Re: housewifes pay
You feel badly for your mother - you see her cry in private over how she is treated. and you know your father (and brother) are responsible for this. You have said you are not afraid to speak your mind.
But you are not willing to have a heart to heart talk with your father about this very important issue. We all have blind spots. Maybe your father does not realize the hurt he is causing your mother. It would not hurt to gently let him know that even though he may not mean to, your mother gets hurt by his attitude (you can choose nices words, but you get the drift). This much you can do for your mother.
