Women who decided to stay at home and be traditional wives and mothers have been told they were wasting their potential since the ‘Women’s Liberation’ movement I remember from the 60s and 70s.
You know i grew up in those times. I worked. However when it came to children I brought home 4 and loved caring and managing home and family and volunteer work. Loved it.
The only thing I can attribute it to is the long hours as a child that I played babies and house. And the neighbor women who all were young mothers. I can still smell the Johnson baby powder and oil they used. I had a full homemaking and babies kit and kabbodle. Made sure my own girls had the same.
Even my puppet shows + dollhouses (puppet shows are any pretends using small objects and dollys) had some homemaking qualities.
You teach and train your children to play.
