If you are a man who thinks by working in a 9 to 5 job or running your own business, you have the maximum stress and burden, then you are mistaken. Why don’t you go home and have a look at your wife???

In most parts of the world in a family unit, a man is the breadwinner, while a woman looks after the household and children. A housewife is generally looked down upon as a person who is taken for granted, and a person who probably has no identity or life of her own. But if you sit down to think, a man has only one type of stress or tension and that too directly related to his work or business establishment. While a housewife is multi tasking, 24X7 non-stop without a break. If you ask a man about his wife who stays at home, you will probably get an answer such as, Well, What About Her??? She’s at home, her needs taken care of. MORE………….

Dear SUPERMAN, you are sadly mistaken, your wife and the mother of your children has a 24- hour job to do. She cooks, cleans, washes, takes care of the sick, runs errands, budgets the household expenses and doing much more than what you can do in one single day, to make your life comfortable and livable; to make you a decent man, who could look presentable when you step out of your home to go to work.

At least some of you guys have a weekend off or a Sunday off. Has anyone wondered when a housewife gets a break???? So go home all you men and show some appreciation to The WONDER WOMAN at your home, whom you have probably taken for granted for life.

I know what you mean! I see my mother slogging day in and day out. She is the one who makes home from the house we have. :)

that's really a part about which men mostly turn a blind eye. housewives keep working day and night without asking for anything in turn. she don't even complain about her own health but is always worried about family member's health. she would not sleep for nights together if something happens to her child and the other half is pretty much relaxed to see that its her job and she's doing excellently without asking her if she is tired...but still she never complain. probably that's the reason why god has gifted women with a womb to carry her baby coz men could never bear the burden of what it takes to be a mother.
women deserve all the respect.

Objections.....Are you talking about mental stress and the rude behaviour of the bosses sitting in the cabins in office? Are you talking about the targets to achieve at any cost by the end of the month? Are you talking about the preparation before asking the boss for leaves to take the family to any family celebrations? Are you talking about the stress to earn more to give wife and children a better environment to live? I am surprised you have written your opinion without writing a single line on the role of husbands in family life. You have abused all working husbands by calling them superman. This is a kind offense....A bad joke.. No one is superman but a simple human being who work hard and hard for family...

Yeah..agreed with Sumit and want to tell you the author that such kind of feminism is not accepted. I am not denying the role of women in the family. I am the firm supporter of their roles but I cannot support your wordings against working men. Not at all...and remove the image...as Sumit said..its a bad joke and a kind of offence.

dudes...plz dont forget that women too have the same kinda high-stress jobs with bosses barking up their heads... and on top of that she still has to come home and cook the dinner cz tradition demands that the family cannot be fed on what the maid has cooked... and she cant even take an evening off to go drinking with her friends to relax... if you cant see women enduring that around you i’d say you live in a part of the country with a serious sex-ratio problem!!!!

All men do have this sort of ego which hampers them from appreciating women for their contributions to the whole family. I agree that bosses and then stress is what makes a man worthy of an equal praise, but we have to admit that a woman of this century would never just stay put with her domestic chores, she has entered the corporate sector as well. So, it is a double responsibility which she has and she does it effectively!

See, I am not against woman's contributions in family life and society. I am against the author for calling all the men as 'superman'. Author criticised and questioned man's contributions in family life and it is not ok. My contributions are important than yours - it is a poor debate and you people are doing it here. The person who wants to live life with two legs in two boats, he/she faces problems. Our culture says that women can take care of family life. Now, this is up to you to decide which is important - earning money or taking care of family and kids.

Nowadays I think the Spuerman and the Superwoman concepts are fast disappearing and stress is more of a mental condition than a physical one. Nowadays spouses are having a good understanding of equality and balanced work distribution. Today if a woman is working in an office a man is also helping in changing baby nappies at home. Set let there be peace now.

even if the man and woman of the family are both working, in most cases you will find that its the woman who is ultimately responsible for arranging for meals, taking care of the babies and keeping the house in shape. women who get help from their husbands are supposed to be ’lucky’ and those men are supposed to be ’broadminded’.

I am confused. People talk about equality. Why do ’reservations’ exist then? I agree most men do not appreciate the hard work that their wives put in, but do women acknowledge the fact that men are hardworking too. It is easy for women to say ’you don’t compliment me when I look prettier than usual’, but ask yourself if you’ve EVER complimented your male partner on his looks. I agree, men have king-sized egos, but I don’t particularly remember when the fairer sex said ’hey, I think your career is important ’coz there are a million idealists who believe that a man at home is like a donkey discarded by its owner.’ Men are more likely to hear, ’you know what, I gave up my career so that you can have yours. Now, you don’t appreciate it’. Equality has a = between people and not a ’+’ for women.
