So do I and I can't say strongly enough that housewives were just as much the backbone of the family, as well as the husband was when I was growing up. I know that financial issues make it hard in this day and age for the mother to stay home but ideally that was the way it was meant to be. I firmly believe with all my heart that we lost a great deal when mothers started leaving children to go to work. We missed more than we will ever know. It is so important that a mother if she can these days, stay home and be a mother and homemaker. I think it's crucial. A mother should be home with her children, in my humble opinion. No one will ever realize how important that is. I wish we could get back to that and not letting the TV babysit our children, but be able to give our children ourselves and our time. I'm sure it breaks some mother's hearts that they can't do that and I do feel for them but I just feel mothers should be home and taking care of business there because there is a lot to take care of, and I don't think they get enough credit for what they do in the home. Thank you for bringing up this subject. It's not old-fashioned for a mother to stay home and raise her children. I think that's the way God meant it to be but society has changed so much and I feel sorry for those who can't do that.
