In the progressing society, Eastern women in general, Vietnamese women in particular, have more chances to learn new knowledge, to pursue their passions and careers. However, there are various types of viewpoint on the issue whether or not married women should take up jobs outside the home.
Some issue-opposing people consider that those working women could not completely implement their simultaneous tasks as mothers, wives, daughters in law. In the opinions of opposing people, married women should use their entire daily time for nourishing their children, taking care of parents in law even doing household domestic chores. Moreover, several conservative men are afraid the risk of taking them down in family hierarchy when their wives get successes in occupations outside even though they obtain more achievements.
However, through many forums, social networks, and other media, there are many supporting ideas for working moms. First, married women have conditions using and updating knowledge. Working moms will accumulate necessary skills to build and care their own warming nests. They also have chances to approach developing and changing trends in the youth. Thus, they can understand psychological developments of their children in every growth period. Furthermore, they can find proper methods for education their little angels.
Second, married women with their own careers will be financial independence with their husbands. They can actively meet both spirit and material demands of their children and bilateral parents. On the other hand, the more jobs mean the more income for family budget. This will lessen the pressure in earning duties of husbands.
Third, working moms get a wide range of communication skills than household moms. Those skills are not acquired easily at home. Women experience them from work and practice everyday. Communication skills will be useful in relationship behaviors, especially with their better half. Marital life is not as simple as one imagines. It requires communicating and sharing information based on respect of each other.
Fourth, in case the conjugal life indicates signs of split or comes to an end. In process of saving marriage or at least easing sorrow, working women show much more advantages than non-working women. The former knows how to find sharing from colleagues and consultancy from psychological or marital professionals. They easily get balances by meeting friends, participating social activities, joining charity groups or attending physical courses, etc. In addition, working women feel little tragedy in terms of finance after divorcing.
I agree with those people who support women working outside. History of human being reflects that working create more innovations and motivations in women. Many huge achievements in science and society originate from working women. Nevertheless, it needs double even triple in endeavor of Vietnamese women because their husbands rarely share in doing chores and caring children. Most importantly, women have to determine that outside jobs are just only to enrich their lives in terms of finance and social contact. That is the significant thing I and those supporters desire at working women.
