I was in tears reading this. Thank you for understanding.

In our modern era I submit that the Christian wife is often expected (and usually more strongly by herself than any outside force) to perform the duties of the Proverbs 31 Woman and all the woman's servants as well. Where the 31woman works in the marketplace and manages the household and sells the goods of the house which would be made both by herself and her servants, the modern woman expects to do the work of many. Also our houses are much bigger and take more upkeep than a stone house with a dirt or mosaic floor. When you study the historical context you begin to see that many hands were involved in keeping up the house, and families also lived multi-generational, so grandmothers, aunts, and cousins helped with managing children, housework, and cooking chores. in the modern day insular society we expect to do everything on our own. Our 'servant girls' may include 'labor-saving' devices such as dishwashers, washing machines, vacuums, etc., but don't include multiple persons performing the work. Or helping to organize a complicated schedule. (P.S. i think the supermom cartoon is great and extremely modest.)
