It is a current issue. Can a man really stay at home & take care of their children and organise the house? They can ne the best chefs in the world . Do they want to cook at home? Do you think asian man can accept it if the wife is doing better in term of earning? What are your view?

i am more for equality in all areas...ie, both have work and bring back fat checks, both share hse work, both take care of kids....really can't see myself as full time hse husband....if one has to stay home, i wld think the mrs wld be better jus on the premise that they are more natural care giver....

so, just ask from the wife, complain whole day nothing to do, then take the credit card out for a shopping binge, then come home and complain tired and ask for take-aways. watch TV at home and tell wife that if she loves you, she will employ a maid to take care of the house while i play mahjong whole day while not shopping or having my hair done or having a pedicure or facial.

hmmm...not a bad idea VC, not a bad idea at all.

I can't cook complicated dishes, only the simple ones.

As for wife earning more than me, why not? As long as I think that I am earning well, if my wife earns more than me, then that will be a bonus. Maybe can ask for some pocket money too. Muahahahaha...

VC, you know what.....not many women is suited for the job of housewife these days too. everyone wants their career, and in times like this, both partners are needed to work to support the ever escalating needs and wants. in that respect, i agree that everyone needs to do their part for the household, to keep it moving.

but i have to say, guys should help out in the chores, but the wife should mainly take care of the children, no matter what. cooking, well, if the husband can do it, good, but the wife must be able to do it. i guess i'm still old fashion and all that, but i think i will help out when i see the wife is overworked. heck, at most, just employ a weekend maid to clean up the house. other days are not too bad, since it's mainly laundry and cooking.

i still believe in the old fashion wife stay home and husband work kind of arrangements, but i'm open to changes. still, the public view on all these house husband thingy is generally bad, and though you may think otherwise, a lot of people will gossip, and it'll add extensive pressure on both parties.

Voon Chan
04-15-2005, 10:16 AM
YK, it is true. You have raise some valid points here. Our society is very old fashion in many way.

Let me tell you this. 2 years ago, I was on 2 months leave. I do what I want. In & out of the house. Visit places. People like friends & relatives commented "You don't have a job ah? Living on your wife Ah? How are you going to survive?". My answer to them was" I am jobless. Very difficult to get a job. I like to live on my wife earning. Very relax. No stress. BTw, I need to borrow a few thousand from you and I need it now". I scared the shit out of them when I mentioned money

04-15-2005, 10:47 AM
it's this generalisation that made the world think that's it the man's job to do this and that, and the women's role in the family.

however, lately, feminism, girl power has been on the rise, and metrosexual men are the IN thing now. i wonder, have you guys watch an episode of South Park where they say about the TV show, 'Queer Eyes for the Straight Guy'? it's poking fun about how the whole world in turning into gay fag due to being metrosexual and stuff. guys are not into sweating and working out and getting tough anymore. they are just interested in making themselves looking beautiful, hence my first post about house husbands doing all the things that siu lai lai does. it's meant to be sarcastic!

hard to tell whether i could cope with staying at home and looking after the kids. i like going to work. but that would be the same for the woman too. in principle, i'm happy to stay home and look after the kids, and also comfortable with my partner earning more than me, as long as she doesn't look down on me because of that and she's comfortable with earning more. whoever stays home would probably want to have some part time work after the first year and then probably more of a full time time work once the kids start going to school...

there can be a change...but the change, both partners must be willing to take...it comes back to the one line i read some where...(can't rmbr...always have amnesia la me...) women fight for equality, but then they still expect the men to be gentlemen and open the door for them....so what i'm trying to say here is, if you want equalilty, you've gotta sacrifice something...open that darn door yourself! haha


totally agreee, ath...haha

as for me, I do believe in equality...and wont usually expect doors to be opened, in fact wudnt even mind holding open a door 4 a guy

but glad to say that there r many gentleman still around, who'd be caring enuff 2 hold d door & let u go 1st, and not let it slam on ur face.. :laugh:

i dun completely agree, coz if u look around, the number of single women, or those who stay single for a longer time are on the rise :h: maybe tis shows they can hold on their own too, without a man.

anyway, no1 is a complete human being on their own...life is all about a "symbiotic" existence! Tha yin- & the yang- should coexist to strike a balance. I rest my case!!

Lilian...dun cry honey! u r still young mar....those "time-bombs" we were discussing about are not so young ppl...like my lecturer, she's middle aged, most probably menopause dee

but though i muz admit that generally, girls are more emotionally volatile...however strong & independent we choose to be. guys are oso lar...but they cover-up nicely :p

hhhmmm..reminds me of a Q i'v had in mind 4 some time...is loneliness a price to pay for independence??

it is a proven fact that women are more emotional than men. it is a heritage from nature. haha, some even says they are emotional mostly becoz of the hormonal inbalance due to the risk and effects of pregnancies. i tell you, reading that cracks me up coz i don't understand half the stuffs they're discussing.

and the quote ur talking about...well, actually, it is true for most people, and not true for the others. it's equivalent to the saying " it is lonely at the top".

this is what i have observed, and i can see it with some of the people i deal with.

single women without an active sex life tend to be grumpy old hags once they reach above 35.

anyone observed this trait??

04-17-2005, 09:55 PM
dunno about that really... single females that i work with or those that i know are all kinda around my age... a long way to go before i'd get to verify that... :p

but sometimes, yeah, i do believe it's lonely to be at the top... can raise lots of insecurities as well... just read the secrets of jin-shei (http://www.ifantabulous.com/index.php?p=59) recently... very much reflecting how life is for women in a pretty feminist sort of society, despite the setting in an ancient kingdom...

i do actually. i think women get more and more attractive as time goes by. i was at a queue going into a nightclub last night and these girls were talking to us. they were about 20 and i couldn't help but think they'll be so much more attractive in about 10 years time. it's not a looks issue, it's more what's going on in their head. women and men too, i guess, are so much more attractive as time goes by cos there's more to talk about, they are more interesting and they are comfortable with themselves. in a nutshell - less bullshit...
