My sons while on onsite stints had to do all household work that you are referring to! One never liked it, waited impatiently to return home, the other was resigned to it with reasonable acceptance & after returning keeps 'pestering' his wife by offering to help her!Quote:

Well, most women that I personally know of who has suffered some form of severe depression happens to be a middle aged, home maker. (If not a regular homemaker, someone who was at that time without a job and at home). FYI, I serve in a voluntary org that deals with a lot of people, apart from my regular full-time job.Quote:

I'm willing to change my opinion if there are medical stats otherwise.

Is women education qualification is just for man to show that his wife has got Mba ,MCA etc ? :roll:
>>My sons while on onsite stints had to do all household work that you are referring to!<<
Wrong assumption, in my case:-) Even with a homemaker at my home, it's done as a "choice"!
>>They age faster, suffer more physical ailments<<
Another unscientific theory madam! காட்டுக்குப்போய் வேலை செய்த என் உறவினர்களை விட வீட்டிலிருந்த பெண்டிருக்குத்தான் வியாதி அதிகம்:-))
I don't do it for compulsion ..In weekends I try my best to share most of the works and let my wife to spend time with what she likes personally.Quote:

Once again, I'm not talking about only office job / career for women, but activity outside home is a must to be healthy. வீட்டுக்குள் பூட்டி வைக்காதீர்கள்:-)
Are you referring to Indian conditions? Voluntary services done in India? In our environment I see no reason for 'idling' ( do I read jealousy of men here? :lol: ) leading to paranoia or any depression! :huh:Quote:
