Family life in the United States is changing. Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called a
“housewife”. She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money for
the family. He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not
do much housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.
These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with the
children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening
cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So
who is going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?

Then there is the question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from
grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents are often too
far away to help in a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help
may be a babysitter or a day-care center. The problem with this kind of help is the high cost. It is
possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.

Parents may get another kind of help from the companies they work for. Many companies now let
people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their children.
Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men, there
is a new word: they are called “househusbands”. In the USA more and more men are becoming
househusbands every year.

These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their
children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also
find changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.

Question 23: This article is about ___________.

A. American men as househusbands B. housewives in America
C. how more American women are working D. how family life in America is changing
