To work or not to work!

Now, don't make such martyrs of them. They don't do it only for their family or for the fear of society, they do it also for themselves. Working, climbing up the corporate ladder brings a sense of fulfillment, achievement and satisfaction. Besides, how would he buy that fast car he has been dreaming about since he was a small kid, if he doesn't go to work?

 

change must come from within. only then will it be reflected in society.

and, yeah. levity is fine, but that credit explanation/theory was a wash.

 

My husband enjoys his work so I don't see him wanting to quit in the near future. If for some reason that happens we would have to downgrade our living standards considerably but other than that I don't have any problem with him being a stay at home dad.

 

i have quit my moderate paying job to be with DH..my salary was 1/3 rd of my DH's..but now DH feels like going back to India and is aksing me to take up a job so that he can take a break (he wants to take up an alternate career which isnt definitely going to pay great)..though we havent discussed it completely, i too like the idea given that i get a decent paying job atleast for handling house hold expenses..i would definitely support him

 

thanks ajith!!

but i am not married yet,i said i will treat my man like a king, when i am married.

i have not experinced married life yet, but these are my views when i see it from this end.

but i really do respect men and sympathise with them, i even used to silently feel very bad for my male classmates till last year when college finished.

we girls took time off and pursued our hobbies after college, and did whatever we wanted, but poor boys felt the pressure during final year itself, had to look for jobs or had to prepare for higher studies.

this whole stigma attached to men staying at home, its too much. once they finish their studies they look for jobs and work continuosly until they retire at the age of 60!! whao!! they do deserve the respect.

but abusing wives, where does that come from? i don't think it should happen even happen if the wife is treating them like a doormat. it is not at all acceptable.

needless to say i am going to treat my man like a king, and i am going to be his maid, so long as i get the respect that i deserve.

 

monita

lol that is also true!!!!

 

Can you clarify?
Are you saying the wife can be abusive? (becos treating someome like a doormat is indeed abusive)
