In the olden days it took the whole village to raise a child. And in most cases women were responsible for looking after the homestead and their families because their husbands worked away from home. Women had to make sure that livestock was well looked after and they had to plough crops so that they can feed their children. Men usually visited home during holidays like Easter and Christmas or when there is death in the family, but this depended on where they were working. There were also no hospitals during those days, old women helped young women in giving birth as the father was away, he will be informed by a letter of a new addition in the family, this sometimes took months to do because not all the families had people who can write.
