Thanksgiving: Moms, The Heart of the Family


           Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving!


                           
This year my family celebrated Thanksgiving at my Aunt and Uncle's house; while we enjoyed each others company and stuffed ourselves endlessly. Although everyone else enjoyed this day off, I noticed their was one family in particular who was having a hard time enjoying the holiday many people don't work on.

The mom was a good family friend of ours and she was overwhelmed with taking care of her two young daughters. Her morning started off with cooking a few dishes for our Thanksgiving dinner, making sure the girls get out of bed, dressing them, picking out their clothes, styling both of her daughter's hair, finding matching shoes, and the list goes on. As she was explaining her very busy morning, I couldn't help but wonder what her husband must have been doing. If she had a list of things to do, her husband could have lighten up the work she had to do.

Well, why is it always the mother's job to get the girls ready for the day. I can understand if he might not be good at cooking, but he should be delighted to help his daughters get ready. In this society, there are too many married couples, especially women that are cultured, where they play these gender roles. Women cook, clean and take care of their children; while men work their nine hour shift, come home, and rest.

 Isn't it fair to say that these women work from the morning they wake up until the moment they go to sleep?


I found a video on Vimeo, respecting these mothers because they deserve to be acknowledged as hard workers. I am thankful for all of the moms out their working overtime taking care of their children.

Watch the video below to see this wonderful video of moms working in their "office" (home) and being everything that they are.

Mom's are superhero's who will do anything for their children. Moms are the heart of their family.
