My home-making is a real full-time jobI have been happily married for 17 years and we have ten children aged between 16 and 2 years old. My main professional work during these 17 years has been my home and bringing up my children. In a country like Australia, where there is virtually no home help, one can really call this a full-time job.Being a teacher, by professional vocation, I passionately believe in Josemaria Escriva’s teaching that we parents are our children’s first educators. I have learnt more about teaching as a mother than when I was studying for my university degree. Josemaria Escriva’s teaching that we should approach our function as parents as a professional task has encouraged both my husband and I to continue our studies through Family Guidance courses and appropriate reading. We participate actively in educational associations that concern our children both at their schools and in other broader institutions. I hold a position at the New South Wales Parents’ Council, a volunteer organisation that represents the parents of non-governmental schools before the state government of New South Wales, Australia. http://www.josemariaescriva.info/article/my-home-making-is-a-real-full-time-job- |
