Is it wrong to want to be a homemaker?

Your teen daughter sees videos mocking homemakers or glorifying high-powered careers. She asks, “Is it wrong to stay home with kids someday?” What a great opportunity to teach God’s view of purpose. Proverbs 31:27 says, “She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.” Homemaking isn’t outdated—it’s honorable. So is working outside the home. The key? Letting God guide the calling. Talk about what it means to glorify God in every role—mom, nurse, teacher, or missionary. Remind her she’s not defined by culture, but by Christ. Whether she raises kids, runs a business, or both—support her in following God’s leading, not the world’s pressure. Encourage her to dream big—with a biblical compass.
