Do you think that women’s attitude towards being housewives change from generation to generation?

Answer 1

Well, I think many from my generation are realizing that the "career woman" lifestyle isn't as fulfilling as they expected it to be

Answer 2

Name anything, any attitude that is not changing from generation to generation, so how can be women the exception? In many families housewives presently playing the role of both husband and wife as because husbands are coming home weekly, fortnightly monthly or even yearly because of their nature of job.
So housewives cannot remain as before, cooking cleaning giving birth to children...!

Answer 3

Yes. I think it all started mainly because of women's liberation. When we started working, it set everything in motion. Because now we almost have to work, we do and it is difficult to be a housewife in this day and age. I can't say what attitude women will have towards it in the next generation. My attitude currently is that I think there need to be more housewives/Mr. Moms or work from home moms/dads because I think children might not act as bad as they do now if people went back to having mom or dad home all day. I blame our economy.

Answer 4

Yes, women now are more motivated to get out of the house instead of being somewhat confined. Women are now more ambitious and independent. I think that it depends on the woman whether she wants to be a housewife or be a career woman. Hey lots do both just fine. With the rise in single parenthood it seems that most women do not have the option to be housewives like they didi back in the day. I guess as society changes women have to change to adapt to it as well.

Answer 5

For the most part I think it has but you still have some women who believe that they are to be housewives and take care of the kids, house, finances and everything that comes along with it....Myself, I don't need to be home to do that....

As time changes, the job of the housewife change as more and more women are entering the workforce more and more as they have to help provide or from a failed marriage...

Answer 6

Yep, nowadays it is often looked down upon when someone is a housewife. Housewives are often considered dumb or lazy by the working mothers. And will often be asked "are they going back to work soon?" Which is funny because I've met my fair share of working wives that are dumb/ can't hold a coversation with out being distracted and have their working husbands doing all the housework.

Answer 7

I agree with this. I think in the 1970s, Women's Lib surfaced. Many women didn't want to be stuck at home and donning the aprons, so they went to work. However when they went to work, they realized it was just that - work! They also realized they were not only working a job, but still doing everything around the house. The daughters of the women who did this saw what their moms went thru and said "I don't need this". Now you see more women wanting to stay home. This is a by-product of what happened.

Answer 8

Well for awhile it was all women could do. Then it was what was expected of them, but they had the choice not to be that way with opposing social pressures. Then it became undesirable and women were pressured not to be housewives, but to be people. These days the term house wife is undesirable as women are to be married to their husbands not their homes, but we're supposed to see the value of house work and staying at home to be a mother. Personally, I still think it's pathetic to be either a house wife or a stay at home mom, unless you're really geared to that amoeba sort of existance and nothing worth while.

Answer 9

I think the answer lies in HOW YOU WERE RAISED!! Children live what they've learned at home. My parents raised us to have great respect for each other with no regard to gender and to never be above helping your mate. When my Mom was sick or busy, my Dad donned an apron and treated us to his secret family recipe and when my Dad was at work, she would mow the lawn or shovel. I instilled those values into my marriage & my kids. As a result and whenever needed, my son helps me around the kitchen & my daughter helps with yard work and they don't even know what "NOT MY JOB" means.

Answer 10

It sure does. It seems to be in a swing positively in that direction at the moment. People are seeing the mess society is in, and realize that a lot of these problems crept up after the majority of women weren't stay at home moms anymore.

Answer 11

most definitely. i can tell it in my own family. my grandmother never learned to drive a car. she was home all the time for her husband and four children. she cooked and cleaned and always looked nice. very June cleaver....(leave it to beaver) my mom also had 4 children and was home until the youngest turned 11. (that's me) then she went to work. but she was more into letting us do for her and dad. she did cook and clean but not to the extent her mother did. she didn't go out of her way to primp herself for dad...and she didn't get beaten up by her husband like my grandmother did either....she was more progressive. my sister has a VERY progressive relationship with her children. she doesn't clean or cook very often she works out of the home and pretty much always has......the kids do as they please when they please and she is very focused on her new husband and how they interact as a couple.....and not as a family unit. her children were babysat by TV and video games.....they don't do things as a family. it seems as if over the years families do things for each otehr and not with each other. and today's house wife is more of a chauffeur than a wife and mother.
