Second Shift

A Womans Work Is Never Done Traditionally men worked and brought family line the bacon sequence women stayed home and took misgiving of the children and the home. This changed when the new liberated independent women became driven towards acquiring a career, caring for the children and balancing domestic work. Thus women started to complain about universe exhausted from working, multi-tasking, and solely taking care of the house-hold, while their husbands worked and bring forth a paycheck and think that is efficient enough and his job is pretty very much done. I definitely concur with The Second Shift because this es narrate most women can really relate to, including me. It filters the contribution of what the husband brings to the house-hold versus the woman. It makes me ponder about wherefore our husbands are letting us be come out husbands. The author, Ariel Hochschild demonstrates keen examples and stated factual enquiry from her findings on the percentages of husbands tha t said they should serve up out around the house and the ones that rattling did, and furious Wives who not only had to work an eight hour shift but also took care of the house-hold duties and tended to the children.From the authors eight year research she concluded that failed marriages were not due to alcohol, physical and or mental abuse, infidelity, or financial problems, but due to the lack of domestic assistance from the husband. Men say that they want a woman to build with but why is she building alone while he frolics in the sun. If wives work a nine to vanadium just like their husbands then the husband should be just as domesticated as his wife. Times have changed and women are not succumbing to the position of home maker anymore. Now a days women are solid with a get word charge personality which most men are phantasy of.But even the most resilient woman can crumble after a hard day of work and then to come home to a husband watching sports while she has to cook, clean , tend to the kids, grocery shopping, schools visits, do the laundry, maintain doctors appointment and still have a whooping sexual thirst at the end of the night is just out right preposterous. Every house-hold, family, and situation is different therefore if both partners work then both partners should come to a mutual understanding based on each others schedule and split the domestic work evenly.A wife working is of grand assistance to her husband financially, so like the old saying goes I scratch your back and you scratch mine. The husbands pay bills in the home and guess what, so goes the wife. They both occupy the same house, so why is the wife doing all the domestic work by herself? By all means the husband should help out in the house a lot more, but let us take a walk down the American road for a second to decipher what could possibly help this problem.If America were concerned with the hindrance that the broken home poses on its citizens the government would offer a help ing kick in to families, As far as funding programs to offer low costing or free child care, offer family assistance to families that make a small-minded bit above the poverty margin, offer in home cleaning for families with more than one child or any assistance that could alleviate the mark on the woman financially, mentally and physically While bringing the family structure together and keeping it that way.Who would turn this proposal down if it were given? This help would impart to wives spending more quality time with the kids and the husband. Families could do what they should do enjoy and spend time together with mom not worrying about what jostle grease is ahead of her. A non-frazzled woman equals a euphoric home. Switzerland government offers a system very close to this, even in England and Canada health care is free, and these countries are not as rich and advanced as America. In my opinion America will only help out if you are literally a bum on the street.If families make more than the marginal poverty line annually then forget about it. America could take a lesson or two from these countries. This sociological and economical methodology could move society on a whole towards a better functionality. Hence this material body of help is like a domino effect in that it would not only help out families, but there will be an abundant percentage drop in divorces, mental illness, teen crimes, parent absence, child neglect and single mothers raising children.In essence, having a family and a beautiful home is a gift from god and should not be classified as the Second Shift therefore the husbands should step up and assist their wives around the house perfunctory so she does not have to feel this way. He too should have an idea of what it is like to arrive home from work and still have to work. He should have a very vivid idea of what it is like to work all day without any sleep prior to the night before, pick up each child from daycare, cook, clean, s hopping and tend to the kids etc. And let us see how he holds up.This domestic conflict between husbands and wives has been going on eld now, and based on Ms. Hochscilds studies from 1960s to the 1970s women worked fifteen more hours each week than men. Over a year women worked an extra month of xx four hour days. Over a dozen years, it was an extra year of twenty four hour days. Can you believe this? , Women working more hours than men. Woman I have to credit you because you are so strong, for centuries you bore the struggles of society/mankind in your womb and now you have placed it on your backs.
