Being responsible........

Re: Being responsible…

Financial responsibility doesnt fall into the same category as does managing household chores.

That man earns the bread and feeds the family is the responsibility he is born with. Just as a woman is supposed to give birth to the children and take care of them. Acha chalo lets put this giving birth phenomenon aside since its only a biological fact. How many mothers have you seen who “depend” on others/parents/siblings/inlaws etc for taking care of children. I guess very very less. No one is that angel here Nomi, that they will lend a hand in your responsibilities, for long and without any reason.

No one expects from a mother to hand her children over to others and play carelessly. Now, if some doesnt, she is cursed from all sides at being an insensitive and calreless mother and whatnot.

AS far as a working mother/wife is concerned, she is already doing double jobs. Even then, as per my own observation, i havent honestly seen many mothers or mils who would solely take care and nurse the kids in the absence of the mother. Most have to arrange maids for that. Even those mothers or mils who do, they do it more out of their own maternal /paternal love for the kid. Since the woman doesnt bring the kid along from her work place, does she?

Nomi, your comparison wasnt apt. Im sorry :silly:

take a bow bro, for once again bringing out to the fore, the finer / subtler aspects of gender discrimination!

Re: Being responsible........

why is only financial responsibility being highlighted? What about social and emotional responsibility?

Re: Being responsible…

the rest of your post was redundant…after the first line…
if you are saying childbirth is a “responsibility”…i can’t say much more can i??

well… i picked one responsibilty and compared it with another… whats your point??

Re: Being responsible........

what age are you talking about? in this day and age, men and women alike can choose to whatever they like

Re: Being responsible........

Nomi, my point is that responsibility isn't just about finances. Anyway, carry on.

Re: Being responsible........

i am not contesting tht.....i didn't mean that finances are the only responsibility......i am saying its one of the major ones.......i am not saying that a man is done with his end of the deal if he only manages finances.........
