But don't you get it guys, the point is that we as a society screwed up. That is the point. The point is that we as a society screwed up big time. How?

We as a society disrespected the role of house wives and stay at home moms. It was us who looked down on them. It was us who didn't see the value of the contribution that they made. It was us that took their services for granted. It was us that didn't calculate the impact of their contribution to the national wealth. Don't you get it? That is the point. THAT is the point.

It was our short sightedness and our taking for granted 'house wives' and 'stay-at-home moms' that was the problem. We saw being a house wife and a stay-at-home mom as second best choices that are done by women without better opportunities. That was the problem. The problem was with our societal vision. Not with the career choices of 'house wives' and 'stay-at-home moms.' That is the point.

The point is that we as a society got so damned caught up in economics and politics that we lost sight of what is important: the future of the children. They are the future of the nation. Their well-being is what matters. But being such a poor nation where resources have to be fought for so dilligently, it is hard to remember the importance of raising healthy and strong kids. That is the point.
