Agreed. Both parents share equal responsibility in raising a child. But while we point out the chauvinistic male mentality aren't we also going to point out cases of women who loves themselves more than their babies. Lets get real, while today's women cry out "equal rights for women", one also needs to remember, that there are certain things a man cannot do, even if he tries. Frankly speaking, other than breast feeding, cant think of any! 😛 And that too there are enough stay-at-homes who are unable to do so for various reasons. And I know enough working moms who manage that balance. 😃 I personally believe its a boon to be born as a woman, if you are a believer of God & creation, it's a fact that after God, only women can actually "create". Actually it again takes a man and woman to create 😉 Even if its IVF, you still need the man to ...er.. contribute? 😉 No doubt, the woman puts in a lot more work, but it still needs two to tango, lol!
Nobody gives up career permanently to raise a child, but isn't it also unfair on the child's part to grow up in a child care from 3 months of age, just because maternity leave cannot go beyond that! You obviously value money more than your own flesh and blood. Whoa! Where did that come from? Thats unfortunately the attitude that countless women have to put up with! And whats even more tragic, more often than not, it comes from other women in their lives! Mercifully, many men in today's day and age dont share that view, and, are happy to pitch in equally :-) So your love for a child is measured by the sacrifices you are willing to make for the kid, not the love, care, attention and thought you put up in his/her upbringing? 😕 Yes, there are sacrifices made by everyone in the process but thats what being a family and sharing a life together is all about. Its how you handle it - emotionally and mentally - that should be imp, not whether you work or not 😊
What use is a career if your child doesn't respond to your own touch? Why bear a child in the 1st place for entertainment? Being a "home maker" is a personal choice, I don't apreciate people looking down upon women who choose to be so. Oh oh is that where this is coming from? Who says being a home maker is an easy job? My mom was a home maker and I always hold that she did a far tougher job than I do, cos she didn't have the option to walk away like I do from a job. I genuinely think that many women who stay at home, project their own insecurities with this "look-down" peeve. My mom is a stay-at-home woman, who is extremely knowledgeable, widely travelled, well informed and can hold her own in most conversations. Its what you chose to make of yourself - has nothing to do with whether you chose to work or stay at home.
I guess it takes a lot more effort to make a house feel "home".
Of course it does, but a home is made from the combined efforts of both the man and woman. No matter how hard she tries, a woman alone cannot build and nuture a warm loving home. As always, takes two to tango! And any relationship, be it filial, marital, begins to fall apart if its one sided.😔
If a woman cannot create a home, she is definitely lacking grooming- there's a life beyond board rooms and suits
😊
Indeed there is, just like there is a life beyond babies, daiapers and home, the trick is to achieve a balance and not eschew one for the other 😊
