do you no your roll in life (36)

Im gonna catch crap for this one but I would like to know what peaple think of rolls in relationships in the old days man would work and wife would stay home with the kids do you think this is right or wrong? I myself think this was a good way of doing thing but men today dont give the woman any respect for what they do at home and take them for ganted but this is just my 2 cents

My role in life is to be myself.

Each person should be allowed to choose what's best for them not be obligated. If you want to work,work if u want to stay home,stay home.It's a personal choice as I see it.

Gotta have a lot to do with finances as well. When I grew up my dad worked and my mom raised 6 kids and so did everyone else in my home town. Now it's so damn expensive to raise kids and find housing big enough for a large family that it's pretty tough to do that all on one salary.

As far as taking women for granted, everyone is a but different on this topic. Men are taken for granted a lot as well. However, a working mom should get help at home from her working husband and many do. The rest end up here

your talking the old days. What happened then is not happening now. I think it is up to each individual relationship.
Times change, you have to adapt. I think it is good if a partner helps out financially but i also belive both partners should share in the home maitneance and children raising.
So my answer would be no. I do not like the older traditional way of how things were done and i am glad to see times have changed so relationships are more equal and duties both in the home and outside the home are more balanced as well.

Human beings are in a constant flux of changing roles....depending on your life circumstance....just ask anyone who is a parent...(not that I am one but I know plenty who are)....and in each of the roles in our life...we have people. who have expectations of us in those roles....I don't think we can compare the past with now..and the demands are sooo much different now......my roles vary from professional clinician, sister, friend , auntie( huge time commitment) and believe it or not a doggy-auntie....NO it's not what you are thinking ,niece, volunteer....and on and on......ok I am officially rambling now...PMS is here

From observing friends and family i know that many men, in this day and age, don't contribute much to the daily chores at home. Some think that their work is done at the moment they walk in the door.
But yet the mother is on call 24/7. I have seen a report on tv that a mother should be paid $150 000 a year if a salary was to be paid.
Yes it is great that times have changed and both are given the opportunity to chose what they want to do in their life but then on the other hand the partner should also be aware of his duties at home.
Because as long as you do have children in my opinion both parents are on call 24/7 not just one of them.
It took two to make the kids i think it takes two to raise them as well and provide for them.

ok I relize i a perfect world but if it were I would prefer the traditional ways me my self when I decide to have kids I would prefer at least one of his or her parents to be around them for more then a coulpe hours a day and as for the money thing I would just do what I had to to make ends meet

When my late hubby was around, i was a stay at home mom and housewife. I loved it.

Watching my kids grow and taking care of the family brought me alot of joy but things have changed drastically for me, i now HAVE to work to support my kids.

I think kids need 1 parent at home.

just my 2 cents
