Gender and Family life 

            Men and Women are built different, so they all have their own roles in the home. We are built for a reason. The role balance each other out, making the home flow smoothly. In the Family: A Proclamation to the World, says how important the two roles are. “By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for the families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners”.  A mother and father have their responsibility that they have naturally. They don't need to learn them.  

 Mothers are born with a motherly instinct. The significance of mothers’ influence is first grounded in the relationship she forms with her child. Because motherhood is part of a women’s divine identity, her role as mother defined by a relationship more than a set of tasks. It is not what a mother does like, cleans the house, make dinner, but more of her relationship with her children. The natural relationship that happens between a mother and her child. A mother’s attentive love in this new relationship becomes the foundation by which all the other tasks of mothering become effective.

Mothers may feel guilt if they can’t be there for their children. If they may have to step in and take some responsibilities and get a job or leave for combat. Which may lead them further into a cycle of exhaustion and perceived failure in parenting. They may hold themselves responsible for things they can’t control. That's the worst feeling in the world. Who like to have no control over anything? Yeah that's what I thought. It is important to remember that no one is perfect, and no one is going to have perfect children. 

Father's have the ability, for good or ill, to exercise great power and influence in the lives of their children and families. A father needs the power to bless, which could be called Priesthood power. Fathers can model moral living and kindness to others so that their children accept sacred covenants. Fathers protect the family from their own sins or poor behavioral choices. They teach right form wrong. 

At a very young age we know our gender and the roles that follows that. In the article Infants Prefer Toys By Gender by ACSH staff-July 22,2016 says, “Children as young as 9 months-old prefer to play with toys specific to their own gender, the study found, suggesting that boys and girls follow different developmental trajectories with respect to selection of gender-typed toys”. We have known our roles since day one. We know what we are made to do. Its important to remember that especially now a days. Remember your roles and stick to them. Thanks for reading. See you in the next one, Bye!
