Though the original article pertains to the ultimate in charge of our life (Jesus), the interchanging role nowadays between the father and mother had brought me to this discussion. Here in my country where overseas job opportunity for women had prompted some mothers to left their family and seek a better future in other countries. Their choice to become the head and provider of the family had relegated the role of their husband (which is now popularly known as houseband) to be in charge of the left family. Though I have nothing against this set-up, but it has been a lengthy tradition and culture that man should be the one who does this role. Do you see anything wrong with this? Will there be any differences? How about you, whose in charge of your household? Please share your opinion.

Hi baleleng2008! Yeah you're right there will be no difference as long as the family are taking good care of. There are also some husband who is good as their wife in doing this task. Thanks for the reply.

One year after my husband and i got married... i went to work abroad for two years... we were still childless during that time... so after my contract expired... i opted not to renew so that i can get pregnant... and we can start a family... that was three years ago and my baby is not two years old... Eventhough there were offers for me to work abroad again... i opted not to because i want to be the one to take care of my baby... so now... my husband is the one working abroad... so... i am still in charge of the household...
