Well, I can say it's depend. If the Husband is millionaire (just kidding) perhaps his incomes are enough to pay all the house bills, foods, loans, and have extra cash to be kept in the saving accounts, the woman should consider that. But how about if the women incomes are better than their husbands. It is wise to get a person to look after their children's and/or maid to do all the housework.

However, as doha-e-b said, let the women decide.

mirzogolib, you have courage if you've started a topic like this one. I wonder how comes that the women logged on this site haven't replyed with a lot of "opposite-topic" arguments. :)) really now… it all depends on the conceptions and the mentality of each woman. I've heard cases when women were obliged by there husbands not to take a job in order to look after their kids and keeping the house clean all day long. I totally disagree with this kind of thinkings. EVERY woman should decide for herself, for her own way of living her life.

Most of these cases are seen, usually, in poor social environments. In my country, for example, (I'm not ashamed to recognise) at the countryside, in villages, most of the families living there have an education based on these precoceived ideas. But, let's hope that as the years pass, this is going to change. Let the time doing his job. Smile

I think women should have equal rights as men do.

They should have their own choices whether to stay at home or go to work to make her own dreams come true. Men and women both parties should take resposibilty to take care of children, the burden shouldn't be put on women or men's shoulders alone totally.

In Malaysia, we are difference. man and Women need each other. I doesn't matter whether women should stay at home or not but in Malaysia we have Man who stay at home, look after their children, do the housework while the women goes to work just becoz their wife have better education or maybe better luck to have a better job with high earning. For example, if the man earn RM1K and the women earns RM3K, which one you think can have better income to support the family but if they combined the income, it will become RM4K. With RM4K per month the family can pay somebody to look after their children while they went to work. It cost about less than RM500 hundred. With the balance of RM3.5K, they can do a lot for their family.

 What's wrong if the women wanted to stay at home and look after their children when she know that her husband is capable to support heir family.

maybe different country different style of living but I do believe that Man and women are equals.

It's nothing wrong with it in this case but I was talking about the prejudice (in some countries… or closer reffering, in some villages from different countries) that the woman is born to tidy the room, to look after her children ( which … guess what… they are father's as well…). You could not understand this for the simple fact that you haven't seen sth like this. But this cases does exist. Anyway, I end this reply with an optimistic mood, saying that modern times, where woman = man (reffering to the rights) are about to make their entrance. :P
