to me, there is no such thing as being an exceptional wife and woman cos tt wld reali make her a superwoman and superman isn't even real. the women shld jus set their own standard as wat it requires her to be the best tt she can be. some prefer to be housewives, some prefer to be career women and some prefer to be a woman of luxury. if thats wat they do best and it makes her happy, then let her be. also, we shld not compare one woman to another cos we all have different ideas of being either a good mother, a good wife or just 2 be a person. we're all just different.

a wife shall cook, take care of the kids, look after her husband.. and all the cliche's.. its what she's designed to do best. thats the truth.

and a husband is designed to go to work, comes home and demands dinner to be on the table, watches tv, says a brief hello to the kids and goes off to bed (oh maybe roll around in bed for a while wit the missus). yes, that does seem like a perfect marriage.

Wife today have additional role to carry as they have to be a wife,mother and employee and employer(if she has a maid ).So the wife of today have to be very strong and have to make that right decision as what they really want for the future.This decission should be set by both the husband and wife so that things will be smooth.In singapore it's very difficult for a household to depent on mono income. It's very practicle to have duo income as we can plan better for the future.if that is the decision then there will be more sacrifices to be made by both party.Quality time is also better than quantity.

Singapore women must be very stressed out then. Not only do they have to take care of the family, they have to work as well. So..what happends to their children while their parents are away at work, and after when their parents are back after a tiring day. how possible is it for mums to be vigilant of their kids when they are too tired after work? Not only vigilant but also to nurture and educate their children?

It's true that Singapore women are very stressed out but that is the decission that both husband and wife made for the better future of the family.This means that they will have a better financial stability and thus they do not have to acquire fanancial assistant.
Do you think that if the wife is at home the family will be better off?Will the children be well taken off?We have read about the school drop-outs and high numbers of drug addicts.The most important aspect of children up-bringing is to spent the most quality time and undertsanding them as the chidren of today needs our listening ears and guidance.
I've seen some of my neighbours that are full time housewife but are having about 4 to 7 kids and finding it very difficult to take care of the kids.The kids are running around everywhere without supervision and these kids are under the financial assistance from the school.So where is the quality?
The woman of today have to face many challenges and they need the help of their spouses to fulfill their goal of having a happy family.

why is it only that the mothers are the ones who shld carry the sole responsibility of the care of the children?! what are the roles of the father then? both partners shld carry the same responsibility over the kids, unless u're a single parent. even so, u still have to share the responsibility. i grew up in a family where both my parents are full time workers and it is possible. the secret is to have shared responsiblity.
