I am concerned about the way women as housewives and mothers are beingdevalued and alienated. The family is one of our most sacred institutions,and it needs once more to be respected and treasured. Young mums doingtheir best under difficult circumstances are vilified for bringingchildren to supposedly `user-friendly' places. What are theymeant to do while their children are on holiday? They are just madeoutcasts. Even Third World

nations have a family support system to nurture and appreciate the nextgeneration. Let's give mothers our support, not stupid criticism andjudgmental attitudes.
