Unit2 A Woman’s place is in the home
if, by chance, i find another person more suitable as a wife than the wife i already have, i have the liberty to replace my present wife with another one. naturally, i will expect a fresh, new life; my wife will take the children and be solely responsible for them so that i am left free.
when i am through with school and have a job, i want my wife to quit working and remain at home so that my wife can more fully and completely take care of a wife's duties.
my god, who wouldn't want a wife?

the poles want the housewife to receive a salary
contributed by: agnieszka mrozik, poland national vaw monitor
women who give up their career in order to raise children and do the housework should get a salary – this is what 82 per cent of respondents, who took part in the tns obop survey, answered. the survey was made to “dziennik’s” order.
according to the daily, this solution is not well-perceived by politicians and that is why it will not be turned into action. “we have to resist the temptation of populism; we cannot afford this” – says elżbieta radziszewska, the member of the civic platform.
the central statistical office has recently calculated that the polish housewife’s monthly work is worth 1205 pln (402 usd). the survey proves that the poles would accept even a lower salary for housewives – 1000 pln (333 usd).
“but who would supply the money transferred to the housewives’ bank accounts? now 85 per cent of polish large families need the state’s helping hand and 50 per cent of all families get social welfare, which costs 14 billion pln. where would we get more?” – asks joanna kluzik-rostkowska, the deputy minister of labour. marian piłka, the member of law and justice, nods in agreement with kluzik-rostkowska’s words. according to him, longer maternity leaves and tax relief for young families are more important than a salary for housewives.
“people do not understand that this solution will reduce their incomes, as it will affect the tax rate. is a nurse ready to pay additional 150 pln in order to give it to her unemployed friend who raises her kids?” – asks elżbieta radziszewska.
but prof. macin król, a philosopher, historian and publicist, says that instead of complaining about the lack of money a solution thst does not so overload the state’s budget should be found. “10 years ago i called for a salary for housewives, because housework is a normal job. i do not know how to solve this problem, but we should publicly talk about this idea” – he convinces the readers of “dziennik”.
