WORKING MOTHERS IN MOROCCO

WORKING MOTHERS IN MOROCCO

In the last two decades, there have been tremendous changes in our social life. More and more women are working outside their homes as doctors, nurses, and teachers or simply as unskilled workers. This has greatly affected the lifestyle of many Moroccan families. Some people think that working mothers sometimes neglect their Children and have little time to look after their homes and their children.

There is no doubt that some working women find it difficult to take care of their children while working outside. However, women are not the only ones to blame for this situation. Taking care of the children is not the responsibility of mothers alone. Fathers should share this responsibility with their wives and lend them a helping hand with some of the housework.

Working mothers are educated and can help their children with their homework. In addition, working mothers bring money home and help their husbands to face the ever increasing cost of living. They share in the high expenses of living and they buy their children nice clothes and toys which jobless mothers cannot afford.

Bringing up children is the duty of both the man and the woman. If husbands and wives and their children help each other, women won't have big problems working outside and being good mothers taking good care of their children.
