I’m just a tiny bit annoyed. Does anybody see her POV?
I don’t understand. may someone please help me see my mom’s side?
I’m just a tiny bit annoyed. Does anybody see her POV?
Funny!
I have been watching YTs where the son comes out and tells his parents he is straight. They are like "But we bought you dolls. Where did we go wrong that made you like girls?" and "Son, we'll love you anyway but we are worried life will be so much harder for you as a straight".
The daughter comes in and tells them she is Christian to their similar anguish. Where did they go wrong in their parenting?
I think you have an excellent plot line in development. Daughter confessing to ambitions of being a trad wife instead of a boss babe. Bound to go viral.
Have you asked your mom to teach you to cook yet? Or for her house cleaning tips?
You could set up a switcheroo and establish what the most useless degrees there are that are most likely to leave you unemployed with a mammoth debt. Feminist Studies and English Literature spring to mind. Ask mom's advice on which dead end to pick.
Sadly Domestic Science degrees seem to have all been cancelled by feminists. However you could study a hospitality degree or a culinary degree. Not only can you tell a potential future husband you can cook but you have degree in it.
You could be a Boss's Babe Wife! At least the words Boss and Babe are in your ambition then which should get you mom off your back.
Yeah! So I thought about being a caretaker like my grandmother but she told me that’s she doesn’t think it’d be good for me. Stressful job. But instead a pharmacist. What I really want to do instead is either be a home health aide! Who I believe takes care of the patient. Every single thing.
To add what you said, I do clean and can cook some things because I like cooking it’s fun and creative.
Being more serious now, there is no point doing a degree that does not lead to good paying jobs that will endure. I wasn't being sarcastic on feminist studies lightly. You need to check how much employment it directly leads to and the remuneration. Plus it is a field of study in which interest might be lost - society might move strongly to trad wives and stay at home moms.
Another thing to thing about is if the field can be automated or done more cheaper offshore. Pharmacy could be one of those with a machine doing the dispensing - with a good logistics system the classic corner pharmacy could disappear.
Some things need to be done locally by their nature. Digging a hole in the ground for example. Laying bricks however is starting to be done in factories - the bricks are glued to a board by a machine,
The caring fields you have mentioned tend to have to be done by people due to their nature and so should be more resilient. You could try them out for a while to see if you like it in practice. Age care is pretty easy to get work in for example. Good to try areas out.
I do think people have been needlessly negative on the housewife side by the way. Most husbands and wives learn to work well together.
Good luck in your future what ever that might be!
I now know what I would like to do if I do go go university. Either a nursing assistant or a home health aide. A home health aide cooks, cleans, bathes etc. a person in their home or in a facility
I don't know the situation where you are but in my country you can start as a PCA (personal care assistant) and get paid whilst you do the training. then you can train (whilst being paid) to become an enrolled nurse. Then you can train to be a registered nurse (whilst being paid).
After that you can train to become a nurse practitioner who is nearer a doctor than a classic nurse and can prescribe medicine. It is pretty good as it is structured as a series of courses that you can progressively qualify in whilst still working.
Or you can go straight to Uni and come out as a registered nurse skipping the first two rungs.
Check it out I'd suggest. The PCA step is probably worth taking in case you find out you just don't like the work after all.
It is great you have a strong vocational inclination because a lot of people do a degree and find out that they don't like it after all :)
She wants you to have options.
You’re too young to make the decision of whether you want to be a submissive.
That first text is utterly wrong and grossly misrepresents Christianity. There is no scripture that justifies abusing your wife. Abuse and rape imply lack of consent. Neither the US law or Christianity allow that. Even in the BDSM community, everything is done with consent.
The fact that you can’t figure this out reinforces the point that your mother made. Asking us verses the woman who brought you to this point is foolish. Talk it over with your mother. Go to school, learn what’s out there, empower yourself, don’t listen to any guy who calls you stupid.
Have you ever noticed how perky and livelier girls who get an education are? I’ve spoken with a number of women who didn’t pursue higher education or chose to be stay at home moms. Unless they are preoccupied with kids all the time, they end up being bored and miserable if they have a lot of intellectual potential with nowhere to direct it.
