There has been a shifting trend of fathers staying at home to nurture and provide for the kids while the mother earns the bread in recent times. I feel this is a monumental change in a positive direction, given that the 21st century has provided a platform for change, which a lot of people have embraced.

To begin with, the traditional bounds were that the mother would stay at home and nurture the kids while the father would work. This system became redundant and arbitrary as the world progressed. In the erstwhile days, women were barred from work as they were wrongly considered to be inferior to men in certain aspects. But these shackles have since been broken. Now, women have the opportunity to earn more than their male counterparts. As a result, they go out while the father works from home or at home as someone is needed to care for the young ones. This change is quite refreshing as men play their part to nurture the family, no matter what that role might be.

Fathers staying at home doesn’t just allow a mother to fulfil her career-oriented dreams but also takes a lot of loads off her as motherhood is a daunting task. For instance, with the father taking care of the family, the mother can catch up with old friends, go out for a refreshing walk, learn a new hobby or skill, or take a much-warranted nap. This change is possible as a sense of equality is being instilled among the people and they realize that sharing responsibilities develops stronger bonds.

However, there might be a few drawbacks to this. For instance, a father’s nurturance will never triumph over that of a mother’s. Furthermore, climbing up the corporate ladder means making a lot of sacrifices which often include moving around from place to place, working late hours successively and tremendous tension on the employee. It is observed that women tend not to make such choices as they feel the family might be affected. But all in all, this sea change shows the progression of the society which previously deemed women unfit for work and that a man should take equal responsibility in a household. Thus, we can take pride in becoming a unified, welcoming and progressive society in general.

To summarise, this trend is witnessed in a time when the most capable person stakes claim to the job, irrespective of their gender. Also, the concept of online offices has aided greatly. Hence, it should be taken as a positive step and should flourish further.

Sample 2:

In today’s modern era, the conventional gender roles are undergoing a paradigm shift, with mothers becoming the primary breadwinners of the family and fathers staying at home to look after their children. This situation has emerged as a result of a lot of factors, and I feel it is indicative of a positive trend. 

To begin with, one of the key reasons could be that, in the twenty-first century, females are equally educated and demanding as their male counterparts due to increased access to educational and professional opportunities. The equal rights movement, often known as gender equality, has had a tremendous impact on women’s empowerment, resulting in mothers working in offices while fathers stay home to look after their children. Several western countries have socially welcomed this trend, but other developing Asian countries have yet to fully embrace it. Apart from that, the modern era’s financial problem has compelled parents to look for employment in order to cover their living expenses. Thus, the parents eventually decide who will make money for the family and who will look after their children regardless of society or traditional ideas.

With the changing environment, the socio-economic aspect of parenting is also changing, with fathers staying at home to care for children. At the same time, mothers go out to work, which is a sign of positive development because, in the past, men were required to be breadwinners while women were denied the opportunity to work outside the kitchen. However, a large number of women today hold prestigious positions in well-known organisations. As a result, women are capable of becoming self-sufficient and working alongside men in any industry. For instance, a large number of industries are driven by women in human resources management, nursing, hospital, banking, teaching etc. Therefore, the increase in the number of employment opportunities in different fields has led women to become the family’s breadwinners.

To sum up, considerable shifts in social beliefs and women’s advancement have altered family roles. As a result, the changing trend has more positive outcomes than negatives, and it should be regarded as a positive step forward because real growth is impossible until men and women cooperate and have equal opportunities.

Sample 3:

The traditional belief that men are breadwinners while women should take care of chores and up bring children is no longer true in the modern era. In many places, this convention has gone to a reverse way and an increasing number of women work outside and men stay at home. There are several reasons for this, and I personally think that it is a positive trend.

With the changes in social belief, more parents send their daughters for higher studies instead of preparing them for getting married and this enhances the capable and educated women workforce. In many fields, for example, telemarketing, teaching, fashion design, and banking, women are doing better than men, and this has created a demand for female employees in the job market. The equal right movement has had a great impact on empowering women, and this has become quite normal for mothers to work at offices while the fathers decide to stay at home to take care of their children. This decision is often based on mutual understanding of the couples and the one who has the higher earning potential decides to work to support the increasing expenses of the family. This has been socially accepted in most of the developed countries though some developing countries in Asia are yet to completely accept this trend.

In my opinion, this trend has more positive outcomes and should be treated as progress. If both genders do not work hand in hand and do not get equal opportunities, real progress would be impossible. This ensures that we live in an era when both men and women have an equal opportunity, and someone is not deprived of a great career or a big opportunity only because of her gender. It is a great chance that allows the parents to decide who to earn money for the family and who to take care of the family, not based on social and traditional belief.

In conclusion, the changing roles in a family have been possible due to the great changes in social belief, advancement of women, especially in education and this is a very positive trend that eliminates the gender discrimination and advocates the equal rights.

Sample 4:

With the socio-economic development, breadwinner fathers and stay-at-home mothers are on a decline. There are many causes behind this trend and in my opinion, this could be considered as a positive change rather than negative.

It is undeniable that the global economy is going down. Many men workers have been sacked, and as a consequence, they stay at home, do household chores and take care of children. At the same time, women are more encouraged to work, by the government policies such as maternity leave, high salaries, and shortened the working hours. Another reason why husband role has been changed in recent years is the acceptance of the society for them to become nannies instead of going to work and support the family.

Personally, I think this change in father’s and mother’s traditional role could have many benefits. Firstly, in many cases mothers have better qualifications and job opportunities than their partners, so it seems more sensible for them to go out to work. Secondly, if fathers stay at home and look after children, it would become an important contribution in their children's upbringing, which could play a vital role in children’s future when they become teenagers and face problems that would be hard for mothers to handle. For example, it is rare to find boys or girls who have a close relationship with their fathers and are making trouble or unsuccessful in their lives.

In conclusion, there are different reasons why fathers are becoming more responsible for taking care of children while mothers are busy with the financial support of the family. And I believe this could be useful for the whole family. 

Sample 5:

It has been seen for decades that male has always been a dominating figure in the society.  Today's world offers equal opportunities to both men and women. Therefore, it is common to see nowadays that more fathers are staying at home and raising children while mothers have become the bread earners. Whatever may be the reasons, I am completely against this trend and to me, it brings more of negativity than positivity.

To start with, one of the causes could be that females today are equally educated and demanding as males. Females have the potential to be independent and walk along with the men in every field. Companies today, seek to hire more females for jobs that are less physically demanding, thereby leaving fewer options for men. Secondly, in some Middle Eastern countries like UAE and Qatar, females are preferred over males, because these countries look for woman empowerment. Finally, in cases where the wife holds a higher qualification, she, with mutual understanding and discussion with the husband works so that they can earn more and have a better life.

However, according to me, this brings negative development to the society. Children in their growing age need more love and care, which they can get from by mothers. Females have that natural instinct to provide comfort and care. Fathers, how much ever they try, cannot put the values that a mother can incorporate into a child. Hence, this affects the upbringing of children. Furthermore, fathers cannot cope with both household tasks and look after the kids. On the other hand, females are said to be multitaskers.

To summarise, I do not want to say that females should not work at all, but of course, not at the cost of nurturing their children. There are women who do part time jobs and look after the family as well. Nevertheless, in my view, this trend should not be continued as it has more drawbacks and brings negativity.

Sample 6:

In modern times the traditional gender roles are changing rapidly, resulting in more fathers staying at home looking after their offspring and mothers becoming the main breadwinners in the family. There are numerous causes for this, and I think it’s a step in the right direction.

In the past few decades, there have been numerous women’s movements, as a result of which conventional gender roles have gone through a paradigm shift. Although this equality was only acquired after long hard battles fought by women’s right groups against the misogynist practices that existed a few decades ago. Furthermore, in past few decades, we also had a fair share of men’s movements whose main aim was to make men get in touch with their feminine side rather than feel ashamed and disgusted with it.

Nonetheless in many parts of the world and in fact in the minds of many people across the globe, such a family system is considered to be an insult to a man’s masculinity, but I beg to differ with this school of thought. In my view, it is a blessing to be living in a time in history where both males and females can choose to take on whatever role they decree. And since it has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that women can do most jobs just as good, if not better than their male counterparts there’s nothing wrong with mothers taking on roles that are traditionally thought to be men-oriented.

All in all, due to successful women’s and men’s movements deep into the last millennia, genders roles are getting swapped, and I am of strong opinion that these changes are a blessing.

Sample 7:

Nowadays it is common in many families where mothers are breadwinners for the family, while the father takes on the role of raising the children. A number of factors have led to this situation, I regard it as a positive trend.

On the one hand, in today's society, parents have had to adapt to several changes. Firstly, owing to the advancement of equal rights movements, 21st century's ladies have greater access to educational and professional opportunities which in turn create a situation where women can lead to gain qualifications and pursue a career. Secondly, on the basis of their personalities, to certain kinds of professions such as human resource management, nursing and teaching which are primarily driven by women. For example, in a hospital, more female nurses are recruited due to the fact women tend to more patience and caring to look after patients. Finally, the rising of living which means both marriage partners need to have a job to support the family, therefore, it may depend on the personal preference of each partner, who will take the role of breadwinner and who will take on the role of upbringing children, or based on which partner earns the most money.

On the other hand, in my opinion, this trend could create a profound influence not only in the societies but among the families as well. Having househusband, men can realise the arduous job of his wife that make him more respectable toward her. In addition, it could make harmony and understanding between spouses which positively affects the children as well. Last but not least, there is always a chance to get back to the traditional professions of men and women if they feel bored as seeking a change.

In conclusion, the changing of gender roles is beneficial to the family as well as society and this trend is greatly acceptable.

Sample 8:

It is clear that the role of mothers to maintain their children has been replaced by fathers in many areas. There are plenty of reasons why this can be, and I am pretty sure that it is a good evolution.

For me, a mother’s choice to leave her baby to her husband can happen due to various reasons. Firstly, the man might have wider knowledge about how to maintain the baby correctly and effectively than his life partner has. Hence, it is likely to be a wise idea if he obtains the full responsibility of taking care of their children. Furthermore, the agreement created before entering marriage life also can be a cause. My sister as an example, before she and her future husband decided to get marriage, they made an appointment that the husband would look after their children as my sister earned much more money than he did. Looking at this example, it seems that the economic factor indirectly is one of the reasons. Traditionally settled marriage is declining while people are choosing their life partners. This leads to a phenomenon that women are no longer bound to take care of their children and do household works. If they have better potential, they do office jobs or run a business and that leaves the father to stay at home.

In my opinion, it is a positive evolution if the female works and the male stay at home to maintain their children. This is mainly because it is likely to be a distinct proof showing that the position of both genders is the same. In addition, it can destroy a traditional assumption revealing that the husband who should earn money for the family and the wife should be a full-time housewife. This issue also reveals that each couple seemly has different rules in order to create their finest family.

In a nutshell, knowledge and arrangement might be the factors why mothers leave their kids to the father, and it seems to me that it is a good trend.

Sample 9:

It is true that men are increasingly likely to take on the role of househusband, while more women than ever are the breadwinners in their families. There could be several reasons for this, and I consider it to be a very positive trend. 

In recent years, parents have had to adapt to various changes in our societies. Equal rights movements have made great progress, and it has become normal for women to gain qualifications and pursue a career. It has also become socially acceptable for men to stay at home and look after their children. At the same time, the rising cost of living has meant that both marriage partners usually need to work and save money before starting a family. Therefore, when couples have children, they may decide who works and who stays at home depending on the personal preference of each partner, or based on which partner earns the most money. 

In my view, the changes described above should be seen as progress.  We should be happy to live in a society in which men and women have equal opportunities, and in which women are not put under pressure to sacrifice their careers. Equally, it seems only fair that men should be free to leave their jobs in order to assume childcare responsibilities if this is what they wish to do. Couples should be left to make their own decisions about which parental role each partner takes, according to their particular circumstances and needs. 

In conclusion, the changing roles of men and women in the family are a result of wider changes in society, and I believe that these developments are desirable.

Sample 10:

In the modern era, ancient gender roles are shifting very swiftly. As a result, more fathers are staying at home to care for their children, while more mothers are working. This is happening because women are equally educated and proficient as men. This contributes positively to society.

With the changes in society, parents have now opted to let their daughters pursue the education they desire. This has enabled them to have a higher position in companies. The females are now capable and very proficient. They are the leaders in some of the fields, such as teaching, human resources, banking, and fashion design. These have a higher demand for female employees than for male employees. Another reason may be a mutual decision made by the parents. If the mother has a higher-paid job, it can sustain their standard of living better, so the mother continues her job. For example, my aunt, who was in a management position, kept working while her husband, who had a lower-paying job, sacrificed and took care of their children.

This, in my opinion, has a positive impact on society and represents a step forward for the senior population. The role shifts break the regressive thinking of women staying at home and men working. Both genders collaborate, whether to raise a child, provide for the family, or earn a living. When men stay at home and do everything their spouse does on a daily basis, they realise how tedious and strenuous their job is.

To conclude, the roles being changed between the parents are due to advancements in ideologies and manpower demand. It has a positive effect on society, bringing about a change in traditional and orthodox thinking.

Sample 11:

Nowadays, fathers are increasingly choosing to stay at home and care for their children rather than seek employment, while mothers continue to work and earn. Some men do this for financial reasons, while others do it for personal reasons. This can be considered a very positive trend because of the benefits it brings.

In recent years, there have been a variety of changes occurring that parents have had to adapt to. Women, like men, can obtain education and qualifications and pursue a career. Society has gradually come to accept that men can stay at home to care for their children. Along with changes in society, the standard of living has also risen in regard to how the parents decide on the breadwinner. Therefore, the couple jointly decides who should take care of the children. For instance, my cousin’s wife earned almost double his salary; hence, they decided for her to continue working while he stayed home.

In my opinion, these changes are progressive and beneficial for society. People are quite content to live in a community where men and women have equal rights and opportunities. It also benefits women in particular, as they are able to follow their aspirations and dreams. This is beneficial for children as well; for instance, research has found that children raised by fathers tend to have better emotional stability and social skills.

To conclude, the core idea of family and the role of parents is changing in the contemporary era based on the advancement in society and the abilities possessed by individuals. This has been shown to be positive because there are more benefits for society and its members.

Sample 12:

There is a change in the role of parents. Traditionally, mothers took care of children while fathers worked. However, now the roles are reversed. This occurred due to the movements and agendas carried out for the empowerment of women. I believe this has a negative impact due to the effects it leaves on men’s mental health.

The feminist group has carried out a number of movements and agendas in order to achieve gender equality in the workplace. This has brought about equality between the sexes in all environments. As a result, fathers are now responsible for raising their children, while mothers work. Along with that, companies have now understood the efficiency and progress they can achieve with the help of women. creating a prominent demand for female employees. This has led to mothers being able to work while their partners take care of the children.

Contrary to the reasons for change, its impact is not favourable. A mother's natural instincts are to provide more love, care, and tender handling for her children. When fathers care for their children, they frequently overlook the details and give things a rough once-over with care and tender handling. This is lacking when fathers care for their children; they tend to ignore the details and give things a rough touch. Along with that, society still does not accept this change and often labels men as "useless" and many other things. This leaves a dent in their mental health, which deteriorates gradually.

To conclude, the changes in the roles of parents have occurred due to the change in ideologies brought about by the propaganda of feminists. This has brought about more negatives than benefits.

Sample 13:

Lately, society has witnessed a significant shift in family dynamics, with an increasing number of fathers staying at home as caregivers while mothers act as breadwinners. This trend is driven by a number of influences, and I generally believe it to be positive, despite some misgivings.

There are a few reasons to explain this development. Firstly, in families where the woman earns vastly more than the man does, flexible childcare arrangements would make sense. If a single source of income is enough for the household, the mother can work while her husband stays at home and cares for their young. The child, as a result, can receive a proper upbringing but the family can still sustain itself financially. The aforementioned development, in addition, is supported by a belief that women are entitled to pursuing their careers without the added pressure of being the primary caregiver. A flexible distribution of domestic and professional responsibilities would foster respect towards women's aspirations, while nurturing egalitarian relationships.

