Granted, some may say that this ‘selfless’ deed you do is for your ‘own people’ and (hopefully no one, or situation) nobody forces you to make the choices you’ve made for your life. While it may be true to some extent, but at the same time as a society, as a nation, we have to recognize your efforts, for what you do has a broader impact. The ‘working for money’ spouse has an impact on our ‘present’, whereas you, the ‘working to raise family’ spouse have an impact on our future. You are shaping our future generations.
From birth to high school graduation, typically a kid spends less than 20% of his time in school, i.e. more than 80% time is influenced by those who are raising the child. As a society we appreciate the important role teachers play in grooming young minds; similarly we must also understand the impact of training, nurturing taking place at home – where you (the HomeMaker) handle the great responsibilities of shaping the minds of our future citizens through teaching responsibility, work ethic, developing self-esteem, character building and spiritual grooming.
Nursing the child -Nurturing the nation and the future.
