Do men feel threatened if their wives make more?

Honestly, how many women do you know that work, and are desi, in respectable fields that by the way this thread is going, would be considered “power careers” do you know that neglect their home?

I’m doing pretty ok with my job, not to tout horns, but I come home and do my own cooking and cleaning, and no I still haven’t hired that maid although I really should so I can focus on a couple of other projects at work. But I do all my cooking and cleaning. Bathroom cleaned fully once a week, toilet cleaned multiple days, I cook dinner for most of my dinners, rarely go out (did for a while with friends, but that got expensive, although good for the lonliness). I do use the dishwasher now instead of my hands, cuz I finally have a dishwasher - never had one through my training and education, so I always did dishes by hand.

So, not clear…how do we not balance a career and a home?

ummmmm… you don’t have a husband yet who is earning less than you do, so your example doesn’t count.

Please read again post#102 (to which you replied). It doesn’t say,

1. All women in “power careers” neglect their home
2. All desi women in “power careers” neglect their home
3. Desis are great at appreciating women with “power careers”.

It only says that problems arise when they do neglect their home and this situation is not limited to desi households but almost all societies have this issue. There are also some psychological issues with some men when their wives earn more than them but again those are not expression of desi mentality but is a general phenomenon tested and documented by social scientists around the world.

P.S. Appending a ‘personals’ to every thread has not been a successful strategy, has it?
