Family Life in the United States
Family life in the United States is changing Thirty or forty years ago, the wife was called a "housewife" She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children The husband earned the money for the family He was usually out working all day He came home tired in the evening, so he did not much housework And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends
These days, however, more and more women work outside the home They cannot stay with the children all day They, too, come home tired in the evening They not want to spend the evening cooking dinner and cleaning up They not have time to clean the house and the laundry So who is going to the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?
Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it In these families, the husband and wife agree to different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job For example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights
Then there is a question of the children In the past, many Families got help with child care from grandparents No families usually not live near their relatives The grandparents often are to far away to help in a regular way
More often, parents have to pay for child care help The help may be a babysister or a day-care center The problem with this kind of help is the high cost It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well
Parents may get another kind of help from the companies they work for Many companies now let people with children work part-time That way, parents can spend more time with their children Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children For these men there is a new word: They are called "househusband" In the United States more and more men are becoming househusband every year
These changes in the home mean changes in the family Fathers can learn to understand their children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better Husbands and wives may also find changes in their marriage They, too, may have a better understanding of each other
