A home's breadwinning man is like a bird, and the people in his home are like his nest.

A bird leaves its nest at dawn and heads toward gardens and fields. It picks up a grain of food in its beak and brings it back, placing it into the mouths of its chicks waiting in the nest. It waits there patiently until the chicks swallow the food and expel the waste from their bodies out of the nest only then does the bird fly off again in search of more food.
The breadwinning man of a household is exactly the same. As soon as he wakes at dawn, he sets out toward the market, his job, or the fields in search of honest livelihood. He labors the whole day, keeping himself hungry and thirsty, and in the evening returns home carrying bags of milk, vegetables, and other groceries in his hands. He then sits with his children and family, asks after the wellbeing of relatives, and prepares himself to go out to work again the next morning.
Just as this man cares for his children and family in every way he can, it is likewise the duty of the household, at the very least, to value his hard work. From the earnings of this person who tries to fulfill every need of those sitting at home — some amount should be set aside for difficult times; that is, they should consider frugality necessary and save for their future. Most importantly, they should respect and honor the earning person, and keep him free from the home's and neighborhood's unnecessary worries and troubles, so that he may work in peace.
Some parents strive with all their might to give their children the best moral upbringing and a bright future, but because of constant troubles at home and lack of cooperation, this dream of building the best future remains nothing but a dream. Then that child becomes a source of worry for you, distance begins to grow between you and your relatives, and your neighbors are forced to change their path away from you.
