Housewife And Grandfather Work

Mothers who are at home with their children are working where women work in the workplace. They also give to their families, even if they don’t bring a salary. They only get to bed late, but do not receive overtime pay. While this truth is hard to believe for many, parents at home do valuable work that is perhaps also the most beautiful work in the world.

We all know that we live in a world with a lot of demands on women. Women also demand a lot from themselves – they often want extreme efficiency in just about any area of ​​life. Many women fight every day in a society that gives them little recognition. They plan schedules, take care of the children, leave and apply for these from school, give money to their families, and on that side, of course, take care of their own emotional lives.

This is not easy, and yet millions of women do all this on a daily basis: they raise and educate, and still achieve the goals set in their work. However, there are also  many mothers who want to voluntarily delay their return to work after the birth of a child.

Sometimes this is due to personal choice, and sometimes again due to the context of the job or the complexity of finding a new job – return is often very difficult. It is still important to remember that a  woman or man who stays home to care for her children also does work, even if she is a housewife or grandfather.

Let’s think about this for a moment.

The housewife doesn’t make money, but works and invests in the best project

A child is not only an infinitely important project, but a parental responsibility, a daily source of inspiration, and a person to whom the rest of one’s life is dedicated.

• We know that nowadays it is easy to find mothers who return to work excited after taking their maternity leave – the length of the leave varies, but  in many countries the leave is only 4 months.
• However, a large proportion of couples in such countries think that such a short period of maternity leave is too little.
• Organizations such as the WHO recommend continuing breastfeeding for up to six months. Thus, it would be logical for social organizations to respond in countries with short maternity leave by extending this period.

Unfortunately, one thing is true: in the  world, the workplace is not always positive about the important needs of motherhood. Therefore, many women simply choose to stay home to raise their children.

“I stay home, but I still don’t confirm the traditional gender model”

Today, there is no shortage of people for whom it is very surprising that a mother voluntarily chooses this solution. For many, the first thing that comes to mind is that women “give up” the valuable time they could spend on increasing their professional and personal well-being.

• However, if the mother stays home and does not return to work, this will not confirm anything or leave the woman except for anything. These mothers get quality time and invest themselves in their children, and perhaps in an environment where there is no hurry, schedules, stress, or pressure.
• It is also important to remember that there are many men who choose to stay home to take care of their children. Often, however, in these situations, the family has a higher income, and thus the father can more easily postpone his return to work.

Parenting is a job that takes about 27 hours a day

This is not a paid job and there are no breaks or holidays. When you raise children, you still need to have qualifications in patience, expertise, and endurance.

• You don’t get much sleep, schedules really aren’t flexible, and weekends are just a continuation of the week.
• There are no coffee breaks or carefree dinners on Friday.

Mothers who choose to stay home do not complain about the absence of a monthly salary, nor will they ever complain. For many, there is no better pay than a children’s smile, a good night hug, or a shared nap on the couch.

Norway is considered by many to be a paradise for mothers and families

This is one fact that should be kept in mind on the subject: if social policy were to focus more on mediation, mothers around the world would not hesitate to combine work and motherhood.

Today, there are still many women who see how getting pregnant can lead to job loss.

As soon as this happens, this is proof that the society in question will not succeed in evolving.

That is why many consider the Nordic countries to be an example, such as Norway, where maternity leave is in good shape.

In Norway, maternity leave is 56 weeks (about a year and two months).

• Norwegian mothers can choose to take 46 weeks at 100% pay or 56 weeks at 80% pay.

• Dad can enjoy ten weeks off at full pay.
• In addition, day care services are guaranteed. Most companies in Norway actually offer this.
• Working hours average 37 hours per week.
• Norwegians can spend 20 days a year caring for children.
• The state offers 120 euros a month until the child is 18 years old.

It can therefore be said that Norway would be one ideal for all countries on short maternity leave. In this way, we could invest in equality, and we would also give value to raising children – that is our future.

We should never discriminate against a woman who, for one reason or another, decides to stay home to take care of her children. These women are investing in our future exactly where people spend their days in the workplace.
