It's not something that's anywhere near normal in Sweden unless you're comitted religiously to a tradition where you're 'supposed' to be a housewife, which is uncommon yet still present.
But I believe in support in learning the skills required to do that too. Usually it's better to support in their interests to make sure they can thrive with their identity or life-choices, it makes for good family-relations. I'm sure if she changes her mind then there is some useful lessons there too.
I'd recommend her to take cooking lessons, household-economy, psychology and like other basic courses that would make her well rounded to fit into a healthy support-role.
And if she decides to go another direction later, you know there are lesser workplaces where those skills are useful too, minimum pay is still something to survive on here and can be a 'good enough' compliment to her partner.
Here in Sweden, college or "further education" is payed by the government as an investmen for the general good of the nation, skilled labour is always needed. So she can always start getting another education if need be, with minimal loans for rent and food, or just have a summerjob.
Alongside supporting, I would encourage her to be a housewife.
Yes and she must also have other useful skills to past on to her future children.
stay at home moms jobs are much more important and not being paid.
1. cook 2. clean 3. Know how to manage finances for the household to become better than the current or past 4. Teach kids manners. 5. Be an emotional support to the husband. 6. Be a good communicator to the kids and the husband 7. Be able to kow how to entertain the family and friends. 8. teach kids cooking, cleaning skills … it’s a job that’s worth $500k a year.…
those I don’t enougar are girls want to grow up and be stay home moms and have the tv on all day for the kids
put kids on the iPads. House a mess, She has no clue how to manage bills, gets the family into debts…etc…
so men… Becareful when picking out that woman to be your kids mom.
no. be your own person. your whole life doesn't depend on taking care of your husband who is more than able to do so himself. get your own job. make your own money. you don't want to be stuck with no money if things go south. seriously. that's the worst mistake you can make is just staying at home all day with no job, no experience, no path in life, no real purpose...

What a child or even a teenager sets as a goal usually doesn't indicate what they will do as an adult, career-wise. I would listen politely and forget about it.
Of course, as a parent, I want my children to be who and what they want to be.
u Absolutely! More women need to accept that challenge and accept the reality that it is the most meaningful thing they can accomplish in their lives!
If I'd had a daughter I'd support what ever she wanted to do. There is nothing wrong with a woman wanting to be a housewife, no matter what Feminists would have you believe it can be one of the toughest jobs on the planet, especially when there are children in the household, on top of the housework, paying bills, etc, she is also is the primary teacher for those children getting them started with the basics of manners, writing and maths long before they get to a school, and add cooking & baking, If it was not for my mother and grandmothers I would not have been as independent as I turned out to be.
She can do what she'd prefer, but I admit I'd be a little disappointed.
I have one daughter and two on the way (twins), and I'm already seeing them as doctors, politicians, lawyers or working in the family company - we are already setting up trust funds and accounts for their future education.
However they choose, I'll always put my personal feelings aside and support them - I just hope that at least one of them will become the heir I look for, otherwise I'll pick my half-brother.
Depends on what you call 'support'. If she is really young it would be nothing more than just playing pretend with her (not much more you can do at that point). If she sticks with it for a while and is a bit older the support will become legit. That's also the point where I will give her some important information, just so she can make sure it's what she wants. It's no different from most other ambitions really.
It’s not as cut and dry as you make it seem. My grandfather told my mom (back in the early 70s) she needed to be able to support herself because one never can predict the future; death, divorce, etc. My dad was a police officer and there were many times his life was put in jeopardy. If she had no skills, nothing marketable, she could be destitute. Always ensure you can support yourself no matter the situation. I’ve echoed these same things to my daughter but she doesn’t want to be a mom or a housewife. Still applies though.
Naturally I'd support her , but I would also run though all the positives and negatives with her , fortunately there is zero chance of that actually happening , as neither of them looks like even giving birth.
Yes & like anything u support her on, I'd try and help her be prepared, and safe, and have a backup plan. Unfortunately being a housewife is far from the safest lifestyle a woman can choose, especially if she turns out to be straight. But I know the appeal myself, and I understand why she'd want to anyway.
Of course I would! As long as her and her partner had made an agreement and the partner makes plenty of money to handle the bills and living costs, I see no issue. If they've made an agreement and the partner is fine with being the provider, who am I to judge?
Of course I would support her. I would support whatever my children wanted to do as long as they were happy and not hurting anyone!
It’s not what I would choose for my life at the moment but everyone is different
Yes. I don’t have children but if I had a daughter I would support her choice. The whole point of women’s liberation is for women to make their own choices so if my prospective daughter, my nieces, friend’s daughters, the young women at my church or any other woman makes the decision to become a stay at home tradwife, I would support her.
She's not even lived her own life under her own power and she's giving it up for a hypothetical man?
Yeah, she's getting therapy, I'm getting therapy, we're all getting therapy and she's gonna get a job.
It's not normal or healthy.
I would tell my kid, fine but she will know to never depend on anyone and to make her money on the side.
People will change on you and nothing in life often goes as expected so she will know how to look out after herself as an adult.
I'd support her but hope that she eventually chooses to be something more than just a housewife. Coming from being one myself it's not a easy life. Lots of stress and depression. Definitely don't recommend it especially for my own kids
i would support their decision of course. im not real sure why that is looked down upon these days- yet onlyfans is seen as being normal and celebrated?
Yes but I would be very severe about the importance of the amount of income that her partner should earn. I want her to live her life and be in financial stability. I would encourage her to study and obtain a degree and if she wants to be a house wife I will support her with all my heart
I would support her decision but I would also explain to her that she has other options. Oh and I would tell her that a lot of times homemakers get screwed in the divorce process, especially if she marries a really rich guy and the divorce goes badly. I’ve seen it happen to some of my mom’s friends.
If she understood that being a housewife was just as much a commitment as working, and felt that she was going to be very critical in finding a good partner beyond just material wealth... Yea? I myself want to be a house husband, and take care of a wife and be there to support them emotionally, help them love themselves and be confident, and raise children and do the same for them. I have no reason to be against it if my children wanted to do the same.
She can definitely want to be a housewife when she grows up.
But she’s still going to learn how to be an independent adult.
I only have 1 friend who wants to be a housewife and it’s not really working out for her 😅
