What turmoils do men get in life....

Re: What turmoils do men get in life....

It's funny. Growing up my parents always wanted me to be a doctor, not a teacher. But I went with teaching and majored in English of all things, and they supported me. As good and open-minded as my parents are, I don't know what would have happened if my brothers had made the same decision. I doubt they would have had quite the same freedom to pursue a passion without a clear career path the way I did. Luckily both ended up pursuing interests and solid career paths, but I do think they bear a much greater burden in terms of financial support for the family AND other forms of support and care.

ohu, i was ranting, as well as just wondering that its generally the case where women do get a harder life....yes my husband does help around, but i wasnt talking about ME, i was talking generally, even my own father, i love him hes the best man in the world, but then i do see typical chauvinistic traits in my dad that i wish i could say something about....like he didnt want my mum to work when they got married, mum obliged without batting an eyelid, while if my hubby had asked that of me, hes be dead meat...

if daddy doesnt tell mummy how to take care of the baby, mummy shouldnt boss him as well.....let daddy do it in peace as he wants to..(and in this generation men do take responsibility equally)
men say their share is harder, women say theirs is harder....bottom line is tht we'll probably get to hear the same complain even after switching places, as it is in human nature to always want the other thing

we all feel worthless when we dont have anything to do, women are best at emotional stuff(proven scientifically), hence tht's where the caring bit comes from, it's natural....men are made for the tough work, hence all tht fast metabolsim thing, as they need energy......women are not meant to do all the hard work....accept yr role, work if u want to, why always complain?.....in this age as it is, women work, men work..women clean the babies, men do as well...women clean house, men do too...

Men and women both have designated responsibilities. It's a matter of how responsible you are. If you ain't responsible then does it matter? I would rather have a responsibility of house chores than another human life. In our desi culture, men are responsible for providing for their families and women are responsible for turning a Khali Makan into home. Now that doesn't sound like a bad deal but if you have reveresed responsibilities than you have flipped the situation altogether. If you want to take care of kids, go to work, cook and clean then you have taken up more responsibilities than you are okay with. Was it your decision? If no, then I am sorry. If yes, then you shouldn't complain.
