True or False?
Mothers may have careers, but their first duty is to be a homemaker.
It does depend on the relationship, and what is agreed upon. I don't think it's automatically only the woman's responsibility.
@thatregalmujer yeah of course. He still helps me with the kids when he gets back home from work n on his days off so it's not ALL on me. But I don't expect him to come back home from a long day at work n do some cleaning or something.
@mrs.jay__x definitely. I wouldn't expect that either. In some relationships, the woman works outside the home and the man stays home, so she wouldn't be expected to come home from a long day of work and do some cleaning or something
I make money but I will always take care of my house kids and hubby first I’m big on not letting my hubby do anything in the house I love to cater but that’s just me my hubby will do what he needs to in the house if needed but he knows I’ll get mad lol like I said though I love to cater
@brenduhhh it's what everyone in their own relationship are comfortable with and agree with. I disagree with the statement I posted because it implies that this is what a woman MUST do. I think that, universally, it's not her responsibility alone.
False, everyone has a different dynamic. I’ve always stayed making money even while on this SAHM journey. I personally aren’t on that patriarchal BS and refuse to let my husband dictate that idea into my household. Some men unfortunately use this as a form of control and I’m too much of a feminist to be in a completely traditional role, but that’s just me. I watched my FATHER stay at home and do that part until I went to kindergarten because my mother made more money than he did. We contribute where it’s needed regardless of gender and job roles. What matters is it gets done and everyone has their slice of happiness. We all have to roll up our sleeves, right?
Don’t get me started on how women used to run everything and all the men did was hunt and bring the wife what she needed home. Yes, they were heads of a village but really the women ran that village.
Girl, it's true, the men are in charge but the women run things! And yes, we contribute where needed, regardless of gender and job roles.
I wouldn’t say homemaker. I most definitely put my family before work when needed though.
If we are both working why should I be the only one keeping the house in order?
False. marriage is a team effort. Same with raising a child same with keeping House
Exactly my thoughts. Idk why people behave as though it's solely moms' responsibility to make sure every thing is fine with children and house. Father's are as capable of caring for children and household
It depends on the relationship I guess. In my marriage we agreed he'd be the provider n I'll be the housewife that takes care of the house n kids. It's good balance for us so it works perfectly for our relationship.
