You can be really proud to have had such a mother who brought you up to be the good person you are today.
I think most women still work more (work and at home) and earn less than men do.
Times were different back then, but some things haven't changed that much I think. If a beautiful woman would move to the small village I come from, then I am sure all other women would have more than only one eye on her to see if she is smiling to one of their men ;) lol
Cheers and !BEER
Oh yes, she was and still is my hero Sir Johan,
She was a very strict mother and nilly about cleanliness. I used to cringe whe she grabbed me in the bath with a hard bristle brush to scrub me.
But today I know that she did it for our own good.
The case of women have made some improvements on the business front, but it is true that men stll lead, which I deem to be unfair aldo in the case of a woman doing the same job as a man.
Many woman CEO's nowadays as in my mom's time there were none.
I agree with you as far as the beauty issue is concerned, there will always be insecurity and strife.
None of their husbands were allowed to help my mom or us with anything and I if they had to walk past our house, they had to walk on the opposite side of the road hahaha.
A few of the married guys tried their luck with my mom when they saw her in the shops without their wives, but she put them cold very quickly lol.
Cheers and thank you!
I hated my parents sometimes how they treated me, but now I know that they loved me and they did everything right.
As said, you can be proud to have had such a woman as mom, and you are, of course.
Cheers and !BEER
You know, my kids said the same thing to me after they married and had children.
We are not perfect parents, but we try our best even in the tough times and just have to remain to be an anchor for them.
Now that they are far away from me, the less calls that I get from them, the happier I am because I know that they are making their own ways in life. Now and then when they are troubled by something difficult, I am the first one that they call.
This is as it should be according to me.
Yes, my mom was and continues to be my hero.
Cheers and thank you!
I think what you wrote is completely right - we should be the anchor which they can rely on when they need one.
To be the first one they think of means they trust you and know you will try to help - that's good and shows you have done everything right. I hope it will be the same with us and out kids 🙂
Cheers and !BEER
I am sure that you will also see the truth like me in the later years once they are established with their own families. Life just works out like that and it might sound cruel, but I always told them that once they are finished with school, that's it, they must go and make their own lives.
Two of them continued to study at university and I only paid their registration fees.
They had to find part time work to pay their own courses and exam fees. Best move I ever made, as today they are proud of their own accomplishments!
Now when the time comes for me to depart this life, I can go in peace, knowing that they are quite capable of looking after themselves.
Cheers and thank you!
As said, you are completely right and this way they learn how to manage their own life. That's also the way my parents have done it with me and my siblings and it was a sometimes hard, but a good and working way.
Next months my kids will be 18. My daughter is still going to school and I think she will go to the University, but we are not sure yet what she wants to study. My son is still searching for something he likes and we try to help him as best as we can.
Cheers and !BEER
What is the employment situation in Austria Sir Johann?
It is extremely difficult for youngsters to find employment here and we are trying with the charity to instill a culture of self employment.
South Africa currently has a 60% un-employment figure and there's no quick solutions in sight.
I am in the process of writing a new skills training project.
We have also already started to gather the requirements for the project, as I have 8 new laptops and the idea is to teach unemployed university graduates advanced coding and also to list each graduate from the project on #hive.
Just my idea here and I don't know what talents your son has, but he should search for something that matches it methinks!
Cheers and thank you!
Ps. The reason why I mention our new project idea here, is that we hope and pray that others on @hive that reads this, will copy the idea. It will empower their own youngsters in their country and it could be of great benefit for the growth of #hive.
