When the division of labor between men and women in the family has changed...

In the traditional understanding of family roles, we are accustomed to the saying and practice of "men take charge of the outside and women take charge of the house". So when I see that men and women have different divisions of labor in the family, I inevitably have more opinions.

This is the situation in Uncle Liang’s family in our community. Uncle Liang has a job. He is a primary school Chinese teacher in our small town. He has a leisurely job and does not have too many chores. He does not study in the evenings. He does not hold any administrative positions in the school. This is also his character. He is unhurried and unhurried. There is no great pursuit of career.

His wife, Aunt Ping, is a hot-tempered woman. She works in sales. She is very driven by sales and even opened her own small store. She spends more time and energy on her career than Uncle Liang, and her salary is much higher than Uncle Liang. As for Uncle Liang, he pays more attention to spending time with his children and spends most of his time at home.

Over time, it has become an atypical example of "female leading the outside and male leading the interior".

When Aunt Ping was young, she focused on her work and did not have children for a long time. She gave birth to her first child when she was thirty-six years old. When the child was born, he was weak, and because the mother had no milk, he was even weaker.

Fortunately, Uncle Liang took good care of the children and was one of the rare super dads of that era.

Neighbors all laughed at Uncle Liang, "Like a bitch, he takes his children out for a walk every evening and chases after them to feed them. A man who eats soft food has a low status."

This is also the stereotype of others. Aunt Ping and Uncle Liang have always had a good relationship. Whenever Aunt Ping talks about her man to the eldest sisters and aunts in the neighborhood, she always praises her, "When you get home, you don't need me for anything." No matter, when I’m tired from work, I feel comfortable when I get home. I’ve always been worried about my child’s education. Fortunately, my child’s father is more patient than me. I’m impatient and my child is slow to answer questions, which makes me angry, but his father can endure it. I taught him little by little, and now I am in junior high school, and my grades are pretty good."

How can I put it this way, Uncle Liang is the kind of man that many men in small cities despise, but his wife is also the envy of many women.

When I was at home not long ago, I met Uncle Liang and his son on the stairs. They had just returned from a walk. They were talking and laughing. The father and son even secretly bought a cake to celebrate Aunt Ping’s birthday. , it can be seen that the family atmosphere and family education are very good.

People’s personalities are different. Men are not necessarily career-minded, and women are not necessarily unwilling to work hard outside. In this case, the division of family roles should not be limited to one model. As long as both parties have discussed it, everyone feels comfortable, and it is beneficial to the family. After all, life is lived by the family. No matter how much outsiders talk, they can't affect the life inside the house.