Until a woman is married, we need some sort of experience with jobs. I think it's great if a woman gets married early and can just focus on being a homemaker, that's what I did. But at the same time, if in 10 years something happens to my husband where I have to be the one making the money, I will be able to get a pretty good job because I worked and got a degree before we got married. A woman who has no experience working is going to be far worse off if she gets stuck in that situation. It is a disservice to our children for us to not know hlro be productive.
Then if I do get a job, can I do a feminine job? Like a caretaker?
Also, my mom got married at 18 and two years later had my sister andI. Do you think that I should do the same?
@LazerBean: The difference you married a Godly man that fears and loves the lord as I assume since you talk nicely about him.
The heathen man is hot trash and so is the called religious man who hides behind religion but are horrible people.
These type of men can't be trusted at all as they tend to take advantage or abuse in some form so depending 100% on them is a big mistake that's most likely going to backfire.
@Hispanic-Cool-Guy never read so much bullsh*t in my life. What planet are you on?
@Kartdemon: How is it BS? Maybe is you that is on the wrong planet.
I understand human nature and what sinful people are like.
I totally agree, that's why I'm trying to encourage her to work. Even if a woman does marry a great guy, uncontrollable stuff happens. My husband's father's best friend had a stroke in his 40s, and it was a good thing that his wife was able to support herself and their 4 kids by herself. He never recovered and died last month after 10+ years as little more than a vegetable
@Hispanic-Cool-Guy yes, the heathen man is trash, that’s why I work 70 hours a week to have a house and everything my woman and children need. She’s a heathen just like me
only a backwards hillbilly who just want to abuse a partner would ever think your side is right.
How CAN'T you see that having your OWN education and life is important? It's dumb to refer all your needs onto anyone but yourself, because half of the time the men you're going to date with that mindset are again, just abusive twits who can't get a actual woman so gets a doormat.
Your mentality sets you up for unhappiness and abusive situations you can't leave easily. Having basic intelligence would never have needed this question.
So frankly, you're a troll
I’m not, I’m just really impressionable. Also I just don’t know who to be and who I SHOULD be because I’m still figuring that out. When I see these type of posts it makes me think that that’s the right way or I should be like that. and just for a bit of context I’m on the autism spectrum
And before I saw the posts, I did want to go to college and I had a plan but It just feels like as soon I saw this post, my brain just flipped a switch.
Honestly sounds more like your laziness flipped a switch. "I'm on the spectrum" doesn't actually tell us shit, and if you're as impressionable as you think you are, you need removing from social medias and this site because you're admitting you're mentally vulnerable and susceptible.
But how is it laziness? I mean I do want to get some education

Being a homemaker is great if you're good enough to warrant that. If you're meddling at cooking and the place looks like a robbery happened I can hire a chef and maid cheaper. You're unlikely to pop out of school directly into a marriage proposal by a man who can support you. I agree with you 100% don't get a worthless degree and a bunch of debt. Go to a cheaper school. I paid less than 1/10th of what the people who work for me have paid for their education.
You have to be somewhere to meet the men because we don't do matchmakers anymore and friends and family don't always set us up with the best out there.
I can easily support a stay at home wife off my income. She could work part time if she wanted to have extra blow money above and beyond what I gave her or if it was a job that really mattered like designing prosthetic limbs for rescue kittens then by all means have at it, but I better not be doing all the cooking and cleaning, so that's on her to balance her time.
Now, say that I'm younger and that's going to be you. Where would we ever meet? People spend 1/3rd of the day at their job and many spend 1/3rd of the day asleep. You're just as likely to meet me on the job as you are "out and about." Now I do a lot of charity races on weekends, so I meet a lot of people there, as well, but you have to physically BE where the men you are trying to attract are at, or they're never going to ask you to be their homemaker.
Funny post. You don't need to go college unless your desired profession demands it.
Now, I see you're still a teen and the woman at the bottom Instagram post is the exception not the rule assuming she even has a happy life to begin with, and not just internet flexing.
You can have a career and still have a husband and raise family like many do but you can't devote crazy hours to your career nor can't your husband neither lest the marriage falls apart.
Now, back to that Instagram post, like I said that woman is expressing the exception not the rule.
A woman that doesn't provide for herself at all is at big risk of being 100% controlled and manipulated in ways she isn't going to like at all because most men don't love God, don't fear God, don't believe the Bible, don't obey the Bible and are controlled by their sinful flesh which is wicked by nature which is something that lady didn't post on the Instagram.
