“Stupid housewife” is a term used by many of us nowadays. In today’s competitive age taking your career to the acme and earning loads of money is considered the most important aspect of life. And, why not? If boys can have a identity of their own, girls also should make their mark in their career front and make their own identity. It’s really great to see girls making their mark in every field, starting from entrepreneurship to the fashion world, glamour to medicine, technology to politics and so on and so forth. But what surprises me is that , in spite of  such capabilities , many people use the term “stupid housewife” for those women who sacrifice their career for the sake of their family. Does it mean, you are stupid if you take care of your own kids instead of hiring a babysitter? Or does it mean you are stupid if you cook for your family instead of hiring a cook? Does it also mean you are good for nothing if you spend time running after your own kid and giving him/her good guidance and quality time instead of commuting to office and working on files? These are some questions for which every housewife seeks answer? Who in this world does not want to be independent? I guess no one. But sometimes circumstances are such that you have to choose either of the two, your career or your family. So are those women stupid, who select their family instead of their career? Folks, tell me one thing, will a babysitter make your baby eat as lovingly as a mother would? Will the baby get as much affection and care from a babysitter rather than his or her own mother? So how come housewives are stupid. They are much wiser because they don’t let their family suffer because of their career aspirations. So folks, please post your views and comments on this issue.
