In our patriarchal society,its not possible to implement the househusband concept in the recent time.But it can be be in use after a long duration as people these days are more conscious & educated.Men can equally be involved in helping the woman in their spare duration with the kitchen stuffs& other household stuffs.

i believe men should equally contribute in the household work. when women can work outside and earn for the family, why can't men help in household work? i don't get why men have such obnoxious mentality. this is the 21st century where women, in the professional world, work shoulder to shoulder with men; infact, some even higher. women have proven their place and its high time men do the same in household world. if not fully, they should atleast try and help partly. i think they can start from smaller tasks like shopping the groceries. if you're a better husband, you'll do better things like taking turns in cooking dinner (obviously they have to work during daytime) and looking after the kids more often. cleaning up sometimes sounds good too. i know all these tasks can be too much for a man to handle at once, but things'll get better with time. an initiative is all it takes, and with time.....i seriously hope this concept of househusband will be not just accepted but popular in our society.

Men can also help women in household work.They could do so by looking after their babies when women are busy at work,buying groceries when back to home from office.As a belief,men are considered the bread earners and women considered to look after the home and children, the concept of househusband will not be accepted in our society in full fledge .As time changes,and women start participating equally as men in all sectors,then this concept will slowly be adapted in our community,more in the urban areas and slowly to the remote places.

The status of women has improved in past few years and they are now able to match men in professional field but when it comes to carrying household chores and raising a child,it still comes in the part of women.Women,along with moving their career forward,also have to make sure that her family gets food on time,her children are dressed for their school on time.So basically i don't see any equality here!! For materializing any concept on gender equality and househusband, both women and men have to understand that it takes both of them to make a house their "home".Men have to think above the status pro quo that only women are responsible for taking care of their children and home.

first of all it nots the matter whether it is acceptable or not ,its about carrying out the responsibility.The concept of sharing responsibilty is one of the important step to establish the gender equity in our society.

Today’s youth envision a life of human far from man or woman, so keeping aside the sex stereotypes; we search for a better quality of life. They say ‘cooking for eating’ so no problem who cooks as far as the food is basic need. When we were travelling extensively through the Makawanpur district, we found equal involvement of husband and wife in household chores. However, the child rearing practice needs a serious mention as a lot of parents are finding it more difficult to raise children, so a common cliché goes,’ the kids these days are very difficult to handle’, so trainings (e.g. child parent relationship therapy) and community campaigning to raising twenty first century child be a topic of concern of all fathers and mothers who are the responsible bodies for bringing the child into our planet earth.

I believe that despite how far we have come from the stereotypical family roles, we are still eons away from the concept of "househusband" being accepted in our society. Our society has deep rooted beliefs and though the idea of a supportive husband is indeed very much appealing, I doubt if the women folk actually want a man (their men to be precise) at home confined to the roles their kind was previously limited to. Although if some couple prefer it then that is entirely up to them. Men can help by assisting with household chores, being emotionally supportive, taking an active interest in the growth of their child as well as providing monetary input. For a happy and fulfilling family life there should be equal contribution from both sides, after all it takes two to tango.

Men can equally be involved to help in the household stuffs by utilising their spare time.Thay can be involved in helping wife with cooking stuff.Its quite tough in our society to accept the househusband concept as varied superstitious beliefs still resides in our society.

The progress the women have achieved in today is appreciable. Today's women are not just the "housewives". So, the life of the working women have become even more hectic. Considering the fact,men do need to participate in household works including child raising. It's not that the men are unaware about it,it's just the old patriarchal thought still prevalling in their mind. So, first step would be to realise and accept the fact that they too have a huge responsibility in household works.Men can help wives from cooking to cleaning and child rearing. and if majority of the men realise it, the concept of househusband will be accpted soon.

I definitely think the roles between males and females have blended a lot in the past 100 years and it may get to the point where there is no gender specific roles anymore but Women still do the bulk of the housework and childcare, no matter how much they work outside of the home.Furthermore in context of our traditional society, I think men participating in household work is really difficult to accept in male dominating society like ours.
