"The wife goes out to earn money to support the family, while the husband takes care of the children and cooks at home. Nowadays, this is not new at home or abroad.". With the increase in women's educational level and the expansion of their employment scope, the possibility of couples rotating internal and external roles will increase in the future. However, the exchange of roles between husband and wife is not an easy and simple matter. Although the reasons for men returning to the kitchen are different, most men are forced to do so.
The psychological pressure of the housewife is greater
According to a new survey in the United States, the health status of these "housewives" is indeed far worse than those of men who earn money to support their families. Due to reasons such as depression, these men also have a significantly higher mortality rate than those who are "outside the home".
According to expert analysis, the main reason for the above phenomenon is that men are accustomed to playing the role of "outside the home", and once forced to return to their families, it takes a considerable process of adaptation, during which psychological pressure suddenly increases. They may feel discrimination from society and friends, and often even fail to gain the understanding of their wives. Because they rarely interact and communicate with other "housewives" or housewives, their psychological world is often in an isolated state. In the long run, it will harm health and longevity.
Interestingly, a foreign survey shows that children brought up by "family leaders" have higher intelligence quotients, they will achieve greater success in school, and they are more likely to gain a foothold in society. This may provide some comfort to stressed "housewives".
