PP ma'm, i can understand ur point that women are the crux of society and they shape generations.....so they need to be at home to make sure this duty is fullfilled......lately, we have had a shift in this thinking.......guys are as much responsible for social/cultural upbringing as much as women.......i think the homemaker term applies to men as well........
moreover being a middle class person, i cant afford to have a housewife.........ippa chennai-la oru decent veedu vanganumna minimum 35lacs-40 lacs...........for any home loan, the interest will come to 30k -40k per month.......i dont think any person, even working in IT can afford to pay 30k-40k from his salary as interest.......first of all, no bank will give loan for 35 lacs or 40 lacs unless your wife is also earning and apply loan jointly.........i'm sure 70% of IT guys who have a take home salary ranging betn 25k-50k realise my point.........house loan-kke ippadinna, how will we give the kids - education, other basic neccessities.............weekend cinema in multiplex with family will cost Rs.1500-2000 - i just cant afford to have a housewife......simple.....
