A Woman s place is in the home

A Woman’s Place Is In the Home
The saying “A Woman’s Place Is In the Home” seems extremely provokative to me. I refuse to accept this idea. I strongly believe that a woman should develop some professional skills and have a job. Anyway, the question ‘to work or not to work’ is quite often raised in many families because the issue is not so clear. In my presentation I’d like to dwell on the advantages and disadvantages of the situation in which a woman has to combine family and career.
I will start with the drawbacks the family may suffer from. I’ve singled out 5 of them.
1. It’s very hard sometimes to juggle family and career. A woman experiences lack of free time, lack of sleep which may lead to stress and problems with health.
2. A woman may start paying less attention to her husband and her children. As a consequence, they may get dissapointed, they may even feel that their wife and mother doesn’t love them any more.
3. Because of stress a woman may start pouring all her worries to her spouse thus irritating him. It may result in divorse.
4. A woman may retire into herself and her career thus provoking the possibility of adultery on her husband’s part who may seek endearment elsewhere.
5. In case a woman’s career is more successful than that of her spouse it may put a strain on the marriage. Some men just can’t put up with the fact that their wife earns more than they do.
Now I will pass to the benefits which the family may have if a woman works. I’ll mebtion 10 of them.
1. Financial aspect – more income.
2. A woman’s self-esteem and fulfillment are developed.
3. Communication with other people beyond the family circle meets social needs of a human being.
4. Family relationships become more balanced, a husband respects his wife, doesn’t reproach her. Equality.
5. A woman feels more affection and love for her family because she misses them.
6. Children become more independent with an internalized sense of responsibility.
7. A woman becomes better groomed and better dressed thus feels happier.
8. Social benefits (insurance policy, social security).
9. Financial independence. A woman becomes a productive and contributing member of the family.
10. A job generates self-discilpline, sets order in life and makes a woman a perfect time-manager.
Summing it all up I’d like to say that I’m absolutely convinced that the benefits mentioned above prevail all the disadvantages. It worths taking risks and truing at least. In my opinion a woman’s place is not only in the home because a woman is a much more talanted and gifted creature than many men believe.
