Blessings,
Mom of 12 and a grand mother of 12. Been widowed twice and am wonderfully married to the grandest choice YHWH could have ever made me for. [Our youngest children are 2 years old].

A wife and mother is a very honored profession that many struggle to reclaim. It is a truly worthy profession that neither gold or silver can replace. What happens to most mothers most wives is the dogma that has crept in over the last few generations.
May YHWH bless you to know how valuable of an asset you are and what a service it is to be there for your husband and your children. I have been called many names over time including old fashioned, none of these things offend me for I know the service I do is irreplaceable. You might just imagine the back biting whispers of having so many children. By TORAH, YHWH calls a person blessed when their quiver is full. By man-kinds standards this is a curse, as is to ask your husbands consent for things, or for the man to be in charge of the home. Is it surprising the worlds views are different that SCRIPTURE? I pray you Open your SCRIPTURES and study the link of family on the husband, father, mother, wife, and child positions under YHWH. There is an awesome plan for each and every one of us.
May YHWH bless and keep you. Here is a link for the many times the word for wife comes up in SCRIPTURE.
http://cf.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=0802 some are pleasant and some are not.
http://cf.blueletterbible.org/search/translationResults.cfm?Criteria=mother&Version=KJV&sf=5 likewise for a link of mothers.
With these links if you choose to study them; you will see that some have wonderful qualities and some do not. A prayerful discerning of which qualities you choose to possess, will do a great deal to share with you which qualities need to be developed. Please know we live in a society where often even a hen no longer knows how to mother her own chicks, for she had no role model. YHWH in HIS ABOUNDING GRACE gave us many role models, through HIS HALLOWED WORD. It is my prayer for you to be in prayer as you seek the type of mother and wife you would choose to be, while you study the WORD of YHWH.
IN YAHUSHUAs name. AMEIN
