Should women get paid for being housewives?

[beebella]

How do I become a professional housewife without getting married? 🤔

Yeah, their husbands/wives should give them a weekly allowance

No, they shouldn't get any money for being a housewife

I'm a housewife and my husband/wife always gives me money

I'm a housewife and my husband/wife doesn't give me money

Another opinion/Results

[GreenLanternI0I]

Not to long ago they already were, Husbands were getting them better cars than theirs, whatever their wish list was, they honored it, vacations, nails, bigger house, sending kids to better schools etc... but women didn't like that, in fact they hated that. That's where Women movement has begun, that's why feminism appeared. But now they got Exactly what they wanted, a lot of women not just don't want it anymore, but they hating it, because it is almost impossible to raise a healthy successful kid while trying to be a successful women or run a successful business and this one act that I just mentioned created a whole lot of problems in itself. No time for husband, no time for kids, women taking away men's biological responsibilities (provider, protector, supporter) now men feel useless, so they divorce, that destroys entire family and more problems appear from that act etc...

[Subarugirl]

For a woman to be a stay at home mother, the husband has to make enough to support the family off of just his income and the majority of American don’t make enough to be able to do that.

[GreenLanternI0I]

@Subarugirl Yes, you are 100% Correct and that has been done by design. When families are Strong, neighborhoods become strong, communities become strong etc... That was unacceptable for people who are controlling us. But, if families are broken, that means entire society is broken and it makes controlling and leading people to whatever outcome they have planned, so much easier with almost no resistance.

[Subarugirl]

Hmmm I wonder who makes up the majority of the legislators and government officials?

[Novacane]

@Subarugirl The answer. . . White

[Interstate]

The tradition is the Husband goes off to work and works to bring money home to feed the wife and kids, and the Woman's role is to keep the house and take are of the kids. It is an equal partnership, and just because HER role doesn't include more money in the Checking account every two weeks, doesn't mean she is being unpaid. Just like HIM, SHE is looking out for the welfare of the Family whether or not she sees it that way. Taking care of a Family shouldn't be looked at as, "I should be getting paid for doing what is supposed to be done in the first place".

[Subarugirl]

Well traditions change and fathers are just as capable as staying home too. The thing is though, is that if the "man of the house" wants a stay at home wife, he should have a house and the ability to financially support that prefrence

[Ninaface]

Right, it's equally both their money

[hahahmm]

Now the traditions if for women to work 40-50 hours/week at an office and get grey hair.. working WAY harder than they had to back when traditions were followed. Feminism increased the workload these women have. I guess that's why in countries where women have achieved maximum legal independence and the highest education rates, they choose to be stay at home wives instead of worker bees.

[hahahmm]

*tradition is

[lilyanony1]

I must admit I don't really think it's healthy to be a house wife unless you have house keepers you know people that come to the house to do the jobs, so that you can go out and do things for charity.
Generally speaking though I think it's better to have a little part time work. Not because you need the money but because its good to keep your mind active.
Socially and experience wise.
When you know you dont have to do something you actually move completely different

[Ninaface]

Lmao have housekeepers so you can go do charity. 😂 I've never seen someone who sounds so ignorantly privileged in my life.

[lilyanony1]

Well if that sounds privileged then it is... I don't know very many people or women who can afford to be a housewife.
So i guess if that's the case they can use their privilege for the greater good.

[Ninaface]

That's not what I said. I said housekeepers, which is what you'd said. I don't know many people who are able to afford to have the woman at home and then also afford to hire someone to do all the housework so that the woman can go do charity lmao. The fact that you say it so matter of fact as if everyone can just have housekeepers. That's an upper middle class/upper class stature. Which is fine, but making the assumption that it's practical for everyone when it's not for most people is what I mean by ignorantly privelaged. You have so much casual wealth that you don't even comprehend how the majority of people live, if you did then you wouldn't have said that because you'd know it's not typical at all.

