Mothers who know are nurturers. This is their special assignment and role under the plan of happiness. To nurture means to cultivate, care for, and make grow. Therefore, mothers who know create a climate for spiritual and temporal growth in their homes. Another word for nurturing is homemaking. Homemaking includes cooking, washing clothes and dishes, and keeping an orderly home. Home is where women have the most power and influence; therefore, Latter-day Saint women should be the best homemakers in the world. (Julie B. Beck, Mothers Who Know, Ensign, p. 76, November 2007)Homemaking skills skip a generation in my family.

Good thing you are having a girl! She'll be doing all that in no time if it skips a generation.

Whatever! I've had the food you make and you're a great cook! Now me on the other hand...
We have SUCH the reversed roles in my house. My husband caught up the laundry and cleaned the kitchen yesterday and just brought breakfast to me. And guess who did the dishes last night. Yeah, it wasn't me.
I'm going to side with an apostle on this one.
"What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else."
