What are your thoughts of a "house husband?"
Would you be okay with a relationship where roles were reversed?
My ladies, how are you? How have you been? I have one thing to confess: I have been neglecting my blog recently. At first, I made an excuse that my work have been incredibly busy so I decided to stop writing for a week or so. After that, I just feel too lazy to start writing again. I think that's it if I don't want to write or I have nothing to share, just leave it for later.
Until several days ago, I keep having dreams about myself at work, I slept but obviously still thinking about work. I realised I lost my balance. I need to get back to my routine to clear my thoughts so I don't dream of working too often.
I have to say Ladies of Hive community is always a perfect place when I want to write something but I don't know where to start. This week's topics, I think I will go for question number 2. When I first read this question, my gut told me: Hell no, I don't want to be a breadwinner. It is too stressful with a life that husband stays home and does the house works and I have to be out and abound to bring food to the table.

When I think about this question in terms of society's perspective, I could see the whole awkward moments playing in my head when my family, my friends know about it. My husband might feel hurt or ashamed of it and then eventually our relationship will be affected.
For our own well-being, I believe it is not healthy for both me and my husband if we have to do it. I believe in a balanced lifestyle, it is not good for one just do one task and the other taking care of other tasks. We need to do it together. We just need to be smart on how to do it. I think it is not fair if one of us have to sacrifice our own job to stay home.
However, my thoughts above are from my own experiences and my own perspectives. I believe there are situations in that we have to negotiate and discuss what is best to do. If that is the case, I believe communication is key to making sure we understand each other. Always discuss how other feels and what we should do together.
I think it will be interesting to read other ladies' experiences as they may be in that situation right now. As soon as I finish this post, I will try to read our ladies' entries to learn more.
I know it is quite late to invite other ladies to join this contest but would love to see how my dear friend @kimloan think about it.
It happens, you stop for a while and then getting back into the momentum becomes tricky
Well I am glad you did give it a go and participated in this week's writing challenge.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the subject
And keep writing k :D
Thank you :)
Whatever your arrangement is, you've got to be comfortable with it!
Men must not feel ashamed to do housework.
It doesn't take away from their manliness!
Thanks for sharing, @dora381.
Good luck with the contest.
I am so lucky to meet my partner who is willing to share the tasks with me. We always help each other and to be honest he is actually do more house work than me (he is cleaning dishes right now so I gave him the credit :)
However, in my hometown, it is not always the case. My Mum still tells me that I should take care of the chores not my partner. I understand why my Mum thinks so because that is what her generation does and they believe it is the best for a family.
Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Yeah, you're lucky!!!
But he must be pretty lucky himself for having you!
Take care @dore381!

Thank @Dora remembering me. For me, both my husband and I need to be free with our work, go out, and blend in with the world around us. And we can share the housework together. Your post is very clear and I totally agree with your opinion.
That's exactly what I thought my dear. Both me and my partner love our jobs so I don't want to think about the situation when one of us has to stay home and taking care of house works. We are happy to go to work and then come home & sharing the chores together. Thank you for responding to my invite.