Despite some concerns against this trend, I believe that it is ultimately positive. In a way similar to households where men are the sole breadwinners, having women in that role is criticized for underutilizing both parents in the workforce. As a consequence, the family’s income would be burdened if either parent, for some reason, is unable to work at full capacity. There is, however, a benefit in empowering fathers to play an intimate role in their children’s development, which was historically mothers’ responsibility. As fathers’ engagement with their young is different from that of mothers, they can forge crucial bonds with their offspring. One would be greatly advantaged to receive a lot of time together with their fathers during their upbringing.

In conclusion, the increasing number of stay-at-home fathers is a result of shifting family dynamics and social beliefs. While this trend can be seen as detrimental to household finances, the opportunities for balanced parenting let me affirm that it is largely positive.

Sample 14:

In contemporary society, many fathers are choosing to stay home and care for their children while mothers pursue careers outside the home. This shift challenges traditional gender roles and raises questions about its implications for families and society. This essay explores the reasons behind this trend and evaluates whether it represents a positive or negative development.

The primary reason for this evolving family dynamic is the changing landscape of gender roles. As societal norms continue to evolve, there is a growing recognition of the importance of gender equality in both professional and domestic spheres. Fathers taking on caregiving roles challenge stereotypes and contribute to a more equitable distribution of responsibilities within families.

Furthermore, economic factors play a significant role in this trend. With the rising cost of living in many urban areas, dual-income households have become necessary for financial stability. Mothers often may have career aspirations, while fathers may prioritise caregiving over traditional career pursuits.

From a positive perspective, this trend fosters enhanced parental involvement and bonding with children. Research shows that fathers' involvement in child-rearing improves children's cognitive and social skills. Moreover, it allows mothers to pursue career goals without compromising family well-being, promoting overall family resilience and harmony.

In conclusion, more fathers staying home to care for children while mothers work signifies a move towards gender equality and shared parenting. This shift meets economic needs and enhances family bonds, fostering stronger parent-child relationships. Despite these challenges, the overall impact is positive, signalling progress towards valuing caregiving roles regardless of gender. This development marks a significant stride towards a more equitable and inclusive future.

Sample 15:

Recently, there has been a significant transition in family dynamics, with an increasing number of fathers assuming the role of primary caregivers while mothers become the primary providers. This shift is influenced by various factors, and I generally view it positively, despite some reservations.

There are several reasons for this change. First and foremost, in households where the woman earns significantly more than the man, flexible childcare arrangements make sense. If one income is sufficient for the family's needs, the mother can pursue her career while the father stays home to care for their young ones. This arrangement ensures proper child-rearing while maintaining financial stability. Moreover, this shift is supported by the belief that women have the right to pursue their careers without the added burden of being the primary caregiver. A flexible distribution of domestic and professional responsibilities would promote respect for women's career aspirations while fostering egalitarian relationships.

Despite some concerns about this trend, I believe it is ultimately positive. Similar to households where men are the sole breadwinners, the critique of women in that role is seen as underutilizing both parents in the workforce. Consequently, if either parent cannot work at full capacity, the family's income could be affected. However, empowering fathers to play an active role in their children's upbringing, traditionally the mother's responsibility, has its benefits. As fathers engage with their children differently than mothers do, they can foster important bonds with their offspring. Children greatly benefit from spending ample time with their fathers during their formative years.

In conclusion, the increasing number of stay-at-home fathers reflects shifting family dynamics and evolving social norms. While some may view this trend as detrimental to household finances, the opportunity for balanced parenting leads me to assert that it is largely positive.

Sample 16:

It is becoming increasingly common for fathers to be primary caretakers while wives develop their careers. I believe this is because of a societal shift in gender relations and it is a positive development.

The most obvious cause of more women in the workplace is modern gender relations. As recently as the 1950s in the United States, it was the unquestioned role of women to cook, clean, and look after the children. Many progressive women began to feel that they were more than their biological prerogative and feminism movements sprouted up in the 1960s. There have been years of struggle, and the wage gap is still a hotly debated issue, but now most reasonable adults accept that both men and women should have equal opportunity to pursue a career.

On the whole, I believe this is a positive development because women can contribute greatly to society. Since women have come into the workforce en masse there are countless examples of high performing professionals including CEOs like Shery Sandberg, athletes like Serena Williams, and authors like Margaret Atwood. ...
