If your daughter/potential daughter came up to you saying she wants to be a housewife when she grows up, would you support her? (Page 2)

[BCRanger10]

I would. She'd have to marry a man who would be able to support the family though.

I’m not sure, I think personally I would try and encourage her to do SOMETHING with her life, not because it wouldn’t be nice but because I’ve seen how pear shaped this kind of thing can go… many things can go wrong and if her husband and her were to divorce, she wouldn’t have anywhere to go… I Would say she should at least get a degree in case this kinda thing does happen and then she has a plan!!

[nastyb]

I think the world is more complicated than that. And as far as housewiving goes, she wouldn't be able to be a housewife unless her husband is rich. Being an housewife to an average joe just means a lifetime of suffering especially if there are kids that need to be raised.

[Soldieronmission]

I disagree. We're not rich, make less then $100k a year with a few kids and she doesn't work. No debt but we did sell a house and pay everything off. When starting out yes it was tough but we've made it through.

@Soldieronmission

there is a difference between "making it through" via suffering and giving up a good life. VERSUS living a good life and being able to provide your children a decent education and upbringing.

I grew up in a family of 4 on just 25,000 a year. We survived. But life was hell.

[DextroShade]

I would not only support but encourage that decision because strong independent career women tend to be miserable and die alone.

[Asker]

that's nice to here, my dad would problaby disown me, actually my whole family would

[DizzyDesii]

I’d tell her until then, she's going to get a job and earn her keep as well as save up in case her little co-dependent plot backfires

[Drumlin2001]

I would want her to aspire to be more. She can do anything in life, why just live off someone else?

[slatyb]

I would tell that in that case she needs to be very careful on her choice of partnet because if the marriage ends she will have a difficult time supporting herself.

[purplepoppy]

Every married woman is a housewife but most manage to work as well.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I would support her decision.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

It's better than her turning into a street drug user

[Asker]

Yup that sure is true

[sheikalana]

Absolutely! As long as she doesn't come to me saying she wants to be on OF or PornHub I'm fine with pretty much anything.

[Anonymous]

I would advise her that being a "housewife" or what American's picturesque view of that is like is quite boring & unfullfilling at least until you have kids and even then by the time your youngest turns 14 maybe 16 you've very little to do. I'm a stay at home mother right now but the majority of housework I've done well b4 12 O'clock. Dinner is easy, looking after babies is mostly easy. As long as you are organised. I've a lot of free time to read, exercise, even to masturbate.

[Anonymous]

I would be soo proud

[Cubus]

If her husband had a good paying job then of course I would support it.

[Asker]

👍🏻👍🏻

[als24]

Yes but I'd explain to her that her husband would need to be high quality.

[Asker]

Thats fair

[Alwayreckles93]

Yes I will always be support of my children.

[Bricealan]

I would like to see her look forward to something better for herself than a housewife.

[Sirenboobzilla]

I would support any future child in that decision. However I would also want them to have something to fall on in case it either never happens, takes too long, or they do find it and get dumped.

[martotally]

I would like for her to experience getting her own apartment and paying her bills, so if she does decide to be a housewife she knows what her husband is going threw to pay the bills and support the family.

[msc545]

No. This would be very disappointing. A housekeeper can do that work. I want her to be a professional of some kind.

[annabananna]

I’d support her but until she becomes one she needs to work on a career.