[lilyanony1]

An assumption you made first. I think the poster Bella understood what I meant hence why I have Mho 👍🏾

[melanieeeB]

I don't really think so. Like being a housewife is a full time job! Don't get me wrong here but you aren't working for a company that could pay you and getting paid by your husband is in my eyes and for me totally degrading.
I'm a person who loves to earn my own money and coming from a turkish culture, I would never want to be dependent on a husband like that.

[Subarugirl]

Lol being a house wife sounds like a vacation.

[Anonymous]

There is nothing wrong with being a housewife! My mom is a midwife she stayed a housewife for 10 years ! To raise me and my brother..! Housewife can’t never stay a housewife forever it happened years ago because there wasn’t much to do. However if by the time your housewife-ing job comes to the end and you have saved money you can have your own business etc. you don’t really have to re enter the 8-5pm non sense.
Housewife is not a vacation , it is very tiring. You are all wrong. Do you know how hard it is to raise a child?
Me and my brother we are attached to each other so much and love our family a lot because we were raised with a stay - home mom. My mom is now 55 and she still isn’t working this past years she raised 2 amazing kids and we pay her a salary me and my brother every month. She is like a queen , she is living her European life in the US having small cup of coffee with her friends , speaking her language. Buying clothes. If she wants she is free to work anytime. But she doesn’t have too.
I’m sure she is having this life because we were raised from a housewife mom.
A dr and a successful businessman my brother. We die for each other lol. Well we can blame our blood lineage too being Eastern European can’t help it
🥺

[dede15]

Personally from my opinion, I could share from sides of being married and not married to the person you are becoming a housewife for.
There are live in girlfriends who are housewives that have kids with a man but he never puts a ring on it making her more into a maid than a partner. At that instance, if she is working to move up her status with this man and taking care of things not as his legal wife, he should want to pamper and keep a gem like her around who puts up with it like for example pedicures, manicures, a back massage once every 2 months, etc. All that bending is hard work and not good for the back just like how men with hard labor jobs bend a lot too. Now we may not lift heavy pipes and such but we are lifting other things in the house that may take a toll on our bodies.
If you are married, then that money should be yours equally. You should not have to ask your husband to go pamper yourself. Now if you are being over excessive and wasting it on silly things, it becomes a problem because it is money your husband worked hard for both of y'all to have not just you. The whole allowance thing is usually for super rich men who don't want to be bothered with their wives and focus more on materialistic affection that actual affection.
I would love it if my future husband showed me appreciation surprising me as I go out the door or as we are doing our nightly cuddles says hey baby you know I think you should take some time off and spoil yourself. I know staying home is hard and it is a sacrifice on your social life. Go socialize and then next month let me have my daddy time if you don't mind. I deal with too many things at work and need a break.
Remember it's all about compromise and communication!

[Friendlybro79]

I think the idea of the traditional husband works, like the 50s, the housewife includes the money the husband makes is both theirs. A husband doesn't provide a salary to his wife it's all the same. Depending on the relationship many wives managed the money for the husbands.

She isn't given a salary but has access to the husband's money that they consult each other when wanting things other than needs like food and paying the bills.

In today's day in age, if a couple wants this arrangement, this is a great model to follow because it's simple and people understand responsibilities. I don't think this is typical anymore or necessarily how it should be done but that's not for me to say.

[demonics]

"... without getting married?"

the government would get involved as they need their pound of flesh

The MGTOW movement would love such an arrangement but women insist on voting for bigger and bigger government to rescue them from themselves. "You can't just make arrangements between consenting adults... what if you regret it? No, no, no, we need to be clued in on everything you're doing... plus a nominal fee."

So, no dice.

But to answer your question. You're exchanging your labor for living expenses. Literally getting paid to watch tv and get your meow meow taste tested. Don't like that arrangement, don't get married. Or find some simp you gives you shit simply for existing. Its all up to you. But remember, the tax man is always lurking.

[ChrisMaster69]

So basically it’s paying a woman to tidy the house and give you sex.

i am against the idea of a woman just being at home and not having a career.

the choices are she can go and work, have a career and earn her own cash or I pay her for sex..

