Men as bread winner and the women are the housekeeper

I know this is a very old fashioned attitude in this modern age, but my husband and I believe that way and live that way. He is the head of the household, the bread winner, and as we jokingly call him "The King". I am the housekeeper, the main cook (he does the bbq's), and the organizer. We pay the bills together, but he writes out all the checks, and basically controls the money. He is very generous, and I get money if I ask for it. Our marriage works this way, and I don't believe it would work any other way. We are happy.

I still do and that's my ideal role in my family, but it depends on the situation. If the other is more functioning better on that area, he or she should be in that place. If you have bigger needs, both should work together to keep the family alive. Time adjustment and time scheduling should be considered.

I am not sure I belive this but have been forced into this situation due to my disability I manage the home all day but take pride in it since I cannot work outside of home He brings home the money -- so it makes him the breadwinner

I still believe in this... And it makes perfect sense if you have children as it is the role of the mother to stay home and look after them. Women are far better at looking after children as they have the natural instinct to do so. What is different these days... is that in many cases, the salary of the man only... is not sufficient to live confortably and buy your own home. Many couples delay having children so that they can both work. I don't believe that it is the right thing to do... when people put their children in a day care center in order to keep on working. Children needs their mother to educate them. It is said that you are... what you have been taught before the age of 5. If the children are being taught by a day care center instead of being taught by their parents... they will not have much in common with you in later life.

I think it depends on the situation. Before my son was born, my husband and I both worked outside of the home. We shared in housework responsibilities pretty equally too. While I was pregnant with my son, however, I developed some major back issues that still exist. I stay home with my son during the week and work on Saturdays. My husband works Monday-Friday so he brings in most of the money. But he still helps a lot around the house. He is the one that actually washes and dries the clothes (I fold them and hang them up, he puts them in bottom drawers if thats where they go). He is also the one that loads and unloads the dishwasher. We're trying to put off the back surgery until after we are done having kids since that is what my doctor reccomends. And the easiest way to do that is to keep from bending over and standing back up a bunch of times in a row. I do most of the other cleaning around the house, though. I do the grocery shopping (once again he helps put away stuff that goes down low) and I do the majority of the cooking. I also do most of the care for our son. We make all of our financial decisions together. We each keep track of what the other is spending so that we can keep it all under control. He is actually the one that pays the bills but I know exactly how much goes to each company and when.

i don't believe in this because nowadays men and women are equal...they say that men are breadwinner because they are the one who work for his family and the women are the one who knows the household chores especially in budgeting of money...however, it also depends on the agreement of the couples...

yes i believe in this for some extent but i think we need to give freedom for women to work as lots of hidden talent would come out to the world which we surely miss it if we dont, comment on this, thank you

yes i believe what you have said, thats what is in the indian culture, but i do give freedom for women for work if they want because lots of talent of women are still hiden and if they dont work i think the world is losing so much

No I do not believe in that way at all. My husband is the works and makes the bulk of our needs. But I do stay home take care of the kids, work part time from home and I am the one that takes care of the bills etc.

i dont believe in this. its not true day. today women plays both roles of bread winner and house keeper. but men today also are only bread winner. women are multi tasking and they can take care of both house and job. i can tell you this on my own experience i cook in the morning pak tiffen for my husband and even cook dinner. so i am busy the whole day from morning till night. its raely my husband cooks.

Women nowadays used to earn a living especially career women, its a good thing that working mothers should help their husband for the welfare of their children and for their daily needs...

No, I don't actually believe in that. I believe that men and women have the sme capabilities. Men can do women's chores/works, and vice versa.

My boyfriend and father still believe in that. And that's my boyfriend's plan with me when we get married.

It depends... I'am fine with being a housekeeper but I would rather prefer to be out with the society than being kept at home..
