Predicament of a Male Teacher

In one of my earlier posts I had put forward the Problems faced by school teachers in General. Now I will put forward the problems faced by a MALE school teacher in Today's times.
We keep hearing that the world is galloping ahead into a new era; new things are happening; people's mindset is changing rapidly....... etc., etc., all true things which are however far from reality.
Take for instance our typical Indian Middle Class family with its middle class mindset... Females (read WIFE) should stay at home and Males(read HUSBAND) should work. Well now imagine what happens if the FEMALE (WIFE) goes out for a 8:30 am to 6:00 pm job and the MALE (HUSBAND) goes to a 7:30 am to 1:30 pm job??? Which means the MALE (HUSBAND) reaches home much ahead of the FEMALE(WIFE). And imagine the predicament of the Husband if he happens to be a SCHOOL TEACHER !!! which is considered as the WOMEN's JOB?????!!!!@!#!@#!$@!$##@%#%

Well trust me friends its real tough life for the Husband specially if he has a MOTHER and a WIFE to handle at the same time.

And you can't even imagine that fateful day when the HUSBAND has a long winter vacations and the WIFE goes out to work in that time. God all hell breaks loose at home.

Outside people say, " Raja wali naukri hai bhai teri. Subah jao and dopahar ko wapas". Ask a teacher who is at the helm of affairs.

And trust me you would not like to be in this situation when you have got some close relatives living nearby.

Well frankly friends I don't think there is another job which can be more fulfilling than Teaching (of course if you love it) and nothing more a troubling profession for you if you happen to be a married man whose wife has a good job requiring long hours and if your relatives live nearby.

Do you know what happens in that case?????

Well some other day I will tell you.