[globetrotter22]

Getting “paid” for being a housewife smdh. Alright who is paying the mortgage/rent, utilities, putting food on the table, etc.

For the love of God you live in a 1st world country in the 21st century. Take an extended trip to Afghanistan and you will get to see what real female subjugation is.

Also you are 28 not a impresionable 19 year old college freshman who is getting indoctrinated with far leftist feminist bullshit. But your question is straight out of a feminist textbook.

Oh also speaking of the 21st century there are an increasing number of house husbands out there now. What if they asked for the same thing? Of course they wouldn’t.

[hi_it_is_me123]

Cleaning the house is not the problem. Looking after kids is the big work because kids need every second of your life. They are sucking your life like vampires lol. This is why i think men should look after kids too even if she is a housewife since it is unhealthy for making women look after kids for the whole day. Yes kids also steal your time to sleep. I know women who only sleep few hours due to kids since their husbands dont help them
No traditional bread winner (man) work the whole day, so expecting women to look after kids the whole day is selfish and hypocritical

[HighValue]

What if the man gets up in the night to take care of the kids and is tired at work and gets fired so they all end up homeless? Would that be acceptable? They can both take care of their tent and shopping cart together. :P

Or what about when the kids are school age and she literally does nothing most of the day?

[hi_it_is_me123]

I would not expect from men to look after kids at night. He should sleep at this time. The average person work for 8-9 hours where i live and this means he can look after the kids for few hours. It also depends on what kind of job he has. If it is a hard job, i also would not expect from men to help women. If the kids go to school, the women can work too or be a housewife if she is very traditional

[MzAsh]

Up to you. For me, it’s more about value for value. I don’t enjoy “housewife” duties so for me to actually agree to that role would take a lot of compliance on the part of the man. I would definitely have to find it to be worth it and the stakes would be high.

[horatiohornblower]

You’re married. Your finances should be shared. After accounting for household budget, bills, savings, investments, household wants, vacations, &c. Any leftover money should be available for each spouse to get stuff they want personally.

Basically each should get the same amount of mad money. But they need to come up with an acceptable budget first. Then agree on what is and isn’t a personal purchase.

[Lynx122]

GL :) Well you'd have to sign some kind of contract otherwise you'd just be dependent and that's not a great point to start a relationship at. People will automatically take advantage of you even if they don't mean to or realise it. If you have to always make sure he's happy and he can just not give you money if he wants it will take a toll on you over time and destroy everything. So sign some kind of contract and then you can do it.

[Daniela1982]

What happens if you are a housewife and never work. You are not putting anything into social security so get none at retirement. So after you have been married for 20 years he dumps you. Now what are you going to get except a small social security stipend off him, but not an amount necessary for today's living?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Right. Being a whole time housewife is extremely dangerous position to put yourself in.

For one what if he gets seriously sick and can't work for 6 months to a year?

Suddenly gets laid off and can't find work acustom to his salary, decides to leave you or dies unexpectedly?

Full time housewife is for men that have a ton of money saved up in the bank in which the wife would have access to in case of the worse situation that comes up where she won't be put in a hard predicament unexpectedly.

[Interstate]

@Hispanic-Cool-Guy With the cost of living of today, in most cases the money she makes at her job would just go towards child care anyway. So there would be no point to it.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@Interstate: The reality is the immense majority of men can't provide for a full time housewife and household all on his alone not only in the U. S. but throughout the world which most countries are impoverished to begin with.

In the ancient times it was possible if a man desired a full time housewife because he didn't have to worry about electric bill, mortgage, cars, insurance, health care and are modern day conveniences we now have compared to back then when all they worried about was food to survive.

[Daniela1982]

@Interstate Very true as child care is expensive, if you can even find someone.

[Interstate]

Maybe a family member, that is usually the only way to receive child care without having to pay out.

[Daniela1982]

@Interstate Yes, but that is not fair putting your kid's care on a family member.