Understand if you 100% depend on someone else in this case a husband then he will have 100% total power over you and I can almost guarantee he will abuse you or take advantage of you in some form because he's not going to let you live in his house for free and you eat for free without your home career being his personal maid, butler, chef, personal massage lady etc.
Being a homemaker in today's society is not as easy as it was. The man needs to make a good amount of money. With that you have to know how to cook, clean, take care of kids, do laundry etc. My mom was a sahm and she also handled all the finances and paid all the bills do my dad didn't have to worry about that. As for the statement that college brainwashes it definitely can. It doesn't always. It comes down to you as a person are you suggestable, easily manipulates, if so then you probably would have some trouble in college. Your mom is right and wrong. Yes an education is great. But you do not NEED one. You also could go to college overseas which spares you the brainwashing if any were to happen and gets you the education.
You are wise to realize this early and your mother is wrong. College is a scam nowadays that will leave you in massive inescapable debt just for a chance at getting a job you probably won't even want to do. You would rack up bodies while being taught toxic woke nonsense. Focus on domestic skills and hobbies, spend time in the gym, and keep your body count as low as possible. Also, you will have to choose generally between building with a man around your age or marrying a wealthy older man.
I already have a boyfriend right now
What if I go get a degree and choose to be a caretaker or a nurse? Is that still okay?
And I won’t, because the only reason I would be there is for education. Not for parties and I have not slept with anyone.
Nursing is a lot of classes and long hours that would interfere with your marriage. For many guys a nurse or anything medical is a red flag 🚩. Unless you are going to be a high-powered professional like a lawyer or specialist MD it isn't worth the debt.
Even my grandmother got a degree and she’s now a caretaker. And she’s feminine, cooks, cleans, and she wears dresses and take care of everyone. Still with my grandfather too
In your grandmother's day she could go to school without accumulating crippling debt. Things are different now.
What if I went to community college first?
Unless you can do it debt free it isn't worth it.
First off: 🙌 what a W
Okay I get both sides. I think college can be very valuable and useful. Also it's hard and costs a lot of money.
If I were you I'd write a pros/cons list of why college is and isn't worth it.
Also it's pretty easy to get a job these days without a degree.
Basically it's up to you. Don't let your mom force you into anything that could cost you later. If you decide to go to college, just make sure you choose one that supports whatever you already believe
I think I’ve decided where I want to go. I’m thinking of majoring in early childhood education. So pre-K or even work in a daycare.
the idea that a woman is going to rely on a partner and therefore should forego college and simply focus on being a homemaker is unwise. the first part of being an adult is asserting independence. regardless if you want to marry or not you have to be able to stand on your own two feet because you cannot know what the future will hold.
here's the thing...
with any of my properties... the moment I feel like I could get better, I get better ones, or I sell them, replace them, change them, give them away, trade...
either I feel like getting better, or I decide I don't need them anymore, or they just do not serve me the same and I get rid off them
so... if you see yourself as someone's property... they will see you and treat you like that, property
YOU are a person, not an object to be owned
you mum is controlling. you should make your own life choices but them it doesn't work out with your husband and you end up skint and jobless then dont ask your mum for help. thats all i am saying
I know, I won’t. But I’m just going to go to community college I think.
Things don't always work out the way we think. Imagine being 35 and your husband divorces you or becomes abusive and you leave and you have no degree, no job skills, nothing at all to help you find a decent job. Worse imagine being 60 and this happens. Going to college at least gives you a plan b if plan a falls apart.
She wants you to finish college and get your degree so if something happens to your husband (God forbid) you have something to fall back on. You'll be able to support yourself if you didn't have a husband to rely on.
Thats backwards thinking.
Career/education are not in opposition to marriage. You should not be trying to do one or the other, you should try to do both.
You should keep your options open. And if you have an education and are able to provide for yourself, you will have a lot more options.
😂😂😂looks like you're trolling
I’m not, I’m serious. I even talked to my mom about this before and today
What's ur age?
17 years old
U can get married and i think u should probably get basic education..
And u can't marry a 17 year old u need 24 + because financial stability is a thing..
Complete ur 12 and get some degree too
That’s true sometimes
My moms side or mine?
Yes, indeed
You're lazy
I’m going to college, and I’m going to work. I’m applying to some next week
Good, because you're only 18. You're too young to be sick of college
Yes, and I would be homeless otherwise. I have to move out soon too
