Re: How to be a Successful Muslim Wife & Husband (merged)
SD, most of those men don’t know how to do the house work. Most of the men are not fimiliar with that stuff. If asked, I don’t think MOST OF THE DESI MEN would bash their mother, sisters or wife for cleaning their own plate. About switching, do you think MOST OF THE DESI WOMEN would like to be married to a guy with no job but who is a good kitchen handler?
About that generalization that men are pampared from the first day, I believe MOST OF THE DESI MEN would be thinking the same thing 
. You don’t know how’s its like to live in a man’s world so stop saying or implaying that it is easy for them. If men watch TV, play cricket etc. What do women do? Don’t they get pampared and spoiled?
Again, you haven’t answered the question. Why do some women think it is a burden to do the housework? Men who work don’t think their job is a burden? Who work to take care of their familes and other things? Marriage is a partnership where if you think doing your part is a burden then the ship will sink. About putting women as slaves. Desi men do that? What have you been reading these days? Desi and Pakistan women get spoiled a lot after their marriage life. Ask any girl. Also these women don’t feel that doing your house work is degrading by any means.
I come from a family where my mom work and took care of the household. When I grew a little bit older, I was responsible for washing, pressing my own clothes and taking care of my room. It is similar with most men. That’s how most of them are brought up. So, don’t go run around saying that it easy for men than women because it is not. Especially when you talk about marriage as it is a 50-50 partnership.
Evil, thanks for reply. I know what you mean by women who complain are actually asking for help in the household. I agree with that but don’t you think women who just think that it is degrading to do the house work are not helping or understanding their role as a wife who should take care of their house? Men who work to pay the rent and other utility bills. Most of the tuition, shoppping and other supplies are paid by the money earned by husbands. If they ask for a break, it shouldn’t be a big deal. Most of the women do not do the house work every day. In Pakistan, you have got your massi and a personal servant to take care of wiping the floor. Dhobi is there to wash most of the men clothes. In western countries I believe it gets ever more easier with dish washers and swifers etc. You not gonna break you hip bone if you do that work. As men of the house are paying for it. It is not that difficult, but some women do think that it is degrading if asked or implaied to do so.
