1. A 36 HOURS DAY
Are the women happy with their work-life balance? What is their idea of
perfect happiness these days? Apparently, it might be working less. In fact,
more free time would improve the quality of their lives. They usually work
more than 40 hours a week and they have to face such huge tasks day after
day. But, is it worth it?
Let’s analyse the tasks: looking after the children, cooking, picking up clothes
and tossing them into the hamper, doing the washing, doing the ironing,
thinking about the shopping, taking up a sport (doing exercise help us to stay
young and attractive and even live longer), recycling household waste to
prevent climate change, watching the news to be informed, having a social
life, doing yoga to be relaxed...
In addition, they spend the rest of their time being constantly worried about
possible dangers that might be threatening their children, such as diseases
and accidents. Therefore, they usually don’t have much time for anything
else. Sure?
Women nowadays need to reach the perfection. Should they pay more
attention to fashion? Most of them dislike their appearance, and their
husbands don’t even notice when they have been to the hairdresser’s…
So next time you think you are not perfect, don’t panic, the perfect man
doesn’t exist either.
