Q3. Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follows: (15)
There was a time when all house-work was done by the women or girls of the household. Few husbands
ever dreamt of washing up, preparing breakfast or tending the baby. Such duties were no concern of
theirs. And normal school boy assumed that if help were needed in the home, his sisters would be called
on to give it. The whole family supported the view that the male child could not or should not clean,
mend, wash, cook or make beds.
Things are very different today. Doctors or barristers find nothing shameful in putting on an apron to
help in the kitchen or nursery and even boast of being good at washing of clothes and personal linen.
The school boy is more often now than formerly expected to help his mother. One reason for the
change is the shortage of domestic servants. Girls could once be found to do the hard work in middle
and upper class homes for very moderate wages. Such girls nowadays work in factories. They earn more
money than most householders can afford to pay. Thus the wife now does the househeld work herself
with the aid of labour saving machines; and she expects some help from her husband.
