Women in Families
Role reversal has not really become popular Couples who swap roles are still few and far between Is that because women are better at rearing children? Or are men just afraid to resist tradition?
The isolation was the worst thing, said Andrew Timpson, who left teaching to take care of his home and children for two and a half years
The idea of swapping roles-for the father to stay at home while mum goes out to work - is still a relatively new one In the 70s it sounded like a great idea Let the newly liberated women make progress with her career while the New Man stays at home and takes care of the house and children
Now, 10 years or so later, it seems as if we were a l i t t l e premature A recent report by the Family Policy Studies Center concludes: "Despite important social changes, particularly greater female employment, it is still women in families who undertake the great bulk of house-work, cooking, child-care and taking care of elderly relatives - The much hyped New Man remains a rare species.’
Certainly some would argue that a man cannot replace a mother - that mum is the natural homemaker, while dad is the provider Some men might give help with shopping and cooking, but most would do little more Some men even believe that doing housework is an insult to their masculinity Others, like Andrew, want to stay at home-but with reservations Andrew, who is now about to return to work, says, "I don't know that I could have continued doing it for the rest of my life I enjoyed it, but I do want to support my family and I do want
to work I thought I could handle being dependent on Maureen,
but it proved to be tough for both of us." Maureen says, "I've got a job I really love Continuing working has allowed me to fulfill my potential "
For many couples who swap roles, traditional attitudes are a major problem Frank and Joan Roberts found that they were confronted with strong views when Frank left his job to look after Michael, five, while Joan continued with her career Frank says, "It is not socially acceptable where we live People here are reared to believe that the man goes out to work and woman stays at home."
