Do you mind that your wife have a work?

i am a wife myself and my hubby never complain that i am working a full-time job... as long as i can still divide my time properly between work and housework, he is fine... i don't think that women should only stay at home and do housework nowadays as the time already changed... of course it is a different thing if she has a child... i agree that it is better for her to stay at home and take care of the child rather than to go out and work... that is of course if the economy of the family permits... take care and have a nice day...

i think it depends on both of you. If you don't have kids, I think it is practical that both of you have jobs, both of you can earn money to prepare for the future, both could have personal advancement, in your carreers eventhough married, and still enjoy other peoples company. But when you have kids, you have to start making priorities, it would be the kids or your career. I don't think it has something to do with religion itself, or sexism. Women works because, they want financial freedom, career advancement or whatever reasons they have. But more on financial thingy. I used to work full time, but since we have a baby, i totally stop to take good care of her. It has been 3 years now, miss working though, but our priorities right now is to take good care of the baby.

i heard about it, there some traditions that don't allow women to work, only men, wife must stay home and take good care of the children while the husband is in-charge to work for the living, but nowadays is different, women insist to work, but for me i rather prefer my wife to stay home and take good care of the children, because as i've notice, most of the children nowadays don't have respect to there parents, and some were leading a bad path, because both parents were busy at work and sometimes their work is brought to home to finish specially if it is deadline, now who is guiding the children? the parents don't have enough time to take good care of the children, they can't guide, some say might say they will hire a nanny to take good care of the children, but do you think it is good to let the other people take good care of your children? how do you know they guide your children and take good care of them when both of you were away is they safe? i should consider first the safety of the children.. but anyway this matter both depends on the parents..

Nowadays, its not practical for a married woman not to work if she wants it. It will also give her time for herself, more self esteem, still be sociable and have friends. And ofcourse, it will definitely help you financially.

I am a wife and I will fight for my right to work. Even just at home. That is why I put up a small business. Working mom is a necessity nowadays especially life is hard and expenses are shooting up. A working mom is a big help for a dad who also spend their whole life working.

I am a wife and a mother of 2 who has not been without a job since I was 16 years old. My husband and I both have to work to make the ends meet. If I had the choice I would definitely stay home with my kids. I don't why people still look down on housewifes. Contrary to what people might think, it's a full time job running a household. Although I would like to stay at home, I would still want to have income coming in. I'm not really comfortable with getting an "allowance" from my husband. I need my own pocket change that I can go do my own thing with. I'm a realist who always believes in having a stash because you never know what can happen.

I think this position has been covered, but I believe that whether a woman (or man, for that matter) works outside her home is between she and her husband. I have a university degree with some graduate coursework, and I worked full-time while I was single. Now, I am a homemaker/stay-at-home stepmom with my first living biological child on the way. If finances required it, I would certainly work outside the home - and my husband supports that. As it is, we don't live an 'affluent' lifestyle, but we are very comfortable - in part because I have time to devote to managing our money. This includes such tasks as menu planning (and then following through), sale shopping, and scanning the newspaper for unique low-cost family outings; all have an impact on the budget. While we don't always want to admit it, men and women are physically different and deals with different physical issues. This was never an issue while I was working outside the home, but in the first trimester of my pregnancies, I was SO grateful that I didn't have a fulltime job outside my home! I was able to take far more effective physical care of myself - and therefore, my family - than if I'd had that obligation on my time and energy. I do not feel 'oppressed' or 'understimulated.' I continue to read documents relevant to my professional field, and occassionally do a bit of pro bono/volunteer work when asked - when it won't have a negative impact on my family. I wouldn't mind working in my field again one day, but I don't*have* to work outside my home to feel fulfilled or good about myself. This may not be too popular, but I truly belive far more people*think* they need two incomes than*actually* need two incomes. It's well-established that when two parents work outside the home, expenses are*typically* significantly higher - higher taxes, extra clothes, far more convenience food or take-out, more lunches out, possibly child care or even having someone in to help clean the house. The net result is that the lower-income spouse may be working 40 hours (or more) a week to bring home a net income of 3k, 4k, or 5k a year...or even less. This is absolutely fine - but women in this situation need to be honest - at least with themselves - about working because they*want* to, rather than because they*need* to. Even in a society (I live in Canada, grew up in the U.S.) that is so supportive of women working, I think there is a stigma - for mothers in particular - about admitting that one*wants* to work outside the home. So...bottom line, I don't work outside my home. I am happy and content in my role, and it's not because I don't know about 'the ways of the world.' My husband, seeing the finances work well even with one income, fullly supports this - while it's not the only thing, he would miss the consistently home-cooked meals! However, this is a decision that a husband and wife need to make together - it's probably one of those things that should be discussed before one marries another. Spouses don't have to agree on every little thing - in fact, they probably shouldn't - but this seems to me an issue significant enough to be addressed early on - especially if one or both spouses have strong feeling one way or the other. Doesn't mean one or both minds might not change later (e.g., after kids are in the picture), but it should be addressed. Ideally, both spouses should come to a place of either compromise being able to support whatever decision (mutually) made. ~SaraCate

