wtrav02, where did you hear that thing about waitresses??? Maybe in some cheap cafes or restaurants they do, but not in the normal restaurant!:))) There is always some guards, who take care about all the possible problems and clients behavior!:))) In one of the restaurants on my own eyes, a client tried to touch the waitress...the guards took him out of the restaurant immideatily!
Thank you for the kind words and congratulations!!!:) I hope that my country will become really what it should be! For what people struggled for many years and dreamed for centuries!:))))
Toad, unfortunately I saw what my moms and dads relationship became, when my mom became a housewife....she became a servant, who created the cozy life for my dad and she was nothing else for him! Until she changed this situation, went to work, started getting interested in her own hobbies, she even became more beautiful, and she turned into a gorgeous interesting lady!:) And she never goes to salons or something like that, she takes care about herself at home...and their life turned into a second honeymoon again, and it continues until now:))) When they look at each other...there are sparkles...and they have lots of topics to share and discuss...my dad said that he was and is very happy when my mom went to work again!:))
So I only speak about things I know and I saw with my own eyes:))))
I agree my dear, not only is it a mans responsibility to love and take care of his lady, but he also has a responsibility to help her grow into the person she wants to become. He should support her in her endeavours in life. Two people from different paths can work and grow towards a common goal of love and life.
Ptitchka, here in America sometimes men assume the role of a woman. A colleague of mine has a career wife, so they both work and are very focused on their career progression. They have two young kids, one is an infant. They found so difficult to find a female nanny, so they had to hire a male nanny who offers this service out of his home since he stays home anyway to care for his own kids while his wife is out there earning the living. In my mind, this is unnatural and weird. Nature made the male stronger because the male is supposed to "hunt" while the female is supposed to "nest". In our days, these simple nuances have been distorted on the idea that a woman should do anything a man can do and, God save us, a man should do what a woman does. Can you imagine those kids who get used to the idea of their dad staying home cooking while mom wears the pants and brings food to the table? what types of fathers and mothers these kids will become when they grow up?
Your family the way you describe it sounds like a normal two-income-earner family. It seems from what you write that your mom is not a career only focused woman. If she were career only focused, your dad might not have been so happy now.
But I didn't say about focusing on a career only. I don't see how my words show that??:))) By the way my dad is not focused on a career.
But I also know families where a man works but does care about children more, while the woman works on some high position, and what? The family is happy, their children are very good and nice:)) It all depends on a family and on each situation:) If children are explained the situation from their childhood then they understand the situation in a right way and there are no problems:)))
The main idea of the family to my mind, is explaining the children all the situation, talking with them like with small adults:))) You know I celebrated New Year with my parents all my life, beginning with the time when I was less then 1 year old, just woke up and celebrated with them the holiday:)) Parents were very surprised but very happy about that:) And this is just because my parents talked with me like with a small adult, with a personality and not like with a kid who doesn't understand anything:))
Ptichka, your description of your family paints the picture of a healthy, happy family. Good for you and your parents! My wife also grew up in a similar manner and both her parents work. In fact, her mom works many hours a day in the folk market out in the cold selling cosmetics products 3 out of 4 weeks non-stop 10 hours a day (incl. weekends) then she takes 1 week off (you must be familiar with this type of market). She was a university airospace engineer working in a plant where they manufacture aircraft parts. However, after the fall of communism, she could not make enough money in that job, so she chose the hard way to earn money to contribute to her family. She also is an exceptional mother and housekeeper and an example and motivating factor for her daughter. In fact, my wife's first letter was filled with honest dexcriptions of her family and the importance of family to her. Her dad also has education but works now as a carpenter since the money is better and they actually pay him where he works (as you know people work these days in Ukraine, but they don't always get paid :). The way people are brought up is critical in defining who they are. What has amazed me about my wife's family is how they were able all three of them under such adverse conditions in their country to sustain their bonds so strong as a family and be happy with what they had. I can tell you in America people would need a lot more in temrs of conveniences and material things to be one fifth as happy as my wife's family.
I know that, my parents now own 2 kiosks in which they sell lamps, plates and things like that...though they work without any weekends. 7 days per week, 4 weeks a month, from 8 in the morning until 6-8 in the evening (depends on a season). I know such markets, and level of money earned there...
My dad was a boss of a department at a big plant, my mom is an engineer, very good one...though she tried some other kind of job, this is when she decided to change the situation in the family:)))
