Let’s Celebrate Women’s Day Differently

Lets do a little calculation per month:

Morning tea/breakfast: 5,000
Cleaning/mopping: 2,000
Lunch: 8,000
Dishes: 2,000
Laundry: 2,000
Dinner: 8,000
Taking care of old age people : 10,000
Child day care work (even for your own child): 15,000

TOTAL: 52,000 /-

If a woman starts charging money for the work she is already doing without expecting anything in return, she can very well earn salary which a normal person earns while working outside for a 9-5 job.

At least their timings are fixed, work is fixed, unlike what she is doing, more than what people expect from her!

But that is rarely going to change because girls by birth are taught these things and still in this era also are EXPECTED to do this, and after managing all these errands, she is ALLOWED to work outside to work and earn. As a family now can only run if both partners are earning.

At least, we can respect for the work any homemaker is doing, irrespective of gender. We need to accept the word HOUSEHUSBANDS as normal as we are habituated to listen the word Housewife. There should not be a guilty feeling in men if they are called by this name. Accept and Grow together should be moto of any partner of this generation.

Never miss real stories from India's women.
