It is the woman's place to raise children, but it is the man's place to teach his son's his trade. Father and mother are supposed to be together in this.

This was explained to me by a cobbler's son of a cobbler's son many years ago (early 60s) in the little village of Reynoldsburg, OH. He was in his late 60s, went by the name of Shorty and made some very nice shoes. Repairs were quite reasonable too. With 6 kids, and another on the way, my mother appreciated that.

I would say this was very positive parenting on Osama's part. He obviously didn't want his children to miss any of what life had in store for them in the vocation Dad had chosen for them.
