Role reversal

Tweet

why is it in the 21st century we are still often stuck on sterotype roling? i as a guy am a stay at home parent while my wife goes out to earn a living I am the chef , the housekeeper, the nurse(when Needed) the meal planner, the budget advisor etc. while my wife goes out to bring home the bacon. Many of my friends and people around me think its wierd for a guy to be the domestic type. Why? this is the 21st century and some people forgot that woman faught tooth and nail to have the freedom to do things equal to men such as go out to work to earn a living. As a guy i think we need to remember that not only is it important for a woman to have the skills to take on household resposibilities but its also important for a guy to have those same skills. Sometimes its actually better for a guy to stay at home and take care of the domestic sides of things while his wife goes out to work. IF its ok for a woman to go out to war and join the armed services its sure as hell ok for a guy to stay at home and take care of the home front. Its 2021 not 1921 and some people need to get with the times and im not just talking about older generations here either Some young people have the wierd idea that a guy should go out to work while the woman stay at home I stay at home and look after the house and the kids while my wife goes out and gets paid to work. I get paid too but just in a different way , i get paid in love from my kids , i get paid from my wife who greets me with a smile when she comes home from work because she doesnt have to cook or clean or answer a million questions from the kids because dad already answered them and dad already feed the kids , cleaned the house and has budgeted and planned the meals for the next coming week. Domestic chores arent valued as highly as they should be. As a stay at home parent , i appreciate what my mom did for me growing up because i understand the hard work she put in while my father was away at work. Its no walk in the park taking care of kids and looking after a home beleive me. Even though its 2021 the same things still have to be taken care of The evening meal has to be prepared , the laundry has to be taken care of , the vacuum still needs to be put over the house and the kids homework needs to be done . My two daughters even when the wife is home will come to me to help them if they have scraped their knee or to brush their hair or seek clothing tips . I want my children to realise that they can be ANYTHING they want to be , they dont have to settle with the domestics like their grandparents. With the technology of a breastpump and formula etc its now ok to leave dad at home with a new born while mom goes out to earn an income for the family, Dads need time with their kids just as much as moms do. And with dad at home they get the best of both worlds. If dad is at home they build a stronger relationship with their father which is very important for any girl. Just as its important for a child to have their mother around its just as important to have their father around. Growing up i was close to my mom , more so than my dad. My sister was closer to my dad . A strong and healthy developed son needs his mother and a strong and healthy developed daughter needs her father. A son needs to have his mother to learn compassion and how to treat his future wife A daughter needs to have her dad to learn what to look for in a loving husband . Parents are the past while children are the future and its essential they get the best from both. SO My Lot friends lets hear your thoughts
