what is the advantage and disadvantage of working women & house wife?

Answer 1

What is an advantage for one type is disadvantage for another. These are just the two sides of a coin. You cannot have the whole world.

Answer 2

1 Incorrect... Since my girlfriend was moved in with me, I get much more sex than I ever did when I was single. And youth does not equal beauty.... #2 Married men have the joy of having kids. I don't have any myself yet, but I want to one day. #3 It is true that married men have a 50% chance of being divorced, but they also have a 50% chance of staying together and being in a happy relationship. #4 True #5 More of a statement for Fathers... Chances are 1 of the 2 in a marriage will be the big bread winner and if a more lucrative job/opportunity comes up, your significant other wouldn't have a problem with relocating. Advantages. (At least for me) 1. See #1 above 2. I don't have to do laundry, cook for myself, clean the house on my own anymore. 3. I can afford more "toys" to play around with. (Bigger tele, quad, eventually a boat) 4. My bathroom isn't scary to into anymore. 5. I don't ever have to spend a night alone. I don't feel making a long list. The thing to remember is, marriage isn't for everyone mate. It's all about your attitude towards it. If you think its a bad idea then its probably going to be a bad idea for you.

Answer 3

the big qualifier here is:

kids

one parent at home is a must if you have kids. It doesn't matter which one, as long as it is one of the parents. not a nanny, or baby sitter, or mother or mother in law.

If the mother has the better job then she should work, and visa versa. In today's world ego can be put on the back burner. (the man is the breadwinner. men work and women do HOUSEwork and all that crap).

the advantage to a house wife and children? You KNOW what your kids are doing, every day. Where they are, who they're with....

added:

I find it interesting that working women are so selfish. many of them mention "financial independence" as if they money they earn is THEIRS and the money the man earns is household money.

being a stay at home mom IS as easy as I said. what it calls for is sacrifice. no plasma TV in the bedroom. No Escalade, no cell phone, or other extravagances that many people feel they deserve. Having children requires sacrifice both personal and financial.

Answer 4

I was a house wife until a few months ago when I returned to work a part time job after not working for 2.5 yrs. I loved being a housewife!! The only problems I had was the lack of contact with the adult world. I lost myself as a person but I think that is pretty normal after childbirth. I did go back to college. I noticed that my son behavior has gotten worse since my return to work. He feels neglected as far as the time I am able to spend with him and I feel horrible for not being able to spend that extra time with him. So much in our society is focused on what you do as a career and when you tell people you are a house wife or a homemaker they treat you like you are lazy or that you are lacking in intelligence. That is not the case. I chose to give up somethings for what I consider to be for the betterment of my son. He needs me there to teach him how to treat a woman and how to be a man of honor and high character. A woman that works outside the home pulls a double shift. Yes she gets off at 5 but she goes home to care for her family and hopefully she is blessed to have a very supportive spouse that will help her in her extra duties.

Answer 5

I am going to begin my response by saying I feel I am very qualified to answer this question as I have been both a stay-at-mom and a working mother. Unfortunately, it's not as cut and dried as your first responder claims. Yes, if you can afford it there is nothing better for the kids than for them to have a parent at home with them all the time. But in today's world, many families need two incomes in order to keep a roof over those children's heads, feed them and give them the things they need. As for the advantages of working, you have financial independence, the family may be able to have some extras (vacations, movies, etc.) that otherwise they might not be able to afford. As for disadvantages, missing school field trips, having difficulty finding appropriate childcare, having to call in sick when you have a sick child are a few that come to mind quickly. As for staying at home, the "job" of stay-at-home parent is the most important job in the world and the most rewarding. You're always available for the school functions, you don't have to worry about childcare and you are always around to care for a sick child. As for disadvantages, you can lose a part of "you" (this happened to me), if you're in a bad marriage not having financial independence (in many cases) bounds you to a bad situation, and those little extras that make life fun (vacations, etc.) sometimes are financially out of reach. The bottom line is this: parents need to do what they feel is the best thing for their individual situation. I was home with my children for almost 5 years and for that I am very grateful. We managed to get by, my husband would pick up an overtime shift when he could, but money was very tight at times. But after they all got school age, I felt like part of me was dead and I longed to have my independence, to go out in the world and meet people and have adult conversations and having the extra $$ to be much more confortable was a very attractive incentive. So I went back about 1 1/2 years ago, I haven't regretted going back for one minute and my family has adjusted very nicely.

Answer 6

Put simply, there are several and yet none for each of the two classifications that You have listed. The advantages/disadvantages can only truly be calculated by the individual. No one else has the perquisite information and experiences of another's life to pass comment.

Answer 7

The biggest advantage a working women has that she is independent. If anytime she goes through a bad patch or anything she has always her job to support her and her children. she doesn't need to ask for help or depend on someone else. she becomes self sufficient . By working she gets her freedom as well as her independence whereas in a housewife though she is also working she is not paid fr the work she does as it is considered her duty to do the house work. She doesn't get the freedom and also is dependent on her husband or someone else for her needs. She has to keep asking for help if in trouble or any calamities befall her. Yes, the biggest advantage in a housewife is that she gets quality time to spend with her family and children. She looks after her children studies and also keep a watch on whatever they do, their friends etc. So u see a housewife sacrifices her independence, career etc whereas a working woman though she has her career and independence she looses out on being with her family and specially her children, their growth and their everyday life.

Answer 8

working women = your own money that you earned and feel great about it. You can buy yourself and expensive lipstick or hat and not feel guilty or like you have to explain yourself. No matter how "His money is your money", it really isn't the same as when you earn as well.

Housewife= Can get boring after a few years. You can only clean so much. You can only create so many recipes and sooner or later there are no more diapers to change or kids to usher to school because they grow up and go off on their own. You do have run of your own life though and you can do with your day what you choose besides the cleaning and cooking part.
