OUR SOCIETY IS BECOMING MORE ACCEPTING OF STAY-AT-HOME DADS. REALITY OR ILLUSION?
Society is still lagging behind in thoughts and considering things as they have to be, there are some who still go with the assumption that men should not stay at home unless they are on leave because it is their duty to go and work and earn for family and livelihood and women have to stay at home, cook, look after in-laws needs and kids and husband’s requirements.
If we say that society is becoming more accepting of stay-at-home situations, it’s to some extent an illusion because people have not adopted this to date and because of societies’ so-called traditions and myths about men’s and women’s and their responsibilities according to gender. It can be a reality and to some extent, there are some who have taken these ideas because they also want to equally responsible and liable towards their kids.
Stay at home is not that they will have that many responsibilities like moms, but they can manage the basic caring and look after their children. There is no awkwardness or inferiority in working from home and looking after home because they will understand what a woman does sacrifice and looks after everything without being getting noticed.
Stay at home is more of illusion and less of reality, but to make reality happen there’s a need for awareness and initiative to be taken by men with that, thought of people should be broad enough.
