 Women in Families
 Role reversal has not really become popular. Couples who swap roles are still few and 
far between. Is that because women are better at rearing children? Or are men just afraid to 
resist tradition?
 The isolation was the worst thing, said Andrew Timpson, who left teaching to take care 
of his home and children for two and a half years.
 The idea of swapping roles - for the father to stay at home while mum goes out to work - 
is still a relatively new one. In the 70s it sounded like a great idea. Let the newly liberated 
women make progress with her career while the New Man stays at home and takes care of 
the house and children.
 Now, 10 years or so later, it seems as if we were a little premature. A recent report by the 
Family Policy Studies Center concludes: "Despite important social changes, particularly 
greater female employment, it is still women in families who undertake the great bulk of 
house-work, cooking, child-care and taking care of elderly relatives - The much hyped 
New Man remains a rare species. Certainly some would argue that a man cannot replace a 
mother - that mum is the natural homemaker, while dad is the provider. Some men might 
give help with shopping and cooking, but most would do little more. Some men even 
believe that doing housework is an insult to their masculinity. Others, like Andrew, want 
to stay at home - but with reservations. Andrew, who is now about to return to work, says, 
"I don't know that I could have continued doing it for the rest of my life. I enjoyed it, but I 
do want to support my family and I do want to work. I thought I could handle being 
dependent on Maureen, but it proved to be tough for both of us." Maureen says, "I've got a 
job I really love. Continuing working has allowed me to fulfill my potential."
 For many couples who swap roles, traditional attitudes are a major problem. Frank and 
Joan Roberts found that they were confronted with strong views when Frank left his job to 
look after Michael, five, while Joan continued with her career. Frank says, "It is not 
socially acceptable where we live. People here are reared to believe that the man goes out 
to work and woman stays at home."

year.
D. Fathers have to stay at home to take care of thefr children because they are no longer 
the provider.

A. at present, women still do most of the housework
B. many women change their traditional roles, because there are many jobs created for
