Mrs. Sommer has sacrificed too much for her family and this is just a little bit that she could enjoy. Apparently Mrs. Sommer doesn’t want to abandon her family neither abandon her personal identity while fulfilling the role of a wife and a mother. The story's ambiguous ending suggests that the struggle is one that continues to be encountered by women. Most of the mother always sacrificed for their family and they barely
Since the husband’s role is to go out and provide a living for his family, the wives job is to look after the home. It may not be considered a public work, but her position within the home is still very vital and important. Her role is a non income producing activity, but ensures the success of the family. Another role for a Christian wife is the raising of her children. Titus 2: 3-5 states that, "Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored," (The Christian Woman", 2004).
My mother was always a single mother, so just like space, as I was growing up, money was tight. But my mother never let that hold back my siblings and me from getting our education and other goals she set for us. She knew we could do things that we believed we couldn’t possibly do, so she always encouraged us to be our best, no matter whatever or whoever tried to bring us down. The people that are in my life today have had a huge impact on the person who I’ve grown to be. My family, but especially my mother has molded me with their standards and expectations of me, and for them I am thankful.

Her actions were based upon whether papa’s acceptance and always thought about whether papa would love what she was doing or not. She was not doing things that she enjoys, rather things that will give her chance of winning papa’s love. In contrast, Amaka was not a shy person. She was very talkative and Father Amadi had even pointed out how Amaka always asks questions while Kambili is really quiet. Amaka spoke up to what she believes in and says things regardless of winning someone’s love.
Working Women do not put Their Children at Risk of Emotional Trauma Women are often thought of as the “homemakers” in families, but now-a-days this standard is being broken. We are currently seeing women become the “homemaker’s” counterpart, the “breadwinner”. However, with women now working jobs as well as the father, who is to care of the children? Yes, there are babysitters who can do this job perfectly, but how can one be sure that the children will not become emotionally traumatized by isolation from his or her mother? By having their mother go to work as well as their father children can learn not to be prejudiced against others, become independent and have strengthened family values.
WOMEN AND FAMILY It was said that women had experienced family life. Their main role was to be a perfect wife and a perfect mother. It was a difficult situation for many of them. For example, for Molly Hughes, who was reprimanding for wishing she was a boy. She said that her mother “did not give… [me]…a reason, but merely insisted that it was a splendid to be
