I wouldn't mind it if he's stable of enough to take care of the household. But at the sametime i worry about not having my own money because back in the day a lot of men could get up and leave their wife and children behind with nothing if they wanted to. I don't want that to end up happening if I chose to be housewife- If i don't have to worry about that sort of situation then i have no problems taking on that role.
Personally, I wouldn't want to. I don't find any fulfillment in cleaning the house and cooking and all that stuff, I just don't want my work to be done in the home. While I'm sure part of me would enjoy being able to spend the day at home I think that eventually, I'd get bored stiff.
1. Never said they were. There are many women who find fulfillment in being a housewife and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, I find it admirable if a woman does enjoy doing that, it's just personally not for me.
2. I don't feel like I have to be like a man to be worth something, I feel like the assumption that that's why many women want to work/wouldn't want to be a housewife is a really rude one. I'm a woman, not a man, and I absolutely love being a woman and love my femininity. I think it's beautiful. However, being a woman doesn't mean that I can't enjoy throwing myself into the work that I'm passionate about and love doing and it doesn't mean that the more appropriate place for me to be is in the home.
I’m currently a stay-at-home wife, but on top of managing the house, I also homeschool our two school-aged children, and care for our younger toddler and infant. I enjoy it, as I’m not much of a people person. It definitely is a lot of work though!
No honestly, I really really like being busy. And not watching kids/tending to my imaginary husband busy. I like being in the move and working. I don't mind settling down years from now but even then if I don't have work outside of family and my home, I'll lose my mind.
YESSS! :D I would love to be a housewife anyday!! I would consider myself so lucky if i could afterall that is the role of of a woman and i want to do that role plus with a full time job I won't be able to do my role as well as i should :(
I would happily persue my career whilst looking after the house. I don't want to just be a house wife, I would want/ need to work. However I like things to be tided my way and so it would be easier for me to just look after the house.
I would rather be both, an independent career woman and a housewife. But overall, it depends on you want to do. No one has the right to criticize your choice. Plus no women should feel they are making bad choices and feel guilty about it. And sometimes, people should stop commenting them based on her decision. What’s even more annoying is people won’t stop judging about it.
I’d LOVE to work from my home, anyone’s home for that matter, both for money and to be around my litter lol. So fuck yeah, hate going outside and dealing with the annoying ass populous.
And this notion of women at home aren’t ambitious or can’t/don’t have “lives” is bullshit. They get to leave the house and have some fun too, they’re not confined to being in their homes 24/7. House wife is not the same as a slave, you loonies lol.
Well umm I don’t really want to rely on someone else’s son to provide everything for me. Like I want to at least be able to buy things for myself if he’s taking care of most other things like bills and mortgage. I don’t want to go and beg someone else’s son for everything.
If at least keep a part time job to save my own money and buy my husband gifts that he wouldn’t know about. Having your own money and bank account while being a housewife is true freedom. If he’s rich, sign a prenup in your favour so if the relationship go sour you can still maintain your current lifestyle 😉
I wanted my new bride to work so we could have a BMW... shallow, right. Anyway, she grew up with a working mom and dad and she didn’t want that for our children. She stayed home and I worked harder and smarter. It was the best decision overall. They kids turned out great and we are a happy family.
I’d still rather have a job. I’m not going to waste the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on my education and give up my financial independence to clean a house and go to spin class or whatever. I need a purpose.
Keeping the house clean and cooking for him are not that important. Any able-bodied person can do it and he could even do it himself. If he’s rich he could easily hire someone and a professional would do a way better job than me anyway. Being a housewife is technically a purpose but not an important or valid one for me personally. I wouldn’t feel like I was doing something very meaningful or helpful.
They’re so time-consuming and expensive, and even the parts of parenting that are supposed to be fun and rewarding look tedious. I don’t see the appeal.
Well tbh, we aren't going to undo 50 years of propaganda. Any guy who thinks that is fooling himself. Also finding a girl who understands this is probably going to be hard to find.
My advice is always to be the best man possible. Work hard, be an active member in their community, and find a woman who suits you best. But dont expect to find a house wife. Just start with a wife, and make babies with her and make sure the babies dont consume the same garbage propaganda.
I will never have kids anyway, and without them I would probably even get bored and have not much to do. I want for me and my husband to work so we can spend our life time travelling and having fun. It requires money
I make the money I spend, no exceptions. So I require myself to be working. I have two jobs I enjoy so much that I’d do them for free if that was the case. Nothing can keep me from doing what I love. Not even a rich man.
I wanna keep my career. Unless he can afford to support me maybe but I still wanna work and earn by my own. I love to pamper myself at the hair saloon, spa and beauty centres which won't be fair for him to pay.
I don't know, I just don't feel comfortable asking money from him for this beauty purpose because I am the one who is going to benefit it. He can pay for dates and other things.
I do like the idea of making manga books or making anime as part of my life but when it comes to having a family I hope I would be a stay at home mother for a few years with the baby because I'm not sure on a sitter when very young unless I got a trustworthy family member who can watch the baby while I work if I had no choice

