When men or women make their work their top priority and become hostile to the normal, natural needs of their children and spouse - obviously, something is wrong.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A typical complaint of married women with children is that their job stress tired them out so that they have little quality emotion and energy left for their children, much less their husbands.
Human nature is you work shoulder to shoulder in a real emotional kind of setting, and there are jealousies that come up. There's resentment, and resentment turns to just outright bad things.
If a guy works, and he has children, it's good, and he doesn't feel the same guilt about not being there for the children as a woman would. With a woman, there's that pull: 'Oh, I should be home,' when she's at work, and 'Oh, I should be at work,' when she's at home.
I think women - relative to men - tend to feel that they have to do the household chores on top of everything else. This becomes even worse once you have kids. It's enough to have a full time job; a full time job plus a family is even more.
Men must stop being jealous of their power and generously allow freedom and responsibility to others. The reward is harmonious families and society.
Women face enough pressures and challenges in a workplace that is still depressingly biased against a female's success. Add to that, the fact that the very thing many women I know find most rewarding (having kids) is now frowned upon.
Some husbands regard it as their prerogative to compel their wives to fit their standards of what they think to be the ideal.
Idleness among children, as among men, is the root of all evil, and leads to no other evil more certain than ill temper.
Mothers and children are human beings, and they will sometimes do the wrong thing.
A man's got to work for more than himself and his kids to feel right.