[Interstate]

@daniela1982 If they offer then what's the big deal? Or if you ask and they say yes, then it is fair. It isn't as though you are forcing the kids on them.

[Daniela1982]

@Hispanic-Cool-Guy But also in those days the woman worked her butt off caring for large families and helping out on the chores on the farm.

[Daniela1982]

@Interstate How is that being fair? The woman has to work also and then also have the job of getting kids up and ready for school and making breakfast, doing the wash and shopping, etc. Most men come home from work, prop up their feet on the couch in front of the TV and pop open a beer. Few will heal with cleanup and dishes and then she has to put the kids to bed. All the guy has to do is 8 hours while a woman works a job and then work some more when she gets home.

[Interstate]

@daniela1982 If a family member says, "Sure, we'll watch the kids.", I'm not seeing what the problem is! Now if it were me, I would seek help out to a third party first. But if worst came to worst, THEN I would turn to a Family member. That is what I am getting at.

[Interstate]

Disregard my last message. If this Goddamn site used commonsense and provided a delete link, I wouldn't be having this bullshit problem with getting fucking messages mixed up!!! Dumbass website designers!!!

[Interstate]

So I DID respond correctly the first time... how the fuck did this turn from Housewives being paid to who is looking after the kids?

[Daniela1982]

@Interstate No clue. But I have thought I was answering on one thread when I was on another. So you are not the only one.

[Interstate]

@daniela1982 👍👍👍

[slatyb]

An "allowance" ? No matter whether one or both partners are working outside the home, they both need their own money. I work, my wife does not but she takes care of everything else. Washington is a community property state, so the household income is basically half hers. She has an account, I have an account. I put money in her account every month. It's hers, she earned it, I don't know or care what she does with it.

[Miristheiss]

By who?

The key is... it is HER house. She can do with it as she pleases... she can keep it clean or let it get dirty and messy. It is her house. You get paid if you clean OTHER people's homes... they pay you to do that service for them.

Who would be paying a person to clean up their own belongings?

[Anonymous]

And what services does such a housewife provide to the communities?

For instance developers are being paid (or receive donations) based on projects they develop, that we use every day (web browsers, operating systems, network etc...)

I generally like the philosophy of only paying those, who put forth contributions. Kids however are an exception (in fact we would benefit from having jobs for kids if the legal system would not be so fucked up).

Therefore my answer is no. If you want to be paid to be a housewife, then get a job with the title called maid and nanny.

[Apple1996]

The whole point of being a housewife that is married is that y'all would share the same bank account and not have to ask for money/be paid to be a housewife. I never ask for money from my husband cause I'm the one controlling the finances

[MTC29]

You need to be married. My SO gets monthly spousal support (I don't know the amount) from her ex-husband every month. She's 54. They were divorced when she was age 44, and the support money ends when she turns 60.

Sounds like a nice racket to me... but I NEVER said that!!! She deserves all of that money, and more! (Sure, she does).

[Diodoro]

Find a man who can afford that, start the relationship off from the get go as a girl who is ready to be the role of housewife.

Fuck and suck him good. Take care of his place. Make him food. Handle the role on a probationary period. If he wants it he will take you on. Even better that you don't want to get married if the guy is concerned about divorce/prenups and all that

[Kaneki05]

well that's just a maid if you wanna be one while single though it wouldn't be your house.
The problem with been paid as housewife is it would have to come from your husband. No one gets paid to do chores on there own house so the government won't pay you.
The long history of a woman been dependent on husband for money has repeatedly led to time and time again abusive relationships.

[EmbraceThePain]

“Wife” or “wives” implied MARRIED women


So, “without getting married”


Sorry sister, can’t help you there.

[Petermorgan34]

No being a housewife is a choice, and there is nothing wrong with that if the man makes enough money (like if he is a dr or a lawyer and makes enough to live comfortably) but a man shouldn’t give his wife $ for taking care of the home, 1. Its both partners job to maintain the household 2. Her being a house wife gives up an additional salary for the family to live off of. I personally would feel extra stress if my wife did not earn a salary to contribute to our expenses and long term goals.

