After few hard days at office some of our friends decided to go out for a weekend trip to the hills. It was a welcome change for all of us, a way to escape the stressful life for at least few days. As we were travelling a friend who is a house wife recently told me some of the disadvantages she is facing in order to play her role. Her independence is at stake. She is expected to do all the household chores starting from getting up as early as 5 a.m in the morning and continue to work till she hit the bed to wake up again the next morning. The financial independence is totally lost as her husband is constantly asking the reason for all her expenditures.
The signs, though common for many of our lives yet the question is when she is a full time home maker what makes her separate from any full time employed wife. After all she too puts on hard work in every household things that need to be done, starting from cooking,dusting,washing etc etc etc. Still his husband feels a lil complex when it comes to comparing with other friend's wives. I dont want to delve deep into debate or anything, but in this current situation cant men be more sympathetic towards their partners who are kept on their toes constantly so that he can have a better home to live. Men can shed off the taboo that working women are more superior. There are many who are pathetic at both the places be it office or home. Thus when that friend uttered a question "So what I dont work in an office, does that make me anything less than I ought to be?" I had nothing but silence as an answer.

Work is worship, whatever it be. The work of a housewife, or I would prefer to say 'homemaker' is far more important and respectful for it keeps a family going:a home without a homemaker loses all its charm. The well being of all the members of a family depend on the homemaker.
