All the extracurriculars they did

The time you spent with them
How you made them feel
Family traditions you created
Life skills you taught them

QUADRAGESIMO ANNO ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS XI
Mothers, concentrating on household duties, should work primarily in the home or in its immediate vicinity. It is an intolerable abuse, and to be abolished at all cost, for mothers on account of the father's low wage to be forced to engage in gainful occupations outside the home to the neglect of their proper cares and duties, especially the education of children. Every effort must therefore be made that fathers of families receive a wage large enough to meet ordinary family needs adequately.

A request from a sub:
