Should the government give money to the housewives?

Through the discussion in today's class, I quite agree that government should sponsor the housewives.

This is really a interesting question that I or most people have never thought about before. We all think that it is housewives' responsibility to do housework and take charge of the old parents and children but they are belong to both wife and husband and why should only women take charge of them? Here comes the question that why can not they also choose to work outside just like their husbands? Many people's answer is that they prefer to do so but the fact is that looking after the old parents, babies and the children who do not go to school and clean the house are really tough work to do that many of the housewives prefer to have a job out. Nowadays people are always saying that men and women equal to each other but why in this case they are different? In my opnion, what the housewives do is as important as what the husbands do for the family. In this angle of family, they both do their best to make their familys live in a better life. Since the value of housewives'work is the same as husbands' , houswives also should be paid as their husbands, shouldn't they?

So now let's talk about the money for housewives should come from who. Let's take a view of this issue as you are the government. Your aim is to develop the economy and make residents harmony and happy. What the husbands do is to create the wealth for the society and what the housewives do is to solve the family's problems and make their family be harmony.As familys are the basic parts to constitute the society, so the housewives also contribute to the harmony of society, dont't they? Actually, most of the delinquents did't get much regard from their parents when they were small. Governments of course should sponsor the people who contribute a lot to the society.

Anyway, this is just my own opnion about this issue. There are still many details should be considered once governments really going to do this but at least this is something deserved to be think about.
