I think you have a different meaning of breadwinner than I know.
First, in rural areas you mentioned, the history was not created!
Second, men don't stay home, feed the kids, cook and do other house work while women are out on the farm. Both share the work. But this sharing of outside work has not been of historical significance.
Wow you clearly have no idea about history. Do you know farming is one of the earliest profession and still is the only source of income for majority of third world residents in Asia?
What history are you talking about and what particular area are you referring to?
Go to any village and find out how many women are staying at home raising kids. Almost all of them work besides their husband in the farms and raise cattle. Some work in factories or as domestic servents (maasis, maids). How may poor women are staying at home? Middle class women are NOT the majority in pakistan.

We are talking about usual functional families.
Actually you proved my point here:
The reason why people do not respect as much their parents is because one or both of them have no time to spend with them.

Yeah so both parents need to spend quality time with their kids. Fathers need to stop sleeping in on weekends and not staying at work so late that they are missing out on spending time with kids. Both are responsible for providing love and care, not JUST the mother.

You said youngest sibling, young enough to have diaper change. And you are female.
Hence, this sibling (gender irrelevant and unknown) thought you are the mother! :)

It's not because I am female, it's because I am the eldest and was very attached to her. My mom was very ill for few years so I had to take care of the little one and she grew up more attached to me.
My uncle stays home more than his wife can because shes a doctor and his own job isn't that time consuming so his kids are alot more attached to him. They are closer to him and miss him more when he's away. Like he came to pakistan for 2 weeks and his kids were always calling him and crying on the phone! But his wife goes out of town too and they never cry for her. Kids aren't attached to a female necessarily, just depends on whos around more and has developed a bond of love and trust.

Now answer me a million dollar question:
Would you employ a man as a baby sitter for your young children?
Open question to all so called feminists and gender equality proponents?

Depends on his maturity level. My brother used to babysit my younger siblings all the time. My fiance sometimes babysits his nieces and nephews when he's around.
What kind of a sexist question is this?
