A father once asked his very bright daughter,
"What would you like to become when you grow up..."
So the daughter said "I will have to be a housewife".
Father asked surprisingly, why my dear princess? You are so bright... I feel you are capable of being anything, a politician, an entrepreneur, doctor, an engineer. So why do you not want to be any of this...
So the daughter said, papa, wanting and being able to, are two different things...And you are my father...Your wishes for my career will not work....
Look at mom. My nanu (grandfather) just like you dreamt that she will be a big engineer one day... She studied so hard too....And worked as well. But after I was born, you don't let her work papa because of my care and home. You say that you can take care of the work and she needs to be here at home...
No matter what I study, if you get me married, my husband would do the same...So why should I waste all these years learning so much and dreaming papa? When my dreams would be broken anyways...So papa, I rather accept that I will be a housewife...
The man felt extremely guilty...He called his wife in and said sorry. He told her that he would support her in her career and dreams and home's responsibility will be of both from today and that they will manage this together...
Children learn by what they see. They deeply observe... If you want your children to have a great life, look within, are you modeling this behavior for them? For your daughters and sons, are you being good to your wife and to your husband and to people around you?
Your daughter of today is someone's wife of tomorrow...The way you treat your wife today is what your daughter will learn to expect from her future. The way you treat your wife will be your son's blueprint of his future...And the way you treat your husband is how they would expect and do in future to their spouses.
I hope you support each other in the journey called life, not block each other's goals and paths!
