Note that these organizations helping girls are always helping them with math, science, leadership skills, and so on but never promote being a good wife and mother. Hmmm. Are those vital roles out of fashion? If girls don't aspire to be good wives and mothers, what will happen to the country?

God help us if being a "good wife and mother", or being a "good spouse and parent" are things one has to learn - like calculus, chemistry or accounting. If those are no longer innate in us, we're doomed as a species.

Actually they are *learned things" to a great degree.
And since most Democrat sons & daughters don't have even
two good role models at home, many of them have *no clue*
about what it means, and what are the responsabilities
of being a good spouse, parent, and married member of
a community. And yes...*that's why, Divorce is so
rampant, dissilusoment with marriage so great, and so
many, *more children grow to adults, without ever
learning to *be* adults, or how to have a caring and
nurturing relationship with a life partner, ort with
their own children...too busy being "friends" or
rivals, to do what needs to be done, until they
burn out, and don't care anymore at all...*further*
broken homes..*more* Dimocrat "Me-ism" defectives.

Considering how many kids have one parent at home, one they rarely see, come home to an empty house, get shuttled between one home and the remarried other parent's, live with step parents, or a series of mom's boyfriends, and the like - I think some lessons in motherhood (and fatherhood) would be in order.

Add to that the fact that many families never or rarely sit down to eat dinner together! Being a good wife and mother (or husband and father) are learned; and if not learned at home, the ill lesson will be visited upon the next generation.

Additionally, feminism holds being a wife and mother in contempt, and push girls into non-traditional roles as much as possible, as though the world needs more female physicists and fewer female mothers. Or as though being a good wife and mother is not "fulfilling", whereas being a female CEO is.

Loving your children is automatic, or should be. But there is more to good parenting than that. Good parenting involves a lot of learned skills, as well as learned morals. Traditionally we have learned from our parents, other relatives, friends, etc. The good examples aren't in plentiful supply like they used to be.
