Househusbands
Dear Editor,
I read with interest the article on American families. In general I agree with it, but there are some important things it left out. It didn't tell the reader much about the life of a househusband. It's not an easy life. I know, because I'm now a househusband myself. A househusband has to change many of his ideas and his ways.
First of all, he has to change the way he thinks about time. Before I was a househusband, I worked full-time for the New York Times. I was a reporter, and time was always important. We had to finish our article quickly and give them to the editor. Everyone was always in a hurry. This is the way, many other men work, too. Businessmen, lawyers, bankers, and doctors all have to work quickly.
At home it's different. The househusband cannot be in a hurry all the time. If you rush around, you will make everyone unhappy! The children will be unhappy because they don't understand. For them, time is not important. Your wife will be unhappy because the children are unhappy. You will be unhappy, too, because they are all unhappy. So you have to learn to slow down. That is the first and most important rule for a househusband.
There is something else the househusband must learn. You must learn to show how you feel about things. At work, men usually do not talk about feelings. If they do, people think they are strange. So, many men are not used to telling anyone about their feelings. They do not know how to talk about their anger, worries, or love. But children need to know how you feel. They need to know how much you love them. If you are angry, they need to know why. Your wife also needs to know about your feelings. If you do not say anything, your family may get the wrong idea. Then there may be serious problems.
People talk a lot about househusbands these days. Usually they talk about men doing the housework, the cooking, cleaning, and shopping. But in my opinion, these are the easiest things to learn. It was much harder for me to change the way I think and the way I act with my family. I think, other men will also find this harder, but, like me, will find it necessary if they want to have a happy family!

Dịch hộ mình :
Tell me something , girl
Are you happy in this modern world ?
Or do you need more
Is there something else you're searching for
I'm falling
In all the good time I find myself longing for change
And in the bad time I fear myself
Tell my something , boy
Aren't you tired trying to fill that void ?
Or do you need more
Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore
I'm falling
In all the good time I find myself longing for change
And in the bad time I fear myself
I'm off the deep end , watch as I dive it
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface , where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now

Nói với tôi đi, cô gái Bạn có hạnh phúc trong thế giới hiện đại này không? Hay bạn cần thêm Có cái gì khác bạn đang tìm kiếm không tôi đang ngã Trong tất cả thời gian tốt đẹp, tôi thấy mình khao khát thay đổi Và trong thời gian tồi tệ, tôi sợ chính mình Nói với tôi vài điều Bạn không mệt mỏi khi cố lấp đầy khoảng trống đó sao? Hay bạn cần thêm Không khó để giữ nó quá khó tôi đang ngã Trong tất cả thời gian tốt đẹp, tôi thấy mình khao khát thay đổi Và trong thời gian tồi tệ, tôi sợ chính mình Tôi đang đi đến tận cùng, hãy quan sát khi tôi lặn Tôi sẽ không bao giờ gặp mặt đất Đâm qua bề mặt, nơi họ không thể làm tổn thương chúng ta Bây giờ chúng ta đang ở xa