Actually. They couldn't just leave.
The modern marriage laws, that makes it terrible for men to marry. Are for a time when women usually didn't have their own income.
Personally, I wouldn't want to. I don't find any fulfillment in cleaning the house and cooking and all that stuff, I just don't want my work to be done in the home. While I'm sure part of me would enjoy being able to spend the day at home I think that eventually, I'd get bored stiff.
Remember that you would the freedom and time to have several hobbies. So I doubt you would be bored ✌🏻
Would have*
Hobbies don't bring the same fulfillment and enjoyment I get from doing my job and doing it well though :/
Besides my favourite hobbies are reading and gaming and, as much as I love them, I don't feel like I want to do them every single day all day :P
I really don't think every housewife in history was bored out of their mind. They were extremely important to healthy communities.
And now, women feel like they have to be like men, to be worth anything. Kinda sad 😕

I know how much this change has damaged our society. The negatives outweigh the positives by a lot.
And it's not as if I don't accept women working. It's too late to go back, sadly. So it's just a fact of our modern life
If you say so ✌️

So fucking true 😂

I would love work from home and be someone's wife. Especially if I have a kid or kids.
🙏🏻🙏🏻

I would love too! Remember the show I Love Lucy? I wanna be just like that :) I love traditions.
Me too 😊
I’d still rather have a job. I’m not going to waste the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on my education and give up my financial independence to clean a house and go to spin class or whatever. I need a purpose.
That is also a purpose. A very important one at that
Keeping the house clean and cooking for him are not that important. Any able-bodied person can do it and he could even do it himself. If he’s rich he could easily hire someone and a professional would do a way better job than me anyway. Being a housewife is technically a purpose but not an important or valid one for me personally.

Being a housewife is about having kids and creating a community
I don’t want kids so that part doesn’t matter to me.
Why?
I don’t like them and they make it so much more difficult to go about your daily life unless you have a nanny to deal with them.
That's sad
Not really. Not everyone has to like or want kids.
I guess 👀
They’re so time-consuming and expensive, and even the parts of parenting that are supposed to be fun and rewarding look tedious. I don’t see the appeal.
Finally someone who gets it! It was all about lowering wages. Not about making women "empowered"
Women here are obviously too far gone though.
Well tbh, we aren't going to undo 50 years of propaganda.
Any guy who thinks that is fooling himself.
Also finding a girl who understands this is probably going to be hard to find.

Hear hear
I will never have kids anyway, and without them I would probably even get bored and have not much to do. I want for me and my husband to work so we can spend our life time travelling and having fun. It requires money
Yeah, modern society requires you both to work, for your dreams to come true
I make the money I spend, no exceptions. So I require myself to be working. I have two jobs I enjoy so much that I’d do them for free if that was the case. Nothing can keep me from doing what I love. Not even a rich man.
That's fair
I wanna keep my career. Unless he can afford to support me maybe but I still wanna work and earn by my own. I love to pamper myself at the hair saloon, spa and beauty centres which won't be fair for him to pay.
I think he would love to pay for it though. Lol
I don't know, I just don't feel comfortable asking money from him for this beauty purpose because I am the one who is going to benefit it. He can pay for dates and other things.
He will benefit from a beautiful and relaxed you
My intent is to work my career for a bit have two kids stay at home until they are in kindergarten and then return to work So I want both tbh
I do like the idea of making manga books or making anime as part of my life but when it comes to having a family I hope I would be a stay at home mother for a few years with the baby because I'm not sure on a sitter when very young unless I got a trustworthy family member who can watch the baby while I work if I had no choice
