However there is some women, who love being a housewife.
Here is the News story about The Happy Housewife and how she saves money:

Nowadays, most women work professionally and they have to combine a job and a family. This, however, is not easy to requires a lot of effort, stamina and persistence.
At the same time, employers are unwilling to take or promote the women who rear children because they are afraid that they may not be as efficient and concentrated on their work as men. Hence, high-level positions still seem to be reserved for men. There are still too few women politicians, judges, uniwersity professors, ambassadors or managing directors… Instead , they work as typists, shop-assistants, nurses or hair-dressers… But this situation is changes slowly for the women right :)
Some ambitious women who put their career first decide to live alone and not get married to have the same chances in life as men.
What about man?
Husband only from time to time help women by picking up the children from some after-school activities or doing some minor repairs. They often in the evening sitting and watching matches with a bottle of beer and does not care about anything…
Nowadays, women try to ,,educate’’ their husbands and get them equally involved in keeping the house and caring for the kids. Unfortunately, very few are successful…
Currently some women has to only earn money and support the family. Then women can devote himself entirely to her career while her husband doing numerous domestic chores and rear the children.
Still, more and more women prove that even having less physical strenght and twice as many duties as men,they manage to complete with them and be successful mothers, housewives and career women.
Anyway, what man would be able to cope with having the home and work on his hands? :)
Someones say: "Family is the most beautiful career". Maybe many of you disagree with that, but you must agree at least that those two things are not contrasts. More and more employers try to help young mothers, of coure in Poland it's still big problem but I hope that in some years mothers of young children without problems in job will be common. Of coures I agree that men should help their wifes in rising children in spite of sitting with beer and watching TV maches. But knowing that we should also respect that a man can't be a woman and vice versa. Some differences in appearence but also in the place in society are nacessary.
ReplyDeleteCareer or family? I wish I could say: both of them, but I know that it's not that easy. A lot depends on the one's character, there are some men or women who think that they're just made for being a parent and being unemployed is not a problem for them. I know, there was a sad stereotype (and in Poland it seems to be still present) that women must stay at home, take care of the children and prepare meals for the whole family. Men should earn money and be a head of a family. It's slowly changing but still men have some special rights, when an employer can cull an employee from a young man and a young woman, there's a big probability that the men willget a job. Why? Because woman can click and go for a maternity leave. It is sad that nowadays people have to choose: career of family. I hope that it will change soon because current situation is not the best one.
ReplyDeleteCareer or family? It is an incredibly difficult choice. I think a woman cannot be entirely happy lacking either of them. For most women both are important in order to feel a sense of fulfillment and contentment. But handling a career and rearing children without help seems almost impossible. That is why it is good that nowadays some changes are occurring in our society. Men more often help at home with cleaning, cooking and most importantly caring for the children. I think this is beneficial to women as well as men.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good question. I agree with Michał: the family is the most beautiful career. For both: women and men, wife and husband. The good job is important, it would be good, if the job is a hobby, but I dont't thing the wor gets happiness. It could get satisfaction and it have to get money, but it's impossible it could get anything more. I think the life is fantastic adventure and husband or wife is the best partner in it. So in my opinion the good lifetime is the most important challenge :)
ReplyDeleteIt’s really awful that nowadays we have to answer that kind of question and decide between two options. Of course it’s better than in the past when women have only one possibility. I think that everybody should feel free to choose whatever he or she wants. The best option is to reconcile career and family. However, I agree with Michalina that for single person it’s impossible to combine gracefully those two things. That’s why marriage should all be about supporting each other.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the question "career or family" is really difficult. Fortunately, there are more and more of possibilities to reconclie both things. And if both parents share responsibilities in fair way, both of them can have equal opportunities of career. Or they COULD have equal opportunities if the employees traited women and men equally. Regrettably, in many companies they still don't do it. But it's changing for better too.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion family requires much more than career. Both are important and indispensable to make us happy, but when we try to reconcile them, one will always be neglected, irrespective of good intentions.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid that someday everyone has to choose whether family or career to allow to fall into neglect.
I think that women and men are made for something. Women have to spend more time in house with children and this is obvious for me. It is true that it is hard to join it with career, but there are laws of nature and :)
ReplyDeleteThere are seroiuse theories and views on role and status of women in postmodern society. We must confirm that feminist movements in last 60 years have big contribiution to new awareness of image of a woman and commenced the political debate on social inequality and the resistance of patriarchal model and mentality. But many reaserches indicate that theose women who made a career threaten to men's status. Not only business woman but also housewifes are appear to be more strong then males in depres situations.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to say. Everything dependance on abilities of man. Sometimes woman or man can do everything in work and in home. Maybe good idea is to work at home? But of course there aren't a lot of this kind of job.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion family is the best thing in this word and sometimes worth replace career to spending more time with family. Work takes the most important years in child development.
I wish for havimg the home and don't go to work:) I realize that looking for children and home is more responsible and hard assigment, but it is also more joyfull and successful. So i only need to find Mrs. Right who will have a vey well-paid job and determined to work as hard as she can. Nowadays stereotype that man are unable for being domestic is changing. Man are changing which is even more important and they aren't opposed against supporting their wives. So it's good when ther is a balance in relationship, but today some women give up with their families and probably they will be regret that in the future.
ReplyDeleteIt may be hard but it's possible to develop your career and have a loving family. Make a strict schedule of your work-time during the week. Then stick to it. For the rest of time devote yourself to your family. The happiness lies in the middle- you don't have to choose only one side after all.
ReplyDeleteI think that it's hard but there comes such time in life when we should forget a little about our career and take care about family, because we can always work, but when we grow older we'll stay alone and I don't think it's a thing that any one of us wants.
ReplyDeleteWhat about taking child to work? In many cases corporations are offering special care for kids- it's like kindergarten inside the workplace. In building a household both parents contribution is needed, and taking and switching a parental leave is possible. Setting up a home kindergarten is another option in which you can even make some money. All is manageable, in modern society we just need to flexible and find the right balance between the family and the carrier.
ReplyDeleteIt would be very unfair if the woman had to choose only one of these two, very important in her life things! I share the opinion that being mother is one of the most beautiful careers :) however, the child needs both of parents- and both of them should have the possibility to develop their talents also! So I think it's good that we speak about this problem more and more- and I hope the situation of the woman change soon.
ReplyDeleteNowadays for many people career is much more important than family. Sometimes famous models don't wont to have a child and don't interested in their family because of their job and career. That is strange for me because I think that everyone should have close relation with family. I understand that sometimes it is very difficult choice and everyone have his own opinion career or family, but for me both of them are very important.
ReplyDeleteAcording to me women are very strong and persistent. An example of my mother. My mom is a teacher and is a housewife. My dad can not cope very well with children. My mother does majority of the things in my family. I think that women are more persistent than men.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion the most important is family.But if I dont have a professional career I would be unhappy.So I have to connect professional career and family. I its possible to spend time with famili and have full time job
