What Is Your Role In The Family?

Proverbs 18:22 says - Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. Indeed being a mother and a wife are two significant roles.A it takes a real godly woman to fulfill the two roles excellently. It's really a tough one and so even the wisest man who ever lived declare that any man who finds a good wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from God. I believe we wives and mothers are the most selfless creatures here on earth because by serving both our husband and wife we always care less about our own benefits. Our husband and our children became our top priorities. Indeed mothers are really great. And all women should strive to be a virtuous woman in order to become godly wife and mother and here is the best guidelines lifted from the word of God: 10Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. 11The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. 12She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. 13She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. 14She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. 15She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. 16She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. 17She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. 18She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. 19She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. 20She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. 21She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. 22She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. 23Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. 24She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. 25Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. 26She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. 27She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. 28Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. 29Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. 30Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. 31Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates

Hi friends... I live with my parents. I am the only child and the youngest member of the family and still a student. I don't have to play a very responsible role in my family for this reason. My dad earns for our family and my mom is a house-wife. They still think I am a kid and deals with me that way. But now am 22 and a grown-up person. I know the responsibility for my family too. I am now gradually taking over the responsibility from my dad and preparing myself to face the real world outside. Play days are over....

i am a daughter. i am a sister, an aunt also, but being a daughter and when my brother stays in a different city, i have to take large responsibility of my parents. they are ill or whatever, its me who arrange for them/ also i take many monetary responsibilities as well.

My current role in my family is as a caretaker to my 91-yr-old mother. Every day she finds it more difficult to get around, but she refuses to give up or give in. She has emphysema (end stage), lost her sight to macular degeneration, has herniated disks in her back that cause daily back pain and discomfort, one bad knee, and one knee replacement that has never been good. She still dresses herself, makes her own bed, washes dishes (although I do have to check them more than before), bathes herself, all while on oxygen 24/7 and needing a walker to help her get about. I live with her, make her meals, wash her clothes, wash dishes when she's not up to it, make sure her medications are ready to take and refilled when needed, and do her shopping. I take her to her doctor's appts and schedule others as needed. I still pay rent on my apartment where my daughter is living, more on her own than not. I'm also her mom, but more in a supporting and encouraging role than active. I'm also mom to my son who lives 2300 miles away with his family, so my role in his life isn't as active, nor has it been for quite a while when he decided he wanted to live with his dad. But, he calls, puts the kids on and they talk to me and Mom (which makes her very happy).

I'm the dad, I stay at home because my wife is a travel nurse and it works best this way. I/we home school our children, I may not be the financial support of the family but I'm the chef and the encourager. The roles have been reversed and even though sometimes I think I'm unqualified for this gig I still do it because I know that my children are learning from me as much as I'm learning from them. I am the spiritual leader of my family and even though I don't have the responsibility of leaving the home to go to work I still have the responsibility of taking care of the house and all contents inside. Its challenging and some days are more stellar than others, but I'm giving to my family far more than a paycheck ever did.

Im the eldest child in the family. so im the next bread winner for them. I have to work hard for me to help my parents in the financial problems.

I'm a mother, tutor, cook etc......of my kids and a wife and free maid (hee hee) of my hubby.

sister, granddaughter, daughter. Lol. and I am loving each role that I play because it gets interesting every other day. One moment, you'll find yourself questioning, am I doing a good job being.. say a daughter to my parents? a sister to my sister? a granddaughter to my grandparents? It is tough but I guess realizing your role in the family will result to a better relationship with them. :)

i am a student...hihihi...but though i'm the youngest in the family for being 17..i happened to be the peacemaker...i don't want that my family would always fight...especially about money..i would really stop the conversation if the conversation leads to a problem..
