I have no idea what all this was about. You asked a question. Do housewives deserve more respect. I will answer that. No. No one is due my respect. You earn it. I dont owe anyone a fucking thing. As gor a bitch who has the luxury to sit home and only take care of your kids and husband. Fuck you bitch. I did that worked full time and went to nursing school full time. Where is my damn respect. You are doing one tenth of the job a working mom does so dont come at me with you deserve respect. You are living the high life. The height of luxury and ease. So how in the fuck do you think you got it worse than single moms working moms or both. Instead of bitching about how everyone is not praising you for cooking and folding laundry. Get down on your hands and knees and thank God and your husband for the blessed life you have.
They should, but they won't. Most people have such stupid ideas these days. That's why there's such a high divorce rate, a high number of single parents, and fucked up kids all over the place.
Instead, ignore them. They'll never be convinced, they'll always think the way they do and they'll always tell you that what you're doing is wrong. The best way to prove them wrong is to do well, and as long as you do that it doens't matter what they think at all.
I think no woman should be ashamed for her own decisions the way some people do.
I really hate when radical feminists treat as inferior housewives. I also dislike it when radical femenists treat as inferior prostitutes and porn actresses. So I agreed to your speech until you show unnecessary hate against a girl because she says she wants to be prostitute.
Also my mom taught me many things even when she started to work. A good mother is a good mother even if she stays at home or works. A bad mother would be a bad mother even if she works or is a housewife.
I agree.
Many people think that being a housewife isn't a real job, but I believe it is. Because you're looking after people, who will one day become productive members of society because they had a positive role model to look up to.
I personally wouldn't want to be just a housewife, I do want a career as a writer and something in computer science (I can't say what because it's always changing but possibly AI) but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want to look after my family, all I'd want is a little help because I'd also have a career to take care of.
If a young girl wants to be a housewife, I'd support her, I'd just want her to know there are other options out there for her. If she was aware, and still had her heart set on being a housewife, it would be my job as a feminist to support in doing so.
Hehehe, amazing mytake 😊
You surely noticed me afound here right and you know how much a girl who wishes to become a housewife is important to me, actually i'v always said around here that i'll never marry a girl who doesn't love becoming a housewife so i guess this explains it all...
The man who will love you and marry you will surely be very lucky and i wish you thr best 😊
Well good for you for sticking to what you want. Whatever makes u happy. I want a career so my man won’t do ALL the work. It’s about being equal. Sharing the chores, the cooking, the working, and so on. Because what if he falls ill? At least I can have a job and take care of him. Just being a housewife isn’t enough. It’s always good to have your partners back job wise too. Times are harder now a days.
While I do agree it’s good for kids to have mom around when they’re young, I absolutely do not agree that being a housewife is hard work.
Most of what you described is just basic life skills. I cook, clean, sew if need be. I can fix a car (currently building a race car), I can fix the house (renovated a few, built a cabin from the ground up), I can provide my own food (fishing, hunting, gardening)
All this while maintaining a full time job.
Sorry, but being a housewife is the easiest “job” on the planet
You've obviously never cared for a child for an extended period of time
@My99legend No, but I do know that it is not a full time job
There's a reason that people pay others to watch their children. The kids need to be taken care of. If one parent stays home with them, it means that the other can work, and that the family doesn't have to pay for a nanny or daycare. We wouldn't pay people to do it if it wasn't work.
@weasley8 It takes some effort, what I said was it’s not a full time job or hard work.
If a parent is working the same number of hours as other full time jobs, then their household is a full time job.
@weasley8 I don’t know what someone could possibly be doing to claim doing housework is a full time job. Kids are demanding for the first ~year, but as far as cooking and cleaning I don’t see it. My house and yard is spotless and I spend a couple hours a week cleaning at most.
Kids make big messes. They are little tornadoes, and wreak havoc on everything they touch. Even when they're behaving, their meals are messy, their hands are dirty and get fingerprints on everything, and their toys end up everywhere. And that's not even bringing up their clothes.
A girl is going to be lucky to be with you. You could basically survive a apocalypse
Ummm not work after a year? Babies are just starting to walk around the 12 month point. They are usually aren't weened. Not to meantion feeding them solids is fun 30 minutes of eating like 2 ounces of food. They aren't pottytrained. But hey, those diapers change themselves, right? They get into everything- constant monitoring is needed. They can't talk yet. They like be held, I mean mowing the law is easy with a baby on your hip. Nap time only takes like 45 minutes to put them to sleep. But they sleep for an hour and a half, plenty of time to catch up on "Real Housewives". Then depending on the baby they wake up throughout the night still. Babies aren't set by a 8 to 5 schedule.
@LeoElias I just call it being self sufficient, it’s not that complicated
Does your boss allow you and your coworkers to bring babies to work?
@weasley8 I work in the trades so that would be a bit of a problem
I guess I wasn’t that crake I nmy original comment. I do not object to women looking after the kids for the first couple years.
What I’m am mostly referring to is the ones that continue to sit around the house after the kids are old enough for daycare/school. That’s just lazy
What about homeschoolers? Or what about parents who volunteer at their child's school? It's been statistically proven that if parents get involved with a child's school, the child tends to get better grades, because they're more motivated, and less likely to feel like they aren't capable.
@weasley8 I have serious doubts about homeschooling being a good idea. It cuts out vital socialization and work ethic lessons.
