HaHaHa. What a funny coincidence, I thought. I made a pretzel of it and went on my merry way.

One of the only YW lessons that REALLY sticks out to me (the others are just blurs of CTR's and "be temple worthy"s) was when my leader got up and talked about a woman's place being in the home nurturing her kids. Now, I have no problem with the nurturing kids part--if you're going to bring children into the world, you'd better love them with all you've got and take care of them as well as you know how. But the other part of the lesson was about how women should be "homemakers" (a large portion of time was dedicated to the distinction between housekeeping and homemaking) and make the home a warm, loving environment where the family could feel the spirit and be safe from outside influences. My leader spent a lot of the time talking about how careers get in the way of such things, and should be avoided if possible. It's the husband's (and only the husband's) job to provide for the family, even if the wife was able. This was around the time I was 12 or 13, and still a TBM. I felt so darn guilty for disagreeing with the lesson. Today, I'm glad I had enough sense to see how foolish it was.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888436563718147152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902252566256208652.post-79161344363207657852013-04-09T12:18:09.146-07:002013-04-09T12:18:09.146-07:00Thats Cool!

Oh, YW curriculum 0_0. <br /><br />Like your church mates, mine were writing things like "worthy priesthood holder" and "return missionary."<br /><br />I wrote a nice long list (that I keep in my journal to this day) which included:<br />"handsome"<br />"educated"<br />"makes me laugh"<br /><br />A few years later, as I went through my "omg I don't think the church is true" crisis, I penciled in "worthy priesthood holder" -- I was trying to save myself by holding true to my list.<br /><br />I scratched it out a day later, and wrote "I just want to marry someone I love."<br /><br />Today, I'm married (almost a year now) to a never-mo. The indoctrination doesn't always work! Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18194005694626178740noreply@blogger.com
