Hi Dear...
Today Indian cultre have changed and atleast in educated family it has...
If both work, wife may do the cooking but it is not she only to handle all household work... husbands do share as they see both of them are coming tired same way.
Even in-laws these days try to understand and they don't expect a women to work whole day hard and do whole household work all alone...
Like in my family too we are five co-sisters and we two most youngest ones are working others are house wife and they do understand if someone comes all tired and if husband help,no one will mind.
In joint family too these days its not like only wifes are supposed to help and husband doesn't. India is changing and that is I am talking with my experience.
And sometimes when needed, yes husbands cut short their working hour depending on situation and kind of wrk profile they have...
Yes dear, I agree. I'm not saying husband's shouldn't help. I also hold with the belief that husbands should help with housework if the wife is tired, because that is what a loving husband does, but I think when it comes to housework, a woman is expected to do more of it, and instead of fighting against it, a woman can talk with her husband so that both are possible. I'm just saying that a woman should not completely give up housework. That's irresponsible.
I definitly agree with you in this... it's women's first duty... kind of come natural but a helping hand or just a moral support from husbands can work wonders.
So we all are saying same thing in different way after all.
no we are not saying the same thing. and no its not a womans first duty. y don't men first duty come to family. its bc we been socialized think that and by this thinking it helps to keep us subserbvient to men. and if y are we calling a women irresponsible for giving up housework. bc its her job? y is it not a mans job? if they never lift a finger we would not call them irresponsible. I am so sick of thid double standard that we continue to perpetuate
