Woman

Working Woman or Housewife, does the question really matter?

By Lushandra DeonisiusPublished 11 months ago 2 min read

'Woman', a word which defines care, love, and generosity; a single word which comprises the whole world but, does we care about? Ask to yourself, the value you give to the woman in your life, whether she is a homemaker or a working lady, is just that she deserves? Why has the society always created a tug of war between a housewife and a working wife? Why does she have to think if she is doing the right job? What makes her feel that it would be better if she chose the other task? Have you ever thought in this way?

A woman who is an important member of our life is juggling between her roles all through her life but still unsatisfied, do you know why? To get the answer, we need to think putting ourselves in their place. Let’s take a glimpse on what each of them has to say about the other one.

Working woman receives much respect than housewives in our society. Our family thinks of us as a burden on their income. We are seen as always sitting at home and doing almost nothing. I have to be dependent on my husband’s earning. Our work at home is taken for granted and never been appreciated. We are an unpaid full-time worker. If given a chance, I would love to do work.”

In both the above cases, do you find the ladies happy? Is she doing the work just for herself? Is it crucial for her to attend the so-called family functions? Isn’t it enough that she respects her family and is trying to give the maximum of her time? Is it necessary for a woman to cook food or if she is a housewife isn’t her work deserves appreciation?

The above verdicts clearly show that despite working so hard for the family, the women find her selves struggling to get her importance. Till now, you must have got the answer to the most widely asked questions in the world, “Who is better, a working woman or a housewife?” Well, the real answer is both are better in their respect. Where one is trying to support the family financially, the other one is making up the home by giving her time and care; where one is motivating the family by being independent, the other is raising the family with imparting good deeds and values.

They are just the two sides of a coin. They are equally important and deserve respect. We being an individual, a family or society should look through the pros and cons of both the roles and try to bridge up the gap between them. Despite comparing the two roles of a woman if we try to encourage them in their particular part, the problem will never occur. We must always support them in the character they prefer. After all, it is their life, their decision matters. And you never know the capabilities and strength of a woman. If given a chance, she could manage both the workplace and home efficiently. She does it just for you and in return demands just your love and support.

So, today, just go home, hold the hands of your lady and tell her, you are with her.
