What? Every one of us have read this kind of advertisement at least once in our life, a perfect marriage proposal, published on a daily newspaper. Right?
It’s not that only type of course, there are types of finding advertisement for the perfect wife one could possibly have. But have you ever noticed that girl must be fair, good looking and most importantly fit for all type of household chores. As if, it seems an advertisement for a caretaker or servant who will be around 24×7, doing all work and serve the family.
However stable wife has become, according to our society, household chores come first. You can die after completing it, nobody cares.
But in this century, where women are already going side by side of men, it’s equally impossible for a woman just as a man. But we expect to preserve their houses bare handly and men should get rest. As rushing out, making money is a man’s job and woman’s choice. And she should suffer for it.
Have you ever realize, how much ill conditioned is this!
Just because that’s how our society worked for ages, it doesn’t mean that it’ll be at today too. Every house make their women do clothing, cleaning,cooking but for boys, they don’t need to.why?because they are gonna have their mother and then their wife to do this ? Please update your mentality.Dont let your son be a load of baggage who gets dependent .Changes are happening in our society. In our professions and with these, we should change our mentality too.
Doing household chores, cooking, cleaning is some living necessities that should be taught to both men and women. And in a husband-wife relationship, if husband us working to earn, then their wife has also circumstances like him and he should understand that. I guess, if we just devide those work, they can become light, happier and less frustrating for both of them too.
