Motherhood- Blog 6
In television today mothers are seen to have the housewife role. She is typically the one is shows to watches the children, cleans the home, does the dishes, and cooks. The man is usually the one that is the bread winner of the family and works while the wife is at home. The only time that you see the woman not being in the housewife role is when she is a single mother. Single mothers aren't very commonly shown on television today. Although, television doesn't show single mothers, it is becoming a increasingly popular situation these days but not necessarily by choice. I think that it is horrible that these show aren't showing other types of families where the woman is the bread winner. By not having women be in other roles some viewers can get an unrealistic view of what the mothers role should be.
