Social networks are constantly generating debate and not always in the best way because, as we all know, many people hide behind false names to insult and generate controversy. Some time ago, I decided to do a major cleaning of profiles to follow only informative accounts, users who bring knowledge to the world and those with positive profiles that lift our spirits with interesting tips and suggestions.
At Home Renaissance Foundation we spread the word about our work through Twitter (now X) and Instagram. From time to time, I review the content of our followers and last week we experienced a beautiful moment on Instagram.
A person who had previously felt ashamed of choosing to take care of her family and running her home decided to come out in the open as she realised that there was nothing shameful about her work but rather she should have pride in it and that it could help other people in her situation to value themselves and their decision.
She believed that she was alone in a society that values professional work outside the home much more than the work we all do inside, but she was met with collective applause, with social congratulations and, of course, with our recognition.
We know that not everyone can afford or wishes to have one spouse managing the home exclusively, but our research indicates that managing the home is key to the development of all the members of the family. It is also essential for professional wellbeing and all that is learned when this work is carried out. The beauty is to realise that it doesn’t matter how this management is done, but that more and more households value its importance.
