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!

Cảm thấy theo cách của tôi qua bóng tối
Được hướng dẫn bởi một trái tim đang đập
Tôi không thể biết cuộc hành trình sẽ kết thúc ở đâu
Nhưng tôi biết nó bắt đầu từ đâu
Họ nói với tôi rằng tôi còn quá trẻ để hiểu
Họ nói tôi bị cuốn vào giấc mơ
Cuộc sống tốt đẹp sẽ vượt qua tôi nếu tôi không mở mắt ra
Tôi ổn thôi
Hãy đánh thức tôi dậy khi mọi việc qua đi
Khi tôi khôn hơn và già hơn
Tất cả thời gian này tôi đã tìm thấy bản thân mình
Và tôi không biết mình đã mất [x2]
Tôi đã cố gắng mang trọng lượng của thế giới
Nhưng tôi chỉ có hai bàn tay
Tôi hy vọng tôi có cơ hội du lịch thế giới
Và tôi không có bất kỳ kế hoạch nào
Tôi ước rằng tôi có thể ở lại mãi mãi Không sợ nhắm mắt lại
Cuộc sống là trò chơi dành cho mọi người
Và tình yêu là một giải thưởng
Vì vậy, đánh thức tôi dậy khi nó kết thúc
Khi tôi khôn hơn và già hơn
Tất cả thời gian này tôi đã tìm thấy bản thân mình
Và tôi không biết mình đã mất
Tôi không biết mình đã mất.
