TIME IS A GIFT A HOUSEWIFE GIVES HER FAMILY:
The time that a housewife puts into caring for her home and family is a gift to be cherished. Instead of putting her time into a career outside the home, a housewife chooses to put her most valuable asset – her time – into caring for what she loves most. A housewife doesn’t sacrifice a career for her home and family; she gives of herself with love the most precious of resources she has to that which is most precious to her.
