Lam Van Nhac (26 years old, Worker): Taking care of children is the responsibility of both husband and wife
It took me more than an hour to travel from the company to my home, so I chose to rent a room near the company to live. About 2-3 days or a week, I take advantage of the time to go home to help my wife take care of the children.
When I get home, I help my wife with everything from changing diapers, making milk for the children or cooking, washing dishes. I always thought that taking care of children was the job of both husband and wife and sharing housework with my wife helped us become closer to each other.
If you don't know, you have to ask, that is your point of view. Because it was my first time being a father, there were many things I didn't know, at that time I didn't put the responsibility on my wife but often took the initiative to study online or ask family members to gain experience in taking care of children.
Chu Quy Thang (27 years old, Beauty Services): Sharing frankly about taking care of children
With the nature of a beauty service business, I often have to leave early and come home late, even during peak months, I have to be at the shop until 1-2 am at night. That is also the reason why I do not spend much time on housework as well as taking care of my children.
As society develops, equality in married life will be increasingly valued, but it depends on the nature of the work and the mutual understanding of the couple. Since getting married and having children, my wife and I have always spent time sharing frankly with each other about this issue, so my wife always sympathizes with her work.
I understand that taking care of children is very tiring, but if both husband and wife try a little hard, all problems will be solved more easily.
Trinh Huu Nghia (25 years old, Technical Staff): Caring for children is not a unique task of women
I work close to home, so I have a lot of time for my family. Because both husband and wife are quite young and do not have much experience in taking care of their children, I always try to share the work with my wife.
Everyone has their own thoughts, but I think that men and women are equal, I cannot say that raising a family and taking care of children is the unique task of women. As a man, I need to be strong, stand up to protect my family and be ready to help my wife in everything.
Since my family welcomed the little angel, I have spent all my free time with my family, going out and gathering with friends less. Sometimes friends also invite me to go out a lot, but I limit it, because family is what I will be attached to for the rest of my life.
Duong Minh Duc (25 years old, Workers): Sharing the responsibility of taking care of children makes the family happier
When they got married and had their first child, my wife and I were very young. Therefore, stabilizing our married life as well as taking care of our children is quite difficult and cannot avoid stressful times. Most people often think that the job of taking care of children belongs to the mother and the father only plays a small role as a household allowance when the mother is busy, but I don't think so.
Sharing the responsibility of raising children will help you build attachment to them from childhood to adulthood and maintain a lasting family relationship. As for my wife, it will somewhat reduce the pressure and give me more time to rest.
This also significantly improves the family atmosphere, as well as helping couples balance their lives, be happier and more confident, eliminating feelings of loneliness and loss.
