House Husbands Or Stay At Home Dads

The stigma is gone! Not only women but men too are choosing kids over career. This is no longer a new terminology but an accepted trend of modern day and age.

Do you have women working at the same level as you ??? I hear Yes… Do you have lady bosses as well?... Again a Yes, many would have.. Most of you guys would agree if we say, many women pose a better competitor to you. World is not the same as it was a century back. This is no new quote if I say “Women are at par with men today”. They have marked their presence very efficiently in this once male chauvinist society and many have been jealous  and shocked of this sudden rise while many others have applauded for this change and have taken a step forward. Let me narrate to you a short story linked to this…..

There was a guy, who was well settled as an investment banker in Hong Kong. Then one day his wife was offered a job and position better than his, as the COO of a well-known bank in India. There were two destinations and one family, the guy without second thoughts gave up his job and came back to India for his family. He willingly encouraged his wife to join, and was happy and content to stay back at home to look after the house and kids in the meanwhile. He without any jealousy or fear of being taunted by the so called society, utilized his time to think of something more creative, and focused towards building his passion of writing. He wrote a book and got it published too. Today after 8 years and many more books to add to his profile, he is still a best seller author of India. The book was Five point someone and he was Chetan Bhagat.

So, there are people who see their wives as an individual too and treat them equal. They know that women too work as hard as them or sometimes even more. The age old traditional theory of sex oriented jobs has no meaning now, men themselves are turning the scenario round the table. They are now comfortable enough in taking charge of the house, staying back and take the hold of daily house chores.

To see the other side, even men have the right to feel free, lie on the couch, order the cook for some snacks and tea, watch their favourite show, be with the kids, manage the chores and lay back, while there wives enter the corporate world and take charge of the finances. This is now being acceptable in the society, and what’s wrong if both sides are enjoying the change ! This kind of maturity and open mindedness is the need of the hour. People now should let go of the orthodox thinking and move towards more of mature act.

And as far as house husbands are concerned, hats off to them for initiating this and being the role models for many others . Let the husbands too have a dramatic life like women, why only women feel the change and take all the applauds of multitasking …**smiles**
