Did we raise a sexist daughter?

7. She is young

Plus there is nothing wrong with wanting to be a stay at home mom. When my babies were little, I wanted nothing more. I didn't always have that opportunity.

In a newspaper article, sometime ago, around graduation time, a woman was interviewed with the question, 'what one thing would you want to impart to students?'.
Her answer was to do things in the order that they should be done in regards to major life events.

In other words, get your education, graduate, have a job, choose a suitable marriage partner based on shared values, then have children. At first I though it pretty obvious and trite. And then I thought some more. If one starts out backward you may never have the option of being allowed to stay home with your kids.

It takes planning, forethought, knowing what you want, from the beginning. Having a solid family is a commendable goal. So is being a good mom. So is being a domestic engineer. So is having an education for the sake of having knowledge and being well read, and well informed. Plus, it is something one can fall back on in case of unforeseen tragic events, like the loss of a spouse.
