A working woman makes a useless mother. State your view.

To say that a working woman makes a useless mother is a chauvinistic statement. We are currently living in a gender-equal society. It is therefore unfair and unfathomable to see that same people still believe women should stay at home instead of working or that women cannot do both.

If working women makes useless mothers, are we saying that prominent female figures such as President of Germany, Horst Koehler, President Arroyo from the Philippines and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher from United Kingdom are all terrible monsters? If they are, how can they lead the nation? It goes to show that women are capable of managing thief cancer and family at the same time.

Besides that, working women are more rational, tolerant and patient. In fact, they are more knowledgeable too. Working in a challenging environment enables women to become more versatile. That helps tremendously for women to handle the challenges faced at home.

Moreover, working mothers are more understanding. They are more eager to listen to their children because they have less time to spend with the young ones. They appreciate more of the quality time that they get to spend with the family. In other words, working mothers can become good if not better mothers.

In addition to this, working mothers are more confident. They are financially independent so they can support themselves and the family instead of depending entirely on the husbands. Therefore, working mothers are also a good role model for thief children because of their confidence and independence.

Not only that, working women posses the ability to maintain a happy household if only the husband is willing to share the responsibility. In fact, if working mothers are really not doing their job right, then the fathers ought to share the blame. Marriage is a partnership between husband and wife. Therefore, if the husband is the only bread winner and the wife is left at home taking care of the household, it is not much of the partnership at all.

Finally, working women learn to multitask which is an important skill to be applied while managing their home. It is not an easy skill but most working women seem to be able to pull it through. We must salute these magnificent women for trying so hard in doing so much.

All in all, working women can be great mothers. Their hard work and effort should be acknowledged and appreciated for they are the mothers of our children and with their caring and motherly hands, they shape the future of our life.

A happy family

QUESTION: What, in your opinion, makes a happy family?

A family is a social unit that consists of parents, children and sometimes extended family members such as grandparents, cousins and so on. A society is not complete if it is without families. Although a lot of people will come up with different opinions in terms of what makes a happy family.

Everybody craves for a positively charged family. An individual who grows up in a happy family tends to become a well-rounded person. Therefore they key factor to a happy family is love and understanding. Family members may have different personalities that sometimes clash or cause conflicts. However, if everyone practices a little sense of understanding, love can conquer any problems.

Besides that, a loving family must be a forgiving family. To err is human so we must know how to forgive and forget. It is very important in a family to practice forgiveness because we can cut down a lot of unnecessary disputes. That way, we can also say that a forgiving family allows room for an individual to learn from the mistakes.

Communication is also as important as other values brought up before this. A family that never communicates with each other will face disastrous consequences. This is because the lack of communication means the less understanding between family members. If we try to keep communication line, open for our family, we are embracing them and allowing them to enter our circle. That way, they will be just as willing as to open up to us so that we get to share our ups and downs as well as resolving problems together.

Having humour within the family is like adding salt and pepper to your favorite dish. If we learn to not take everything too seriously, we can see life a little differently than everyone else. Laughter is the best medicine so who else can we share our joy and happiness if not for our family? In fact, humour can lift our spirit and encourage more positive thinking. Therefore by being humorous, we can influence our family to be happier.

All in all, family is precious to all of us. If we adapt a more positive outlook on life, we should always include our family within. As such, it is vital that we try our best to create a happy family the best that we can.
