THE UNSUNG HEROES OF OUR HOMES

• It was a pleasant evening of November 18,2017, when the 67th edition of Miss World pageant was held with 118 contestants from all over the world competing for the title.
•  
• The brilliant reply given by India's Manushi Chiller that earned her MISS WORLD 2017 crown to a question, 'Which profession deserves the highest salary and why? has set the ball rolling indeed. 
• 
  
• She rightly said that the job of a mother  deserves the highest salary,  it's not just money but the LOVE AND RESPECT  that she deserves. 
  
• A thought provoking answer indeed. 
•   
• No sooner did Manushi and her reply took the media by storm than various organisations released their findings, pointing out the rate at which the work that a mother does should be paid.
•   
• The question of unpaid labour of motherhood started doing rounds. 
•   
• It also gave a food for my thought. 
• 
  
• IS  MOTHERHOOD  REALLY  A PROFESSION? 
•   
• I always consider it as a  ROLE that we play in our life, rather in our family, be it of mother, daughter or a wife.
• A family works meticulously together, all members playing  their roles and contributing a bit to keep the bond strong among themselves.
• Being a Mom who took a hiatus from job and voluntarily decided to be hands-on-mom and fortunate enough for having a family who valued my contribution, I sincerely feel that.. 
• MOTHERS DO NOT WORK FOR SURVIVAL, THEY DO NOT WORK TO GET A REMUNERATION. 
•   
• They are homemakers, binding each member of the family emotionally and financially too. If they take a part of the well managed finance as  their remuneration the beauty of motherhood rather the relationship is lost.
• No amount of reward can match the love with which she prepares and serves food. 
•   
• WHAT TO COOK FOR MEALS EVERYDAY to satisfy the  tastebuds of each  one seems to be the most challenging part.
  
•   
• ALL MOTHERS THERE!!! 
• Are you listening? 

• I am sure all will unanimously agree with me that a mother is the happiest soul when all the members likes the food she prepares and no one sleeps with an empty stomach. 
• 
  
• There are STAY-AT-HOME MOMS AND THOSE JUGGLING BETWEEN CAREER AND HOME. 
•   
• Moms, whether stay-at-home or career oriented both deserves SALUTE for their price less contribution towards their families.
  
•   
• THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT  I WANT TO SAY IT LOUDLY.. 
• There are many cases where in mother's role is taken for granted with ungrateful families in such cases there is a dire need for healthy recognisation from not only all the members of the house but also from  the society as well. 
•   
• MOTHERS ARE THE BEST EXAMPLE OF INSPIRATION TO A CORPORATE PERSON.  The speed and the accuracy with which she manages the entire errands of a home sets an example of multitasking. 
•   
• Managing a home includes..
• Planning, Decision making, directing, implementing the plans monitoring discipline, reviewing the financial budget making necessary adjustments for sudden crisis, to be precise multitasking with doing all the household chores perfectly.. 
  
•   
• Following Manushi's reply, I have come across with many writeups about the cash remuneration  to be paid to all mothers. Who will pay her? Her own family members? 
•   
• Moreover, the glorification of motherhood absolves the ROLE OF FATHERS  who are sharing the responsibilities of running the house as well as raising the child too.
  
• Mother and Father together make a  family and both do not owe each other any remuneration, each one playing one's role of keeping the family happy. 
• At times, the role of a father is reversed with the man of the house being hands on parent to enable the lady of the house to pursue her career. Do we think of paying him?
  
  
  
• Manushi Chiller rightly said, it is not just money but the love and respect that a mother deserves, But with due respect to her reply I would say,  the love and respect a homemaker be a mother or a father deserves. 
•   
• Kudos to her for her excellent reply on a global stage that gave motherhood the recognition it deserves. 
•   
• No amount of remuneration can match the hardships, efforts with which a family is raised by a homemaker be a father or a mother.
• It is said that mothers make homes, I would say IT IS NOT JUST MOTHERS BUT FATHERS TOO MAKE HOMES.
• That too with a smile and enduring love 
  
• 
  
• I will be repeating myself if I say once again that...
• Love and respect that a homemaker deserves, is the highest salary indeed.
