Women play a significant role as wife, mother etc and they are also known for their multi-tasking i.e they have an ability to do various tasks at one time. They could be seen working somewhere and at the same time taking care of their family.
Most women are career women (working mothers) due to the economy crunch of today. They have started supporting their family and are no more dependent on the man in the family. They have taken upon themselves,not just due to bad economy, but because they are smart enough to find their place in the competitive world.
In contrast, some women are housewives, because they believe they have a vital responsibility at home that they cannot fulfill if they have to leave house for work.
Of course,being a career woman puts a woman on her feet.It gives a sigh of relief that you do not have to fear if tomorrow your husband leaves you,because you would be capable enough to take care of your children and yourself.You will live confidently compared to other mums who are just housewives.
“Working woman will feel guilty because she is not giving quality time to her family,all in the name of making money to support”,an housewife would say.”Many marriages end up in divorce because of an imbalance created by working outside.Your relationship with your husband may go sour,because you are not always present when he wanted”,another housewife would say.
The life of a working woman is full of exuberance.Daily,they have something new to do and they feel very excited about it unlike the housewife who has a very little piece of work to do and after doing that,they start getting bored.
A career woman would say,”As a working woman,your husband’s attitude towards you will be completely different,in fact,not just your husband,but other members in your family like father-in-law or mother-in-law will also give value to you.And this will really boost your morale”
In the case of not getting bored while doing work,research shows that working women have to bear so much stress because they have to juggle between two jobs.They have to look after their family and at the same time keep their job.Therefore,there is need to maintain a balance between the two.Fatigue will come in when they have to perform well at both places.However,most of the career women are able to manage it because of their capability of “multi-tasking”.
Most working mothers have to face some kind of harassment at their work place,which is a common thing.This could be from teasing to sexual harassment.They have to go through this on daily basis.While,on the other hand,housewives do not have to face all of this.
Any form of harassment could dent the woman’s MORALE and could leave her in PERMANENT DEPRESSION.
For housewives,being at home gives them ample time to spend with their child(ren),especially their studies.At a particular age,it is important for a mother to mentor her child(ren).Being a housewife,you will give more attention to your kid’s weak areas and hone up the strengths.In short,a mother’s involvement in her child(ren)’s studies will help the child to get best support from her and clarify the doubts and weak areas.
Research shows that most of the middle age working women are suffering with one or more diseases,such as diabetes,cervical,thyroid,hypertension,back pain etc.
A housewife’s opinion would be,”If you stay at home,you get more time to take care of your health.The fatigue of work stress,fulfilling deadlines,commuting to and fro do bring up the stress levels.If the lady of the house is less stressed out,everyone in the house will be less stressed out.
So,it is up to women and how they are able to adjust their life.Being a housewife or a working class woman is not the most important thing,but the most important thing is doing the right thing at right time and being happy with yourself and your family.
