Earning Money versus Providing for a Family

When your focus is solely on earning money, you do just that: you do some work, earn a bit of money, and squander it on lipstick and cosmetics. But when you earn to sustain a family, you shoulder the weight of every wish and aspiration of all its members.

You do not merely arrange for their food and shelter; you fulfill their every need. Not only that—to achieve this monumental task, you often take up work that is not to your liking, merely because it pays enough to meet your family's needs alongside your own.

At the workplace, you often swallow bitter insults in silence, because the job—and the income it yields—is indispensable. You must also ensure that should any misfortune strike tomorrow and that income stop, the household can still keep running for a time until another source of livelihood is arranged.

In short, you strangle your own personal existence, your ambitions, and your desires, sacrificing yourself for the sustenance of a family comprising your elderly parents, wife, and children—and you keep doing this work relentlessly, generation after generation. No matter the hardships at the workplace, you cannot simply walk away, for you bear the responsibility of sustaining an entire family, not merely earning money for yourself.

And far from receiving any credit for doing all this, you are taunted: "What novel feat have you accomplished? Everyone does this, and does it far better than you; this is merely your duty."

Now consider history, and answer in the comments: since time immemorial, who has been sustaining the family, who has been making these sacrifices? Woman, or man?
