He nui nā wāhine,ʻoiai ma nā makahiki mua o ka maleʻana, nā lā hānau o ka makuahōnōwai wahine e kali nei me keʻano ākea, me he mea lā he ho'āʻo paʻakikī. Manaʻoʻo ia e pale i nā hōʻino a me nā hōʻino mai ka makuahine o kāna kāne, ua kānalua lākou i ka kohoʻana i ka makana maikaʻi. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ke kākoʻo maikaʻi e kōkua i ka hoʻokumuʻana i ka pilina, e koho i ka kī pololei i ka naʻau. ʻO ka kohoʻana o ka makana a ka makuahōnōwai nui e hilinaʻi nui i keʻano o ka wahine, kāna hana, a me kona mau manaʻo i ke ola, no laila ponoʻoe e hele makaukau no ka lā hānau. ʻO ka mea mua, e noi aku i kāna kāne me kaʻoluʻolu, no ka mea he ponoʻo ia e hoʻomaopopo iki i nā mea a kona makuahine i makemake ai. Inā ma luna o kaʻaha kūkā o kaʻohana kekahi mau pilikia me ka kohoʻana o nā makana, a laila e hoʻoholo i nā manaʻo maikaʻi a nā kaikamāhine i lawe mua iāʻoe.
He aha kaʻu e hāʻawi ai i koʻu makuahōnōwai wahine no ka lā hānau e hiki mai ana?
Hoʻomaopopo pono nā wāhine pakihi i nā kumuhana hiki ke hoʻohanaʻia i loko o ka lumi kuke aiʻole i ka home. Ma kahi o nā kāhili i hoʻonaniʻia, pono iā lākou ke hōʻike i kahi mea nui - he kapa pale kapa, nā pākū, nā lole moe, nā noho pono i kahi dacha a me ka lumi kuke, kahi hana lole, mea mea hale. Ināʻaʻoleʻo ia i kahi papa momona maikaʻi a iʻole kekahi ipu hao kūpono, eʻimi i nā mea maikaʻi no ka lā hānau no kona lā hānau.
E hoʻomaopopo i nā mea loea hou e pono ai kaʻike liʻiliʻi, a ināʻaʻole i hana ka wahine me ka lehulehu a mea hana meaʻai paha, e hoʻopaneʻe anaʻo ia a hiki i ka manawa e mahalo nui aiʻo ia i kou manaʻo nui. Akā inā e holomua ka lakohana o ka lumi kuke, e mahalo nui kou makuahōnōwai iāʻoe no nā makahiki he nui. Ponoʻoe e kūʻai iā ia i puke me nā meaʻai, a me nā'āpana hou a me nā kīʻaha,ʻo ia ka maʻalahi iā ia eʻike i ka mea hou.
Inā he'ōpiopio paha ka makuahine o kāu kāne, he wahine hana a he wahine kālepa, a lailaʻo ka nīnau i ka mea e hāʻawi ai i kou makuahōnōwai no ka lā makahiki, ua hoʻoholo maikaʻiʻia kahi maʻalahi. Ma kekahi lā pāʻina, hiki iā ia ke hōʻike i kahi pona, papapihi,'ōnaehana maʻalahi a maʻalahi, kekahi hana maʻalahi no ka home a me ka hanaʻana. ʻAʻole e hōʻole kekahi wahine wahine i ka peʻapeʻa i ka papa mele, kahi huakaʻi i ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni, mai kahi palapala hōʻoia i kahi lumi nani a i kahi keʻena hoʻokipa. ʻO ka mea pono, pono e hoʻolako maikaʻiʻia kekahi makana, i mea e hoʻoikaika ai i ka hōʻailona o ka hōʻike a hoʻokūpaʻa i kou aloha.
