the house, and the wife and mother makes it a home.

Father, husband, wife, mother - these are all good roles and jobs that have been proven with time. The cultural revolution has diminished their value and attempted to tell us the family structure doesn’t work. That’s false.

If you want to do something, do it well whether it be a mother or an engineer. Doing both is a disservice to the end consumers. The jack of all trades is a master of none.

You know fairly well that is not his point. His point is that every house divides the responsibilities between the family members who are most capable. Often the mother and wife cook. Often the husband and father repair and do yard work. This is not to assume that women cannot do yard work or house repairs. It is not to say a man cannot cook or clean. That is the absurdity of this article, it pretends that there is nothing else that needs to be done in the house, and the woman of the house is unnecessarily burden more than men with this ONE task out of many in any given house.

“Women can do those too!”

True but they usually don’t. Men cook too but usually don’t.
