I read a timely article tonight about a not-for-profit campaigning organisation called Mothers at Home Matter and how on Mothering Sunday a group of ladies went to 10 Downing Street with a mothers day card as a reminder to the politicians that they were over looking a vital part of our society. You can read a little more about it here.
I thought it apt considering the recent post I made about Womanly Dominion and the lies that women believe. Our current British government do not value the stay at home parent and their undervalued view of this role in society only compounds the idea that to be a stay at home mum is a demeaning, unfulfilling and inadequate role. Maybe if the government starts to value mothers in the home then it would give more women the confidence to stay at home and look after their own children, husbands and house rather than farm out these tasks to other people at the same time paying most of their wages out on said care which is secondary compared to that care that the true mother of the family can give.
So what can we do? Pray first and foremost. Pray for the leaders, pray for a voice, pray for change. Secondly maybe we could write to our local MPs and fight for a right to be heard. If you are reading this from other countries rather than in sunny England (she says laughing as it pours down outside) then don't just discard this post as something not applicable to you but think about how your government treats stay at home mums. My guess is that it is much the same and your country needs a voice too.
