When I originally posted about my involvement with Raising Homemakers (here), I expected more than a few raised eyebrows and skeptical comments.  And boy, did I receive them!
.
I know that some feel that raising a 5-year-old (or a daughter of any age) to be intent upon being a housewife when she grows up is somehow limiting her options, squelching her talent or creativity, or otherwise fostering unrealistic expectations of life.
.
What if she never gets married? What if her husband passes away, or leaves? What if she just wants to work?
.

Today, I am over at Raising Homemakers, writing about why I am “Raising An Older Woman” .  It may not answer all of your questions, or objections.  But it might.  Either way I would love it if you’d click over and check it out!
I left a comment over there too (I saw it this morning), but well done on this post! Thanks for sharing. I hope you get at least as much encouragement for raising your little homemaker as you do criticism! More so!
Blessings,

Hi Veronica! First time on your blog… caught your words over at Raising Homemakers and just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed them. I am a pastor’s wife too! And would love to see women embracing these truths more and more. Thanks for sharing your heart…
I think it is good to raise your children to manage a home – whether they work or not. If someone had done the same with me, I would not be so disjointed as I attempt to maintain my home.
This post was awesome. So funny that I used to be on the other side of the fence but after being a Christian for 6 years and doing more studying, I so get this and understand it and pray that my daughter will be a homemaker. I am blessed to be able to have this life now and wouldn’t trade it for the world. Thank you for sharing this post. I love it. 🙂
