"Lastly, those women who have decided that staying at home and raising their own children because it should be their choice to do so are constantly insulted and derided by the others. "What do you do?" "Oh, you're just a mom? How sad for you... and how demeaning." "What do you do all day, sit and eat bon bons and watch soap operas?" Parents who raise their own children have the toughest job they'll ever love. It's challenging, it's definitely not boring, and it's constantly changing. Yet we insult the people who choose this way of doing things."

thata part made me remmber few years back, while I was talking with a girl I went to University with; she was telling me how she hated housewifes, because they pratically did nothing all day, in her opinion; I took offense for that (and barely spoke with her in the next few years, whenver we had a class together), as my mother was an housewife. But, guess what? To be an housefwife she had renounced A PROMOTION, that's how much she wanted to stay at home. To do what? Rise her two children, bring her to school and any other acrivity; cledan the house, grocery and clothes shopping, getting the meal ready, tidy up- And on top of that, she also looked after her elderly parents, who's always been more inside the hospital than outside, and thier place. Doing for them the same things she did for her own home.
And yet, because she did, and does it herslef? She isn't considered by many. And yet, when I ask them who watch after their places, and their elders, they answer thyat they have a lady coming twice a week, that their father is now reitred because he came of age, and that a woman watches over tehri parents/grandparents...
