Working class wives or Full Housewives.

The full housewife is said to be more responsible  for their children and home because they are always there for there to put things right. They are always available for everything that happens around their kids. They know when their children are sick and when to administer drugs, when a child is hungry and time to feed them, what to teach their children and what not to teach, and have more time to take care of the home. The full housewife children see their mothers as their close friends and role models. Also, to many some people, the responsibilities of a full housewife is more than that of their working class counterparts they are always busy from morning till midnight or the next day.

On the other hand, most people see the working class wife as the more responsible one.It is the belief of some men that only a lazy woman sits in the house and expects her husband to bring food. Gone are the days that our grandfathers go to the farm to plant and harvest while our mothers sit back to take care of the home. The economy of some countries has made most men to underrate the  responsibilities of a full housewives. Even some men prefer to leave in dirty houses or employ a nanny 4 their children. All they want is for their wives to go out work and bring in money.

My opinion is this, every woman should be busy. If you prefer an office work, its good but if you see yourself as a business person, it's also good. In all, women should keep themselves busy. This is 21st century, no man wants to marry or keep a liability in the house. There are so many responsibilities our husbands face on daily basis. There is house rent to pay, utility bills, school fees, care of oneself e.t.c. If only a man carries all these responsibilities, he becomes unhappy with himself (not all men), and sees you as a barrier to his progress because he cannot save like Mr A whose wife is a banker and supports her husband.

Also, it's not everything you want to buy that you run to your hubby. It is very good to take up some responsibilities in the home. It makes your hubby value you better and sees you as someone who is independent. Sometimes, you can just surprise your hubby by paying the children's school fees or plan and pay for the family vacation. There are also little things you can fix in your home like fixing the tap when it's bad, buying clothes for the kids, cooking

It's just my opinion, but wives in the house,  what do you think.
