In fact, the men, who are now openly agreed that they can be a househusband in modern life, can replace their wives to do the house chores. By that, family partners should decide which parental roles they should take, based on the income they have and personal preferences, in order to balance the family financial part.
Secondly

, in my opinion, the changes are a potential movement that will develop society to a higher level. The women have the chances to prove themselves in life, to pursue their own career and gain qualifications, not like in the old times when they were locked in the house with minimal choices to live truly of a successful person. Equally, men should feel free to leave their current jobs if they want to carry the childcare responsibilities. By that, taking family’s guarantee to look after the child should be considered based on the ability of couples to deal with the income they received. In conclusion, the trend that male and female switch roles in parenting are due to the big changes in the community, and for me, it is marvellous and desirable movement to occur in our society.
