Actually, I don't know if they are too oblivious, or we are too sensitive, but we do feel that we are judged as women by how our home looks, whether it is clean and neat. Most of us work outside the home just as many or more hours that our husbands do, so why do we put this pressure on ourselves??? Times have changed and then in some ways they haven't.
Confusing and contradicting society we live in!!!!

We talk about this same issue pretty often in my Child Welfare course. Women, traditionally, were supposed to take care of the children, keep the house clean, make sure the family has meals at the proper times, etc. etc. BUT that was ALL she did. Now, women are pretty much expected to work to help support the family, but they are still supposed to fill all of those traditional roles as well. The father on the other hand, generally still does what he has always done. No wonder women are so stressed!!