[HighValue]

Is she going to start paying her half of the mortgage then? How about utilities, transportation, insurance, food, clothing, etc?

Housewives do much less work than a person working full time and benefit from it. Taking care of a house and kids is easy.

[HighValue]

Some lazy person that contributes next to nothing to a relationship disagreed. Not surprised.

[HighValue]

Lets pay her based on the education required. Okay so not even a high school diploma. I guess that means even minimum wage is too much for her. But even at minimum wage, if she had young kids that are toddlers, etc. she would only work 12 hours per week on average. Minimum wage is $14 per hour so that comes to $672 per month she earns.

Now lets bill her for mortgage/rent ($600 per month at least), utilities ($200 per month), food ($150 per month, but if they eat out then it is $300 per month), clothing ($100 to $200 per month), transportation ($150 to $250 per month), medical ($500 per month), dental ($150 per month), vision ($20 per month), etc. Those are conservative figures too. She will end up owing him thousands of dollars each month realistically.

[Wester1967]

According to Sylvia Federici, yes. See her book, Revolution at Point Zero. A UBI basic income would partially cover it. We've decided to more or less as a society to commit psychological suicide by treating women's reproductive labor as unpaid free subsidy to capitalist profit and shareholders. Seriously F that. Less money for the Pentagon, more money for women. Thanks.

[SiberFox]

Why not start a small business and work from home, you'll be a stay at home mom and still be able to keep busy while making money. You could also become a home teacher and teach the kids in your neighbourhood for a fee, and if you have some of your own it could be even better.

[shadowarrior99]

Females think they should and guys don't hmmm... Back then women were paid to stay home and clean. They wanted freedom and this economy doesn't allow it unless one is wealthy. I guess a guy could if they want to use each other but then what kind of relationship is that?

[shadowarrior99]

Also most men won't do that because they want a woman who provides value. Unless they want to use her for... You know

[Agape93]

Absolutely. And I don't mean an allowance or even hourly. Make it a fair salary. Refuse to pay in full and on time? She doesn't do her work for a full week.

[Little_Bumblebee]

If you what to clean, do laundry, and cook for money and other things for money, then you could find a job as some sort of maid or something.

[KrisPW]

Ummm... Wife is kinda in the name. You could be a live in girlfriend I guess, but you wouldn't have any rights to anything.

[SupremeWarlord]

That's a private decision, there's nothing wrong with that, it's just weird if, for example, the husband cannot pay for some reason, or the payments get postponed, what happens now, divorce? Does the wife stop doing housework jobs? Legal threats? I think this is weird, I wouldn't do such a thing.

[BipBipLeddus]

I don't know other people's life situations, but I work for my money and he works for his, and it all just goes into one pile for bills anyway.

[nawtee_me]

Housewife? tends to mean you are married... Otherwise you are single and keeping the house straight and clean for someone else. That is the duty of a maid or house keeper. If it is your house you are talking about and not married then would you pay yourself?

[Anonymous]

A housewife already does if she has a joint bank account with her husband. Otherwise it wouldn't make any sense to because there is no business she is making herself useful for.

[MCheetah]

Only in the 2020s could that thought be taken seriously.

[kamalravi25]

No because all she wants form you is love care n respect.
If you start paying her you will be disrespectful to her.
There won't be any love, it would be business.

[CountessSarah]

What is the difference between being an unmarried housewife and unemployed?
Isn't an unmarried housewife just a single person looking after their own home and tidying up after themselves?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Just being a housewife you could get paid, sure put your name on the lease, help control a big guy's diet so he reaches his goal hahaha!!!

[TheorionMage]

You ARE a 'partnership'... legally and fiscally! HOW you 'divide up' the money management
is immaterial so long as all the bases are covered.

[hahahmm]

I think they do get paid in Brazil. I think it's only fair if the amount she's paid is subtracted from what she can get in the divorce. Every single dime.

[Aerissa_Jade]

How to become a professional housewife, marry a rich polygamist and become wife # whatever.

