Well for at least 9 months and maybe more
And MAYBE more???? Its the mother that cares for the children 90 percent and more of the time.
Use a bit of common sense, whilst the man is at work, and the woman is at home, if she's not doing chores, what should she be doing?
Stop living in the old age, NOT ALL WOMEN STAY AT HOME!!! I am a independent WORKING WOMEN, just like many more muslim women! So while the husband is at work, SO AM I! So how about a man also care for a women, just as much as she will. And I will tell you, sometimes it is the women who bring the checks in, and not only that they also have to cook all the time. How about the spouse talk and understand each others needs, if a man is home more than a women he cooks, if she is home more than she cook. And BOTH keep the home clean! It is not, oh I will eat and you cook, clean the dishes and clean the dinning area and the rest of the home while I lay and bum out for the rest of the day, because let me give you a reality check, a house wife is a job too- caring for a child is hard so how about giving us women some space to breath and help us out!!
It might be cultural, but if my wife refuses to cook and do the chores then I will simply move back to live with my mother and send my wife to my parents because I see very little contribution from a wife otherwise
Well sir there is something call communication. Ask her why she will not help in the house, and very rarely will a women not care for her husband. But if a man works her with all the cooking and chores and never helps her one bit, than she has ever right to walk to her fathers hands for comfort!!!
Please think about it, if the wife doesn't do chores at home, what should she do for the 10 hours of the day he's at work? Sit and watch TV gossip on the phone with her friends?
May be she is at work as well. If she is at home and with child, maybe she is caring for a the kids. or maybe she just needed a break! Stop making all women out to being lazy, and saying what if what if.
Okay the idea of SOME men are cooking cleaning and that is it (Alhamdullah there are great men who love equal house work for both). But I encourage women to get your education so you will never have to deal with controlling non-helpful man, so they can rub it in your face that they are paying for the food! And if (God forbid) a women does she can walk out the home and have her education in hand with a job! But all women should remember, the hands of your parents will always keep you safe and not have plans of how you should be!
It's not like most men these days don't do the bulk of their chores. I iron my own clothes, clean my room, fix my bed, clean the bath after a shower, do a lot of the DIY etc
well brother, carry a baby in your body for 9 months, bleed for 5-7 days every month (168 hours of bleeding), and have cramps and bad back aches, with headaches, nauseous and have the "obligation" to cater to a man, when a women is sad going through a lot she cries when she is alone but gives back up strong and does what she needs to. Doing a little bit of your obligation while a women just keeps her self strong.
I once told you to please refrain from commenting on my post because when ever you do, it ALL about you. Humble your self and please stop ! Allah be with you! Ma'Salaam!
Brother KingKong, I don't mean to sound like a mean person, think about what you say before you speak *write* it. I know your not directing anything to a specific person, but be wise in your comments because a lot of times it is and seems degrading/lowing women, when in all honesty men would be nothing without them... you wouldn't be alive had it not been for a women so how about you be easy with us and respect, because women are stronger than any man will ever know. we need our time too. Women don't need a man to live, but we are complete when we find our soul mate.
