One of the primary contributors to our family values being eroded to the point that it is at right now stems from our women being forced to abandoned their position within the home to become breadwinners. And before it gets too late, I am now sounding a clarion call for our women to reassume their rightful place as homemakers and the nurturing agents of our families.

As a traditionalist who strongly believes women should return to their rightful place within the home as mothers, wives and caregivers. If done, this will breach the devoid that has separated our family unit for too long. As a result, our family values and certain morally accepted standards have fallen by the way site, and which have since plunged our society in to a morally reprehensible gutter.

That’s why I am now calling for more of our women to stay at home and take care of their families. If they don’t return to the home, then we are heading down a slippery slope where, if there are no nothing in the way to slow us down for us to catch our breath and take stock of what is happening to us, then we might end up in a couple of years from now at a point of no return. By that time, it wouldn’t do any good trying to shut the gate, because horse would have long bolted.

But the question I’d like us Canadians to ask ourselves is this: Do we really value traditional family values as opposed to what now obtains?

If I could speak for everyone, then my answer would have been a resounding, “No!”

“Why?” you asked.

Well, as far as I am concerned, since the end of the Second World War, the world has seen a marked decline in family values. And when I say “family values”, I mean that our moral and ethical principles, traditionally upheld bedrock within the family unit and which forms a critical pattern on the fabric of the society.That fabric has long lost its beautiful pattern.

One of the forces at play that is responsible for this erosion of our family values and standards is what is popularly termed “cultural penetration”. We have sat by idly and allowed cultural influences and lifestyles to replace what we once cherished and held dear and close to our hearts.

But speaking broadly, cultural penetration has been very strategic in its attack, and has hit us on every front via videos, films, music, television, even the printed word, and now social media. There is nothing inherently wrong with these media, but it is how we have allowed them to corrupt the minds and decency of our people, especially the young and defenseless whose impressionable minds sways with ever popular wind.

Therefore, parents no longer control the nurturing of your young children’s minds. And as a result, the values families once held dear to hearts are no longer the foundation on which our young people learn, grow, and develop into responsible adults thus taking their rightful place in society in defending their moral heritage.

Coupled with what has been said before, the rise of feminism has been one of the driving force behind women’s desertion of the home for work place where they are competing viciously with their male counterparts for the breadwinner position within the home. This has resulted in less women staying home and becoming the glue that holds the family unit together.

As a result, this has forced men reluctantly take assume men to adapt a more domesticated lifestyle – staying home and looking after the children while the woman is out slaving to keep the roof over the family’s head and food on the table. This position has also forced some of our men to become marginalized, sending their women out to work in order to bring in the money to them.

My belief is, that a strong and unified family is one that sustains, supports, and nourishes its members. And each partner has their roles and responsibilities clearly defined. The man’s job is to provide security for his family as the head of the household. The woman’s role is to provide a loving and nurturing environment for her family to thrive in. She is the point on which the family balances.

Therefore, I strongly submit to our parliamentarians and other powers to bring forth the necessary stay at home legislation that will convince women to remain with their families.Thereby, effectively reversing the morally decaying practices that are destroying the very fabric of our society – the family unit.

→ There needs to be legislation that keeps mothers at home raising their families.

I reiterate: I want see our women return to their families. I don’t think the boardroom is the place for them, but the home certainly is. If our women don’t return to their place within the home, then the question is: “So, who really is at home taking care of our children? Is it the helper? The TV? The Computer? The video game, social media, what?”

You see, once we start losing the family structure, we begin losing the foundation of our society. Without a strong family unit, we are basically building our future on sand. There’s no stability there when challenges come along, and eventually we will quickly fall apart because there’s nothing there to hold us firmly to the ground.

With women spending all their time working,I’d like our government officials to offer women incentives to stay at home to take care of their family. A strong family is one that sustains and supports its members. You can have both mother and father competing with each other in the work place, while no one is at home to see that the family remains as a unifying force.

The degradation in our society is increasing tremendously. To create good strong families, our women need to return to the home and take up their role as homemakers.

If as a nation we return to the traditional ways of rearing our family, then society as a whole would benefit. The productivity level of society all around will go way up , bringing us a happier and healthy home.
