A woman who chooses to stay home and look after her children and home is performing an invaluable service. I think that this woman should have as much respect as any other. We should learn to appreciate and respect others choices even though they may differ from our own.

Well, it doesn't matter what we think, it matters what the woman thinks.
Is she happy with her life? If yes then good for her. If she isn't happy then she needs to deal with the issue of why she isn't happy, does she feel like she isn't a contributing member of society? Is she concerned that she isn't living life?
My mother (goodness bless her) homeschooled my sister and I. Even though she went to college she took the time and raised us the way she wanted to because the school system in our area was very bad.
After a while she was ready to go back into the work force (she asked us first, but how could we say no to someone who cared so much for us) and eventually my sister and I went to school (note that this was after we moved so it was a much better district). She climbed her way up the ladder at an agency that works with adults with developmental disabilities and right now she is the director of day services and president of the state wide association of day service providers. While yes she has worked at that agency for ten years it just goes to show that it's never to late to do what you want, even if you have spent years outside of the workforce.
I wish this woman luck in finding what she truely wants,

I would think that either she was a great mother and must have had very busy children, or that her husband was very controlling and did not want her to be independent of him. Maybe she didn't go to college and her husband thought that having her work outside the home wasn't worth it because she wouldn't be able to earn as much money as he did. If she NEVER worked outside the home, even before she had children, it was probably a more traditional household and she just cleaned and ironed her husbands socks all day. However, there is nothing wrong with staying home with your children so they don't have to be in day-care. If you are going to have kids, you may as well raise them yourself!

i imagine that judgement call must be made between both human beings in touch and how which will influence their economic lives. From some thoughts I actually have seen on 60 minutes and Primetime, it really is fairly extremely common to nonetheless stay this manner so long because the couple isn't attempting to stay outdoors of their potential, or one in all them makes more desirable than adequate money to be the only economic help. And sure there are nonetheless women, and adult males, who stay living house and performance under no circumstances worked an afternoon of their lives. i'm no longer one in all them, yet i understand some those who in fantastic condition the profile.

Not enough information is given. Can I tell you what I think of someone from such a vague description? Did she raise 8 children who are doctors, humanitarians and selfless teachers? Did she just sit around and watch soap operas all day? Did she take orphans in off the street? These points matter!

She should be awarded a Doctorate's Degree in economics counselling and child care! A huge cermonial thank you would be in order. Most women refuse to do it and forget it is the hand that rocks the cradle that has the power and rules the world!

Te key word is she WORKED inside the home. No difference than working outside except she probably worked harder than a regular employee without the benefits

I'd think she was a very lucky woman, especially if she was also a mother, the single most important and under appreciated job in the world.

I think she must be a very lucky and dedicated person to devote herself like that to her family.

A home maker her whole life? That would imply that she started as a baby and is now dead. I'd say that is pretty remarkable!
