As a woman would you prefer to be at home when your kids are growing up or be at work?
In the 1950s, 60s and even 70s a man's wage was enough to support a wife and kids, own a home and go on holidays every year. A woman had the choice of working or running the home.
But society has fed this lie to women that true happiness is not found in family but that it's found at work. So as more women entered the workforce, more labour kept wages low.
Now a woman must go to work as well as the man in order to get a mortgage.
I was talking about this with my mum one day. And I asked her if she got more joy from raising us or from working.
The poor woman broke down in tears saying that she wishes she could of been there for us... I was so moved she made me cry so I just hugged her tightly... A mother's love for her child is truly extraordinary.
My dad worked day shift and my mum worked afternoon. So after school it was dad raising us. By the time our mum got home at midnight we would be asleep. That's no way for a loving mother to live away from her children
She got injured from repetitive work in packing where all the women worked in the factory. The men had technical jobs like running machines, maintenance etc.
So my mum went over to the technical side of the factory and learn to do a job that no other woman had done before her. She has no education, no engineering experience, speaks poor English, is poor at math and is amonst men doing what was known as a man's job. But against all odds she learnt the job, a very technical job with high responsibility
Sure she is proud of smashing the glass ceiling u could say but she only did it cos she had to do it for us.
Her joy was always her family and still is
