Woman, why do you want to work? Wouldn't it be better to live home with kids?

Question

If your reason is the economy, would you support more policies that help making a family viable with a single income?

Honestly, that sounds like hell... (Hell might be a strong word, but I don't know what else to say).

I don't want to stay hoe, having to live my life for others. Picking socks up fro the floor and have a never ending cycle of taking care of children, doing house chores, never have time for myself, and never earn my own money, being dependent on a man, where he could use that fact against me.

No thank you.

When I have a job, and I see I get my paycheck every month, I feel a sense of accomplishment. I love being able to pay with y own money.

And I love having a job where I can grow and feel like I'm becoming a more competent person.
Every time I've had a job, I was growing as a person.

I love spending time with my kid, but she shouldn't stay home all every day any more than I should. It's not healthy. 40 hour work weeks are bs but that doesn't mean 0 hours work is good either. I would go crazy if I wasn't allowed to work or build career outside the home.

& i wouldn't want that for my daughter either. She should be able to pursue whatever life she wants, whether that is stay at home or be the president of the country. & should be able to choose what kind of family she wants to build too, whether she wants to have many kids or no kids.

Unfortunately staying home and raising kids is work as well so either way she is still working but the real reason she works is because 2 incomes is better than one , being with a girl that works with you is better than a girl that works against you , I only date Girls’ that are independent that can take care of themselves , over a girl that is just looking to use you.

Well these days inflation is at roof

Two people earning is much good rather than giving the load to one person

Moreover women these days want to be self depended and show that they can also work and live the life on their on terms

CupcakeTheDestroyer · Answer

I would much rather be a single-income no kids (SINK) than a mother, at that point that means I’m only responsible for myself

Agape93 · Answer

1. I don't want marriage.

2. I fucking hate kids.

3. I hate being stagnant.

4. I actually enjoy working for what I have. My guns are mine. My property is mine. My home is mine. My dogs are mine. Everything is all mine. I earned it, myself. I take pride in it.

I already stay at home, it's miserable. I'm ready to get outside of this house and actually try to figure out what jobs I like. One of which in the future I will be set up with once I find one that I can say "Yes, I love this and I'd like to do this!" As for kids, that'd be the most problematic thing ever, being a mom is not the greatest idea for me. It's better to see the world and be out in it. Since in a house you only have a limited time to be out in the world before you have to go back inside.

Sounds good but I work because no attractive Indian man able to afford a high standard of living is willing to marry a woman who is a “burden” and doesn’t contribute financially. Literally no Indian doctor, engineer etc. would marry such a woman no matter how beautiful. I am surprised that Western men want such a woman and I wish I were in the West. Here guys would even marry a 30+ woman older than themselves if she earns well

mandyfire98 · Answer

Because I love my job and my career. I wouldn't feel right just staying at home all of the time. I would hate that life.

susie22 · Answer

Probably because I'm one of the fortunate people who loves their job and looks forward to doing it every day. I worked very hard to get to this point in my career and I'm very proud of that.

Why would anyone want to live with kids and a washing machine behind four walls 24/7.  No animals so far ever did that on earth , so why this torture now?

Apple1996 · Answer

I already don't work and stay home with my kids everyday. Tbh it's way more work than having a actual job but it's worth it to be able to be the one raising my kids instead of throwing them in daycare. And daycare cost way to much so we wouldn't be able to afford it even if I wanted to work

Account · Answer

Because to me being financially depended on someone is loss of control over my entire being. I am not trustful and I am certainly not naive.

TsundereMatrix · Answer

I’ve lost a few jobs over the past few years and found myself to be very bored with the extra free time while job searching. A job keeps me busy and I feel like I actually have a life. I don’t have kids but I do have pets and I even get bored of them sometimes.

In_Trance · Answer

I don't think anybody wants to work male or female; we have to work

Unap0logetic_ · Answer

Yes, I’d love to stay home and focus solely on my kids. But in today’s time, it’s not that realistic anymore.

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

I already stay at home a lot during my free time. Without a job I wouldn't be updated on what's happening in the world. Also more financial stability if both of us had our income.

Brittanyroseee · Answer

I wouldn’t enjoy that. I like to work and make money. I also don’t want to spend it on someone else. I also am not motherly.

Peridot25 · Answer

I rather work than spend the rest of life being a parent. I couldn’t handle that. I wouldn’t get that much freedom if I had kids.
