The list here implies that the only thing the woman should expect from life is the gratification she gets from serving her husband. Further, children are not "treasures," they are people. They have their own needs, and not just from their mother, but from their father too.
It's not realistic or even healthy then or now to expect women to be completely self-sacraficing with nothing coming back in return. And I don't care how gratifying it might be, no one can give from an empty cup year after year after year.
I was mostly raised this way, but it still is a choice, everything is a choice. At one point in my life I rebelled against the idea of this lifestyle - but after a time, and after I met DH, everything just fell into place and it works for me.
With that said, I understand it doesn't work for all women. That's their choice and I happily leave it to them.

And excuse me . . . Don't complain if he stays out all night? And if he gives you an STD, assume you got it from a toilet seat.

I am outnumbered in my house, too, with hubby and two sons. They figured that they each have one vote. Imagine their surprise when they learned I have 3 votes, plus a tiebreaker vote!
There is one rule that we should remember.
If mama ain't happy NOBODY is happy.
