Housewife life?

[caring__1]

A person's self-esteem comes from that person challenging him/herself and gaining a sense of accomplishment. It will never come from anything handed to that person by others.

The concern regarding housewives is the fact they never actually finish anything, so can't get a sense of accomplishment. As soon as they believe they are finished, they have to start doing the same thing all over again. Raising kids is a major challenge and accomplishment, but it takes 18 years to be able to measure that accomplishment. Will a person's self-esteem survive 18 years with nothing but hope to feed it?

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with being a housewife, but have something on the side to challenge yourself and gain that sense of accomplishment. It could be a job or volunteer work or a hobby or taking on a leadership position in an organization or cause. If you don't actively do things to gain a sense of accomplishment, you'll expect your partner to make you whole, and the pressure you put on your partner for this may very likely destroy the relationship.

If I had a wife I would prefer this as handling a home is a full time task, but financially it is probably not possible. The reason i would prefer this is because work takes up so much of a person's time and makes it hard to handle other areas of life due to time constraints. If my wife handles everything at home then she would also have the flexibility to run errands that I could not do while at work. If we had children this would save money on childcare. Also, if she desired she would have time to pursue her hobbies instead of being tied to a job. I want my wife to be happy and have time to do whatever she wishes. As for me, I love my job a lot so it really does not feel like work to me and there are not many hobbies that interest me.

Of course all the guys are going to say it’s better because they never have to worry about being penniless if something happens. Screw that. ALWAYS make sure you can take care of yourself.

I definitely can't be a housewife ever. For my mental peace, financial independence I need to work independently.

Yeah I mean it's quite nice, but then again that age has kind of died, it's more of shared chores in household or a male simp doing chores for both. My personal preference would be shared chores, I feel like women deserve more than just being fucked and told to shut up. I was raised in old age environment but never grew to like it, I am more turned on by independent women that is an intellectual. She can take responsibility and give me advice as well. "Behind a successful man is a woman", hell no. She's needs to be right next to me and if any of us fuck something up we can help eachother. I don't look behind me so having a woman there would be pointless.

Nothing wrong with a housewife; there's a lot of work waiting:
- feed the cattle
- kill and gut out chicken, ducks and such
- milk the cows
- water the garden
- wash, dry and iron the laundry
- keep the windows clear and clean
- sweep the floors and dust out the carpets
- scrub the bathroom/s
- get in fresh food from the market
- prepare three meals a day
- plop out a baby each year or so
- sew, repair and stitch up clothing
- give sex regularly
- ... etc

I don't know to be completely honest. It's certainly a tradeoff. The idea of it sounds appealing, but having such an arrangement cuts a household's income in half, which is a HUGE difference. I just don't know if I would be willing to sacrifice the higher living standards that could be had with a dual-income household.

[DavidDong]

there's a reason its traditional because it works

I want to come from a long days work with a meal on the table
It might sound boring but that's what I want from a woman other than feelings.

In fact they should have the time to persue hobbies and that
As a guy I work to make her life easier i want to see how I make her life more enjoyable

[bamesjond0069]

Yes please. I only date girls like this. No reason to have a serious relationship otherwise in my opinion.

Clean cook. Eventually, take care of children. You should also spend time doing things thats pleasing to your boyfriend. Maybe go to the gym, wear pretty clothes. When he comes home from work take his shoes off, rub his back.

It's 2020, the feminists won, so time to go get a job like everybody else.

[Shiver]

My girlfriend really likes the idea and I'm all for it, but I can definitely see why others don't want it. Just do you, there's always a right partner for you.

[NorthwestRider]

I am the one who will stay home only if she makes $$$

I love cleaning and cooking!!

Also someone who stays home can make money from home as well

Many people may prefer the role of a housewife but I prefer to have a job/financial independence due to personal reasons.

[Agape93]

If that’s what someone wants, go for it. It’s not for me.

[JKingOff]

I would love that! However I'm not in a good position where I can afford to take care of all the bills by myself.

[JohnO45]

It could work if we had children...
Otherwise there are machines for laundry and cleaning so you'd have no work in the home.

[Phoenix98]

If I'm making enough to support us financially then yes that is the ideal outcome for me.

[joeldalton]

It works well. Plenty of guys want that lifestyle, still. Generally there's household and child-rearing duties for the wife.

[Solstice777]

I am more conservative but I do not believe in that BS where the wife cannot work. That just will lead to her being bored and unhappy.

[Gedaria]

It's has it's challenging times but did the lot for years
Wife went Walkabout. Left me with 4 girls youngest 4year old..

[GAGSucksBalls1]

I'd be ok with her being a housewife, if she does in fact, have a job, working from home. I just feel like both should be working, but if she doesn't want to work outside of the home, that's how I feel. She'll NEED to work from home, too

[Hangry22]

If that makes you and your partner happy, go ahead
I personally wouldn't do it

[Janessa2021]

I'm not gonna rely on my husband's money, im gonna have my own money

[Unit1]

Not for me. It's survival of the richest here and now.

[Emanon_18]

Always traditional life is the best for it’s simplicity and honest

[iFarted]

If I made enough money and that is what she truly wishes and would be happy in that role then I'm for it.

[Avicenna]

It’s largely unaffordable these days

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I don't really mind it. It's a plus!

[Anonymous]

Only if you have kids usually.

[MsLivy]

Not for me

[drake1414]

Natural order

[Jmmmfi4]

I'm all for it
