When I was reading on the reading The Heard Defended I felt that the story had a somewhat of a large bias opinion on mothers. It is true that mother's role in a person's childhood is big but I felt that the opinion was pushing so much on the mother. I personally think a mother should take part in their child's life but in some certain circumstances I believe it is alright for a mother to work.
My mother has started working under my father around the beginning of middle school, she would work and then come back around the time I come back from school. My mother still worked on the house works like a stay-home mom would. Nothing has changed after she started working. I personally think that a mother's role is bigger when it's the beginning of childhood.
After reading and looking up on the role of a mother (due to my sister just recently having a child) it is obvious that the child's beginning stage is very important to have he/she's mother by their side. Although the economy today, it is hard for a mother to stay by their child's side. My sister, she works and my brother-in-law also works. They both have a good job that pays well, but because of my nephew and the costs of taking care of a baby is very expensive. The costs of diapers, nanny, wipes, clothes, food, toys, etc is far more expensive than what people usually think. Not just that but now we need to add the parent's everyday needs, transportation, etc.