Those with money, will give you a budget and your own house to run.

[sage2021]

There are men in my area called "Rent-a-husband." It's a real business. There are so many single women who need a handyman when they need repairs on all sorts of things. Why not "Rent-a-wife?"

[Anonymous]

Yes, it should be paid by unmarried women and men who have all the high paying jobs since we are raising the people who will be paying for their retirement and health care. It should be paid to the housewife and it should be 40% of everyone’s gross wages. Once it’s paid to the housewife, then it should be split equally between the husband and wife since it’s an equal partnership.

[Quigly]

They already do, you can save a lot of money on child care and other things by staying home and being a housewife. It's not hard to save more money than you can make.

[sean1234]

Should married mothers pay other people to take care of her kids? They mostly taught their kids and not the government controlled schools. It's such a shame women aren't women anymore.

[sean1234]

As I said to another... and her husband is going to work and make money for that family as well?

[sean1234]

Oh that makes no sense, lol. I mean is a maids husband is going to work and make money for that family as well? This world has gone mad.

[bannacookies]

Get paid for loafing around the house? That's silly. If you're capable to work, work.

[dolemite89]

I thought their payment was not having to work a real job and getting to stay home 😂

[LinaDaGoddess]

For the people saying we shouldn’t be paid for it… why? Nanny’s are paid to do it… why can’t it be seen as a job for us as well?

[annabananna]

Because nanny’s are doing what they do for a family that is not theirs. A marriage is a partnership.

[HighValue]

If she gets paid, then the man should bill her for half the mortgage/rent, utilities, food, transportation, etc. And with the real amount of hours of work she does (very little) she would end up owing him money every month and have nothing.
They could even do an experiment where he does all the housework for one month. However many hours it takes him is all the hours she will get credit for each month. It will amount to 6 to 12 hours per week, so she definitely will end up owing him lots of money each month.

[annabananna]

The amount of work put in really varies per household. Most women with children will put in way more hours than that. It takes me 8 hours a week just to do laundry.

[HighValue]

@annabananna
You don't put in a load and then go do something else? It only takes 5 to 6 minutes to put in a load of laundry with detergent and set the timer. No need to wait around while it washes.
Within 1 hour I can put in a load of laundry, wash the dishes, and take a 10 minute break while it finishes, then for the next hour have it in the dryer (you can start a new load in the washer at the same time) and then clean the restrooms (2 restrooms). Then when the first load is finished drying, let it set out for 10 minutes to cool, fold it in about 20 minutes, then sweep and mop the entrance way of the house and put the supplies away. So in 3 hours all of that is done.

There isn't laundry to do each day and the restrooms don't need cleaning every day either. It is so easy from what I have experienced and seen. Even my mom used to get stuff done quick like that when I was growing up too. Once kids are school age it should be extremely easy to be a stay at home parent.

Why do you have so much laundry? Do you have lots of kids? My parents only had two kids and we had to clean up after ourselves/not leave a mess around the house or get whipped. I think they had 4 loads of laundry per week and only did it one day per week.

[annabananna]

It takes time to fold and iron with 5 people in the house and kids are extremely messy. You are highly underestimating the time it takes to manage a full household correctly.

[HighValue]

@annabananna Then I guess my mom was magic because it didn't take her that long at all. And we didn't iron our clothes normally.

Kids staying messy is just bad household management/discipline of the kids. I always picked up after myself. No clothes or toys left out, no dishes left out after eating, etc.

[annabananna]

Are you a parent?

[HighValue]

@annabananna Why? It disqualifies me from anything I see and experience if I am not?
How about leading a class of 24 to 27 students for years and managing all of them that totaled hundreds of kids over the years? Does that now mean that parents that only took care of their 3 kids have no qualifications too?

[annabananna]

I have worked at a preschool and taken care of multiple children at once as well and I can honestly say that being a teacher and raising children are two different things. If you think it only takes 6-12 hours you just don’t understand the time it takes. If I only spent that amount of time I would have to call myself negligent.

