Being housewife or working mom

Somehow "Woman" must be honored and appreciated because they can played the role as well as being a wife,mother,closed friend or office mate. Since I was a kid, I always see my mom being so busy running her catering services for several big supermarket & dept.store that she doesn't have so much time for us..her children..As I remember, my childhood is full of activities of attended several course, english course,mandarin course,electone course,dancing course, and of course math course..I remember every morning she used to wake up at 4 am just to make sure her staffs have prepared all of the menu to be served that day... And before she went to sleep she always busy combining the menu so that she can make more varieties in the whole month. For all that routine tasks, she always give notes to our nanny to make sure the nanny can take care every little things we needed. But she always give her time to review our homework and ask us our problem before we went to sleep. We seldom spent the time for vacation together, because she never had holiday except sunday and the national holiday. But she always give her time to took our annual report to see our progress in school. As I grew up , never cross in my mind if I was being married then I will become the housewife without any activities except take care the house and children. In my opinion being the worker will make you can contribute your talent and your skill for others beside you can make your own money. When I was teenagers I always wanted to get married before I'm 25 yo,because I always wanted so much being the close friend for my children like my mother did. And lucky me I was getting married when I was 25,5 yo. I was married with this man which I see for almost 7 years since we were first met. It so incredible that finally we can getting married because in fact we both come from the different ethnic and nationality. It was surprised me that my mother in law is as young as my mother and she has no daughter either. At that time, I thought we can make such a good friend instead of being mother-daughter in law. In fact so many lessons I can take seeing how ambitious she running her business. She look after 4 boys as well as she was running her business. I saw her as the woman who never get tired to work (read : hardworking) but she also doing well in take a good care of her house. And how lucky I am, because I have them both as the mother which I can consult any other problems related with take care of my girl,take care of the house,and many others issues related how to make the happy family. In my point of view it is so amazing if you can have a good career or the success entrepreneur as well as you can manage all stuff related to your family. But that was before I knew this woman, my new friend which we can have conversation only on our kid's sunday school. This woman, the mother of 2 kids ,was used to have a good career which mean she has already has a good position too in her office, but since she was waiting so long to having baby, then while she was getting pregnant, she quit from her job. I always see her so patient take a good care of her kids and look like she was really enjoy her time being the complete mother and friend for her kids. And I thought it was such a big sacrifice of her by leaving her good career, because I cant see myself do like her did...So no matter the woman choose her role as the housewife or the entrepreneur or the career woman, it always had come with the best value if they can create the happy,healthy and religious family...
