who have a bigger responsibilty? the wife or the husband?

I believe that it is shared. I could not do my job taking care of the kids and the house without my husband's support and he couldn't do his job without my support. It has to be about shared responsibility or I just don't think that households run smoothly at all.

I always believe that husband should take full responsibility for their family but then I realized that if you could do something, why not?

I think it is a shared responsibilty. It is like asking which is more important Food, Water or Shelter for survival. They all have their place and at different times they have different importance.

It comes down to the individual marriage. With most people it works great to feel the share is 50-50. That means they view it as equal, not necessarily what it looks like to outsiders. In many cultures, though, no balance is expected. The husband may be expected to have all the responsibility or the wife may be glorified for a different type of role. Ultimately, if both the husband and wife are happy with their arrangement, I don't think you can point to which one is more "important".

i think both have equal responsibilities. A woman can bring in good income for the family and a husband can be a good house husband. It depends on the situation of the family.

I think your idea of a family life is a bit distorted. These days women work fulltime while raising kids. I think the father plays a huge role in the responsibility factor, but when it comes to the kids, the mom is always more helpful I find. They carried the child and are already quite attached, they are always on the go, and as for infants, they provide food, while the fathers arent capable of doing that. If I had to choose who has the bgiger responsibility I'd say the wife. My mom not only works a fulltime job, she has everything taken care of, supper, clothes for school/work etc..

I think it is kind of split. my husband works hard at a full time job all day but i'm here at home 24/7 taking care of our three kids. But i think he feels more of the responibility because his paycheck has to support all of us. If he werent working and making the money his is, I wouldn't be able to stay home with the kids and things would be bad.

Well it all depends on your idea of family. I am happily married and work full time for a living as does my husband. We are a couple but we are also a family. We don't have kids nor are we going to. So who would YOU say has the bigger responsibility in our family? What would you do if the woman was a managing director and the man had a much lower paid job? Would you automatically assume that the woman should give up her career and live on a very small salary just so the man could feel good and be the breadwinner?

Humm, i would say that both of them have equal responsibilities so we can term it as 50 - 50
