I ran across Who Am I Supposed to Be? through LAF/Beautiful Womanhood one time. I loved how Jasmine at Joyfully at Home had such a positive attitude toward staying at home. I wondered how to get that attitude. I wished I'd had it with me all along.
I didn't realize at first that she is what is termed a stay-at-home-daughter. I'm not sure I'm so keen on the concept, but her heart is in the right place for someday becoming a stay-at-home mom.
I guess the balancing question is, how do we teach our daughters to have the attitudes expressed in the article regarding staying home and caring for a family, yet still develop the qualities that help them become independent? Is it possible to have both? How?

That's a toughie. My opinion: teach the principle's you know to be right and be an example. My mom taught us about the world without having to be "in" the world. Sometimes I wondered about her wisdom in that because I found the world so much more attractive and experimented for myself. My conclusions led me back to the the church with a greater desire for a gospel based life. It's all kinda a gamble in it's own way because once our children reach the age of accountability they will begin to form their own opinions/feelings on all topics which leads back to -teach them what you know to be true and be a good example of what you are teaching.
