Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called a “housewife”.She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money for the family. He wasusually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much housework. Andhe did not see the children very much, except on weekends.These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with thechildren all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the eveningcooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do thelaundry. So who isgoing to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and wifeagree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the husbandalways cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights andthe husband cooks dinner on other nights.Then there is the question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care fromgrandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents are often too faraway to help in a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be ababysitter or a day-care center. The problem with this kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only forcouples with jobs that pay well.Parents may get another kind of help form the companies they work for. Many companies now letpeople with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their children. Somehusbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new word:they are called “househusbands”. In the USA more and more men are becoming househusbands everyyear.These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their childrenbetter, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find changes intheir marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.
