Mothers Should Not Work Outside the Home. They Should Stay Home to Look After Their Children. Do You Agree?
Being stereotyped as the weaker ones compared to men, women have always been discriminated in one way or another. Even though there has been distinguishable effort in abolishing these gender issues for past few decades, one cannot deny the universally accepted truth that there is still a small area in the society today where female are treated as more inferior than males. As a result, one may argue that mothers should stay home to look after their children instead of working outside the home. I accept that women have duty to take care of their children, but that does not mean that they cannot work outside the home. Hence, I am against the statement “Mothers should not work outside the home.” Besides this fact, it is also easily found that the recent generation of females have handled strongly the fields of industries such as Economy, Sciences, and Music. There has been proven information showing that 54% of mothers with a graduate or professional degree no longer work full time. Firstly, just like the men, women have abilities to work as they are well educated. Hence, in my opinion, it would be such a waste for these educated females if they were to just stay at home and take care of the kids. Secondly, depending solely on the mother to raise the child will cause the father to forget that he is also responsible in raising the child. There have been many cases where fathers of the household focuses on too much work that they do not have time to interact with their kids. I feel that both parents of a household have parental duties to look after their child so we should not just force the mother to stay at home to take care of the kids. Thirdly, mothers should have much human right as anyone else in society to decide what is best for them and their children. If they would rather work and make alternative arrangements for the care of their child, then that should be considered equally valid. It could cause depression if women are forced to give up work
