Re: WHY girls work?
I know Dutch converts who gave up their jobs and chose to stay at home. Not all are mothers. I know one who has no children, she had a fine job in a hospital job and stopped working. She now works with other converts (some of do have kids) in an Islamic group, they don't earn money with it but try to spread the message of Islam and interest muslim chlidren and other sisters to learn more about our religion.
They are fine with giving up their careers and very happy.
