Introduction:

Beginning from cradle to grave, female population has always been contributing a lot in the families in particular and the society at large. It is generally believed that in order to have a happy and successful society, it is utmost important and essential to make every family happy, healthy, prosperous and peaceful. In order to impress their parents and to gain extra love and affection, almost all the female children always try to excel in every field. They even learn to do household chores and also look after their younger siblings. All these small deeds bring lots of happiness and satisfaction to their parents.

Generally, female offspring are second mother to their younger siblings, because they observe and see their mother’s ways of loving and caring her children and they are more or less trained at home in nurturing kids and they even try their gained knowledge during their mother’s absence.  In that way, she even lightens the work-loads of mother at home.
