3.0  PERSONAL VIEW/ OPINION

We partially agree with the author that stay-at-home mothers is important to be restored so that they can help to improve the society because one of the greatest accomplishment in life is being a stay-at-home mother to teach and model good behavior and moral strength. However, We think that a mother also has the right to work. This is because they also study at universities and other institutions, why need to waste knowledge that has been learned by simply becoming a housewife and educating the child on morals alone. According to Debate.org (2016), they are more respected and deserve that respect more than a house wife House wife's are also respected but up to a certain level, like once the kids are in full time education there is no reason for her not to get a job unless she got to so used to being at home and not in the workforce and can't be bothered to work as it's more stressful and boring.

4.0 CONCLUSION

In conclusion, we reaffirm our stand that stay-at-home mothers are important and is a must in order to raise their children. Nonetheless, we strongly believe that the way a child is treated affects their growth in their life.