[HighValue]

@annabananna
Well some people are good and efficient at what they do and others aren't. And most people greatly exaggerate what it takes to take care of kids.

[HighValue]

And preschool is nothing like normal teachers for 2nd grade through 6th. Preschool and Kindergarten are much more like babysitting a large group than it is like being a teacher of the other grades.

[annabananna]

I’m sure you’re a blast. Lol

[HighValue]

@annabananna What do you mean? Telling the truth is bad? Not catering to people that don't accomplish much is bad?

[annabananna]

No, you’re arguing with someone about how much time it takes to do something that you have never done like you know everything to someone that is doing it. Also, with preschool you are teaching. It’s not the same things but it is still teaching. If you do that with everyone im sure you’re a blast to be around. There’s a difference between telling the truth and arrogance

[Casey_Black]

My husband doesn't "give me money." Our bank account is shared, as it should be. Once we got married, everything that was his became ours and everything that was mine became ours.

[GaGirls]

Oh that's easy, just get married. The wife owns half of everything. Strange it would be if one paid another for house work while dating. @beebella

[Iron_Man]

You get a free house to live in no bills you have to do house work for life and cook

[Iron_Man]

House work is not that big of a deal once you have the house maintained doesn’t take that long to tidy it up. And cook a halfway decent meal. That’s not too much to offer for free room and board for the rest of your life. If you want extra spending money get a part-time job

[Iron_Man]

If your house is all paid off then you’ve got it made in the shade. All you have to worry about is property taxes

[WarningWarning]

I completely agree unless your husband is a monster and abuses you for 22 years and said those same things to me. But makes me quit a job. I clean cook take care of finances. But I am not allowed to buy things for myself.

[Iron_Man]

@WarningWarning that’s awful sorry to hear that

[WarningWarning]

It’s all good. Just sharing. I do see your point.

[Iron_Man]

@WarningWarning Awe thanks

that's for the couple to decide for themselves, if you find someone who's preferable way to live is compatible with yours then problem solved

I work full time, raise my kid and cook and clean….. being a stay at home mom sounds like a vacation honestly.

[Adam1978]

No that is completely pointless in a shared economy. Should she pay him for being the provider?

[Ukrainianbuddafly]

I personally feel like if you are getting room and board as well as all needs met then why?

[Jazziqueen98]

You could be a sugar baby. Who would pay them? The government? Would they get paid more based on how many kids they have? Yeah that's already a thing.

[jahaims]

Having her half of the bills paid for her is her payment.

[Baredog69]

I think not having to go to work should be payment enough. Women's lib in my opinion the worst thing that ever happened to a woman. You can't have it both ways.

[exitseven]

Yes, democrats may as well throw it on the Build Back Better wish list. We can always just print more money.

[Twalli]

Which will devalue our currency

[exitseven]

@Twalli No Biden and Janet Yellen claim that the more money you print the more we will stop inflation. Thay would not lie about that,

[NathanDavis]

what even is a housewife? in this context

[beebella]

A married woman who doesn't have a job, but takes care of things around the house.

[NathanDavis]

isn't that a housekeeper, a maid?

[beebella]

I suppose. 🤣

[NathanDavis]

I know of a few people your age, my age and also older... that have this kind of arrangement, the man has a good enough job or business so they do provide financially, and then woman does run everything else around the house, some with kids others with no kids... sometimes it works for them sometimes does not

[NathanDavis]

@beebella happy holidays by the way!!

wishing you the best and may you find the One and the way you want it... lol

I’m a housewife. My husband doesn’t give me an allowance but household money is for the household. I get what I need and have access to credit cards.

[Anonymous]

A housewife should have access to the funds earned by her husband. If you want to be a paid housewife you should become a maid, governess, or nanny.

[Shamalien]

Does anyone actually love eachother anymore? This question isn’t even important. You marry, you are a single unit, the idea of a wage is absurd the more I think about it.

[GaGirls]

That's what I was thinking. I mean she already owns half of everything so it would literally make no sense at all.
