Can househusband replace housewife? This is the thought for
many people when they see a man doing house chores and raising the kids while
their partner goes to earn the family income. It is best to describe
househusband as a man who stays at home and clean the house, taking care the
children while his wife goes to work to earn money for the family. There are
lots of question occurs in the society when they sees them which are, “why can
he let his wife working while he stays at home? how can he replace the women
responsibilities? “.
In my opinion, being a househusband is actually a tough job
for a man. Where, a job that can be done without a doubt from a woman. This is
because the tasks in the house would never stop even it is time to sleep
especially for children case. A man would ask his wife to get up from sleep in
the early morning to look up the child and that’s natural. Society would affirm
that there is something wrong with the man which his wife is making more money
for the family living. Either he is incapable to work or feels that it is not
his responsible.
In sensitivity manner, masculine identity of the man, how to
tell this. This becomes shaky when the wife is doing all the husband
responsibility. This condition may equalize, if not overrun, male superiority,
power, and authority.
