Homemaking, Motherhood, and being a Wife
My Philosopy of my Role as a Homemaker
For me, homemaking is a creative, spiritual experience, and I have come to realize that there is no greater responsibility than that of showing and teaching love and training a child to be an honest, honorable, and righteous citizen. And there is no stronger or more effective way of doing this than for me as a parent to be what I would like the children, who have been entrusted in my care, to be. For this reason I believe that motherhood is truly the greatest responsiblity a woman can have.
Because attitudes are taught, not caught, [a mother's] attitudes towards homemaking as well as all that life encompasses, creates either a world of love or a world of distress.
Homemaking encompasses not only the daily duty of maintaining in the home an enviromnent conducive to the physical, mental, and spiritual development of the children, but also the real responsibility of being a sweet, supportive companion to my choice eternal partner. Our home is the residence of the heart as well as a place to feed and rest the body. I believe that the sprit of the home created and maintained by the parents determineds the quality of its product, which is our children.
Well, there you go. What more can you say that isn't snivilling or self degrading? Nothing is more important that rearing, cultivating, and loving productive and wonderful human beings.
