I think women. They are mothers, taxi drivers, housekeepers, babysitting, wives, nurses, etc. and that's besides if they work, too. What do you think?

I think it is women without a doubt. There is a saying: A man works from sun to sun, But a womans work is never done. This is so true, I mean I would love to go to work 9 - 5 then come home and sit on my butt and watch tv, or play video games, etc...whatever it is that relaxes you....but I never get that chance, I work from the time I get up at 7 am to the time I finally lay down in my room to watch tv which is normally around 10 pm. It is neverending, the responsibilities a woman has.

I definitely think women have more roles to play. They have to be a 'housewife', they have to hold down a job, they have to play mommy all day, and they have to fix dinner and everything else.

Women. Hands down. I'm the mother, the wife, an employee, plus I have my own business too, taxi driver, homework helper, laundrymat lady, cook, housekeeper, errand runner, bill payer... Thats all I can think of at the moment. And my husband doesn't understand why I don't want to go work out at the gym every night for an hour. (During the time I usually cook supper).

No wonder you are so tired. You are a very busy woman.

We women tend to be multitaskers. Men are very focused as a rule. True we can label all the things we can do. Have we really tried to label the mens duties? If only we could be paid for these titled jobs as we do them. The role of mother would become a much sought after job.

Women. We are mothers, work to earn money, do the house work and yet we also have to take care of ourselves. We really are multitaskers.

I don't go out to work, either. But I do my cleaning, cooking, take my daughter to college, shopping, laundry, etc.

I was watching the "Strictly Dr. Drew" show and he was explaining about how men and women are different. Apperently the female chomozones are made up of the XX chrom. which the x chrom. is very diverse. it is huge and has alot of different possibilities. And the men are made up of the XY Chrom. the Y chromozone aparently is defective and in other words "doesn't work". ha haha. So that is why men are almost all alike. They only have one working chromozone. It also makes them only be able to use one side of their brain at one time. And women can easily use both sides at the same time. This is why women can feel something and express it at the same time, "using both sides" and when men feel something they cannot access the other side to express it as well. So that is why they may seem so closed and are incapable of expressing their feelings when they feel it. Give them about 7 hours later then they will be able to express it .. And by then the woman are already over it. It all makes the woman more complex and the men cannot comprehend what the women are talking about half the time. They just nod and are trying to figure it out. haha. Most of the time men think us women are just plain crazy. They just cannot understand us. How we live together is beyond me. We are like two different species altogether. Also men are bigger then women because they have testostrome which pumps through their blood and their blood vessels must be larger to compensate the flowing chemicals. Women have estrogen which makes the moods fluxuate more espically when going through menopause. this is weird huh? so when you get mad at your man for not responding to you or not giving you what you want it is because he has no idea that is what you want or has no clue what the hell you are talking about. And men, when your woman goes on a tangent about something that seems crazy she is probablly mad about something else entirely and is trying to bond with you. She is acting out her feelings in a way that you just dont understand. Most of the time she wants you to communicate with her. Hope this helps you, it has helped me so much

also. because women can use both sides of the brain at the same time it makes them able to multitask so much more efficiently then men can.

Now I understand! So we are more capable than men to do many things at the same time. This is interesting. Thank you for your explanation.

I think there are an equal number of jobs that people can perform not based on gender that both can do. I think also that there are gender specific roles that cant be changed. I think that both can be the chauffer housekeeper babysitter coach nurse confidant educator mechanic carpenter mason etc... we dont need to start a struggle with sterotypes we just need to applaud all that people do to survive and make the home or community work for all of us. If we start to point fingers we are causing dissention which the world has no need of additionally. Please put effort into making society a better place and not harangue the value of any member of it needlessly.

You are right, roles can be performed by either one if you have the skills to do them. I have seen men taken the roles of being a parent and performing many roles in life.

I think it's not important to think who does more or who does less. When in a family, couples should share responsibilities and it is important to remember to be sensitive about each role that one plays in the family. I believe in team effort and everyone should participate. When one does the work all the time, he or she will later be burnt out.

I believe the same too. But I've seen women who struggle more to make all her chores and men don't help out not even to pick up their plates or underwear.

I think we both have important roles to fill whether it be a mother taking care of her children and the household, while the husband works to put food on the table, clothing on our backs and a roof over our heads. Both are equally important.

I know both roles are very important but I think men should help in the house too.

The mother always has something to do and the husband helps but not as much as we want them to help out.

Mothers who are taking care of their children and home are definitelly "heads of the houses"! No matter if their husbands are the ones who are making money. Those who are not about to become mothers yet are usually making more efforts in htheir professions.

i think there is no doubt you are right, its women. As primary care givers we have to adapt to prevailing situations. We tend to be responsive while the male plays a much more pro active role blessed be

In my case, both my husband and I share equal roles. I tend to the children and the house while my husband is out working. His job is not easy either. Like he needs to travel around the country most of the time. Sometimes, we will argue about who does more roles in the family.

As long as both agree and think you are doing equal roles, then there is no problem at all.

Well the way I think people are all equal in opportunity. It really don't matter if you a man or a women. Even a man can be a mother. And a good one. It's has to do with the vocation a person have to do the job.

I really don't doubt that men can perform a good job as a father and househusband? It all matters that both of them agree.
