A family needs a housekeeper...
||||
or a homemaker, be it the wife or husband.
I still remember what my grandma said when I was little. She said housekeeping kept her busy all day long. I knew what she was talking about: making three meals each day for 3-4 people, doing washing, keeping the apartment clean, and getting us freshly-made snacks every day at 3 pm. She meant the whole world to us, my brother and me, and she was a great person. However, I didn't know what she meant until recently when I spent two weeks cleaning up my two-bedroom apartment for some visitors (and hardly cooked).
So, my question is whether or not both parents should work, without the help of a housekeeper. I am sure most of you, the Bloggers at SciNet, don't have the luxury of having a paid housekeeper. May be it's time for the government to re-think how to restructure the work force, especially now when the unemployment is a big issue for young people in China. (And, with some luck, some of our Bloggers can enjoy early retirement.)
