Being a Stay-at-Home Dad
Gladys: Hi, Dan. I’m surprised to see you here at the supermarket in the middle of the day.
Dan: Why?
Gladys: I thought you’d be working.
Dan: I am working. I’m a stay-at-home dad and I take care of the kids while my wife goes to work.
Gladys: Oh, did you get laid off from your job?
Dan: No, my wife works full-time 1 out of the house and I work full-time at home.
Gladys: You mean that your wife is the breadwinner and you’re a househusband?
Dan: If you want to put it that way, yes. I’m the caretaker for the kids during the day and I do the household chores.
Gladys: Oh, your wife must be a feminist 2.
Dan: No, my wife is just a modern woman with modern sensibilities.
Gladys: Well, I know that some families like to live radical 3 lifestyles these days, changing up gender 4 roles.
Dan: We don’t think of it as radical. In fact, it’s quite common nowadays.
Gladys: if you say so. Tell your wife I’d be happy to share my recipes with her when you go back to work and she’s a housewife again.
Dan: [sigh]
Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
- A full-time job may be too much for her.全天工作她恐怕吃不消。
- I don't know how she copes with looking after her family and doing a full-time job.既要照顾家庭又要全天工作，我不知道她是如何对付的。
- She followed the feminist movement.她支持女权运动。
- From then on,feminist studies on literature boomed.从那时起，男女平等受教育的现象开始迅速兴起。