[i]Hi neul, Your wife is correct! In this time, we need to work hand in hand to live comfortably as well as prepare for our future and for the kids! DOn't feel bad about it, if your wife loves and enjoys what is she doing, then let her be! I am a wife too and I had a great job before marriage and now after havnig 6 months jobless, I am looking forward to be employed because I am also bored staying in the house whole day, I want to have my own income and save for future, help for bills as well as save for trips![/i]

Hi friend, Today both should work other wise we can't get necessary things as which we want to buy.There is no need to put religion in doing a good thing.No stop her in doing the work,encourage her in doing the job so that in future it will be really a plus point for you. Have a nice day.

Staying at home to look after the kids and take care of the house is work. In fact, a woman who is a stay at home mom has the equivalent of several jobs. I don't mind my wife working. Whether she does the work of looking after the kids and the house or her other work, it all contributes to helping the household as a whole. It is important for her o feel that what she does is worthwhile and that she enjoys it. i support her on that.

americans and christians feel that a woman hasjust as much right as men do to work and in a lot of homes now with the economy so bad they have to have two paychecks. we here in the US belive that women are not second class citizens to be kept barefoot and pregnant, they are equal to men, and are helpmeets. we do not feel this is wrong at all.And by the way mr Islam what makes you think a woman doing housework and childcare and cooking and cleaning does not work shame on you

You are lucky man that though you have good job and good income to manage the family and home but your wife want to supplement the family income by doing some job. I think there is no harm in it if she get some respectable job in some corporate office. It is safe and respectable. Both you can mutually decide. Please comment and have a nice day.

A woman who stays at home and cares for her husband, the children and the house is working just as much as the woman who goes to an office every day. However, there are some women who do better getting out of the house. My mother as told me that it was best, when she was growing up, that her mother worked outside of the house. Though she was a good housekeeper and cook, her passion was office work. She would have been frustrated and she would have made life miserable for her children if she'd stayed at home all day. Your wife is correct, there are some jobs that are better suited for women, just as there are some better suited for men.

Well I'm an at home mom with 5 children. I stay home because child care would be way to expensive if I worked. We worked it out and if I went to work all my money and then some of my husbands would go to a day care facility. I have been doing this for 3 years now, and I don't mind I kind of like it. I make money online doing odd things here and there. i used to work and my husband stayed home with the kids, I had a better job then he did. I think it's whatever the woman wants to do. Also I know just as much about society as I did when I worked, I don't think that makes a bit of difference.

My wife is working and I don't mind about it. In fact to survice as a mean of income her job is necessary for us. There is another aspect of it. If the women are to stay at home then they will less learn about the society. When they go to work they learn the society which is important in today's context. My mother doesn't go to work. My wife does. My wife knows more about the society than my mother.

I thought you are going to get married in a few months.. so is this wife of yours, another one? to answer your question it really depends, if you can sustain your everyday expenses without your wife having to work then it is better for the wife not to work, but she insist on working and thinks that she would develop more if she will work then let her be.

hey, i dont mind my wife working, There nuthing to do with religion these days. wat wrong if she is a isam women, these day women are different, they want to work,ear money,get elevated higher positions, they amlmost equally compete with men. religion has got nuthing to do with her job. it all depends on relation between u and ur wife. if u start respecting each other ideas, there will be no problem..
