About time i talked about a womans issue which i perceive as very common and the most important nowadays.
The role of a mother and a wife combined with being a career woman can be a really tough task and i realized this after observing these ladies !!!!
What adjustments could be made from the male gender side to make atleast their life a little more amangable and for these women to have a beleif that there men are supportive????

a man that is willing to share all the responsibilities associated with raising a family, to divide the work as well as the pleasures in an equitable fashion. No man was ever shot or yelled at when he was doing the dishes.....it is a trite quote, but it is true none the less.

Men could play an equal role in the home and stop expecting women to shoulder the entire burden. This is the greatest thing they can do. Also, employers (many of whom are male) might want to consider on-site day care for parenting workers.

Although I see a lot of women answering with the claim they want the man to do more in the home, I can say from my time as a SAHD that it is not appreciated by the women.
The dishes are never done to her standards, or stacked wrong, the laundry is folded wrong (not bad, just 'wrong'), the cleaning isn't to her standard, you don't make enough money, and so on... and so on.
So, before men can simply get up and do everything spick 'n' span to help 'womens issues' (or as it seems, 'family' issues) - the women should focus on dropping the lace curtain and keeping maternal gatekeeping up and allow their men to dig their heels in to it, without constant harassment and insults just because it is "not good enough" in her opinion.
Once men can feel more comfortable performing in these roles, without ridicule or shame, they will undoubtedly do their best to help out. If they're confronted with endless bashing - they wlil lose confidence and will power to bother trying to help out in the home.
So women - if you want your guy to help 'more', get off his case, and help him instead of whining.

with both parents working its not fair that women are expected to do all the housework and mothering. if both parents work, then home responsibilities should be split evenly.

You are so sweet.
Hold a class for other men and teach them about this very important issue.
That would help greatly.

These ladies should protest the feminist movement.