My mom was a teacher and we were at the same school for most of my time in school, not sure how relevant that is
The things most people think about home-schooling tend to be based on nothing but their own assumptions. Home-schooling when done right is great. In fact home-schooled children tend to get better grades on average than those who go to school, simply because they get a lot more one-to-one teaching and the teaching is tailored specifically to them, as opposed to a class of 30.
The idea that a kid needs to be in a class of 30 other kids of the same age in order to learn how to socialise is probably the biggest myth. This is a very modern thing actually. Before that how did kids learn to socialise? They mainly learn from talking to adults, and also older kids. They need time with kids their own age of course but the idea that they can only learn how to socialise there is silly. I can guarantee that if most people started putting their kids into daycare at a year old and they learned how to walk there, people would say kids need daycare to learn how to walk.
@englisc I was homeschooled when I was little, I am familiar with how it works.
There are major differences between now and the past, technology and overbearing parents being the two big ones that come to mind. Years ago kids still got out and played and worked with neighbours. The kids I know now that are being homeschooled rarely leave the house.
Not saying it can’t work, I just think it is overall a bad idea. I see no benefits of it, only cons
Yeah, but if they don't leave the house then that's an example of bad home-schooling.
@englisc I know. What I am saying is with technology and the way parents are now it doesn’t work like it used to
It really depends on the parents. It's possible for a parent not to sit their kids in front of a TV/computer or hand them an ipad. I have seen home-schoolers like that, those are just lazy parents. That doesn't mean that home-schooling itself is bad.
@englisc I just don't see there being any benefits
There are plenty of benefits if done right, and the cons are usually not even true. Home-schoolers tend to get better grades than children who go to school. One-to-one teaching is more effective than a teacher teaching a class of 30 - that's a no brained. If the kid is stuck on something and needs more help, he can get that from 1-2-1 teaching. If he's good at a certain topic and can progress quickly, he can do that with 1-2-1 teaching. In a class of 30 however, kids who are behind can often be left behind, and kids who are ahead can often be held back from progressing more quickly because whatever the teacher is teaching has to be adapted to the rest of the kids too. This is why they get better grades.
@englisc The problem is life doesn’t work that way. Most teachers are good at helping the kids that need it, but it’s jot like university profs or employers will slow down and wait for you to catch up.
The longer kids get coddled the harder it is to adapt
I disagree with that. I think that people with that mindset tend to push independence on kids too early and I think that this is the reason so many of our generation have so much anxiety as adults. At some point sure they have to learn to be independent - I think that these things have to be taught in the right way at the right time.
My roommate was homeschooled, and she's doing very well in college, and she started a year early.
I was homeschooled, I'm 19 and I'm going to have my AA degree at the end of this year.
I'll agree that homeschooling lacks social interaction. But I was part of a online school for my HS years, and I now have friends all over the country, which is a great excuse to travel.
Those socially awkward homeschooled kids are going to be socially awkward whereever they are. Put them in a school system and they'll get bullied. A lot of socially awkward people go on to excel in high profile jobs that don't require a lot of interpersonal communications.
I don't have an issue with housewives, but I don't have crazy respect for them. I do "housewife" duties while having a job. I work crazy hours, make money, cook, clean, care for my man... so... I don't get what's so special about a woman who only chooses to do one.
I'm not saying it's not hard, it can be if you have a family. You deserve your family and friends to respect you, but the world doesn't have to kiss your ass either. If you want recognition, make a big difference in the world.
My mom is a housewife and she raised and always wanted me NOT to become one. Exactly because she always felt disrespected in society because of it and she feels she could have done more for HERSELF.
I don't think there's anything wrong per se about being a housewife, but in the end it is a risk for the woman. While you appreciate what your mom did for you, many husbands and children don't and never will.
i respect house wife, many people think being housewife is no job
but the person who goes for job his/her job timings are fixed but house wife timings are not fixed she works before her family wake till her family sleeps
she care for everyone not for her
I was on your side until you started projecting hate and negativity on others.
I think part of the reason people hate on housewives is because when your household is your world, you adopt a very limited close minded perspective. You forget the context of the world and start to make mountains out of molehills.
I know, kids are important, but its such a great big world out there... lets go exploring.
No one deserves anything. If you enjoy it then just enjoy it. If people disrespect it defend it if you want to. But honestly walking around with a chip on your soldier about some aspect of life not being the way you think it should be is a waste of time. Either figure out how to change it or change yourself. And I can promise you running around telling others that someone or something DESERVES RESPECT isn’t gonna go anywhere actually productive. But I’m glad you hold such strong opinions about something important to you
I have no problem with housewives if they are doing some of the things you mentioned but what I see too often is women who used it as a way of sitting at home to do nothing. I work in the homes of people so I meet these so-called housewives and by the look of their houses a lot of them are doing not much at all. Houses are often a mess, dirty dishes and dirty laundry piled up everywhere. Of course they are not all like that but a lot of housewives have got it easy.
True it's a thankless task. My wife walked out let me with 4 daughters to look after 7 years difference the youngest being 18 months , thank fully I work from home.. That was 25years ago now we have a very close family !!!
I'm sorry that happened! I could never imagine abandoning my children like that. Right on for you dad!
A family of at least two people is a living entity. There are certain things that have to be done, unless you don't mind living in a shit hole! By and large, who does what is irrelevant. Usually, it is the best person for the job that should do it, as long as it is a reasonably equal partnership.
Both housewives AND house husband should have the same respect as anyone else. It is the idle gits that are willing to live in shit holes that may not deserve much respect.
Housewives! I have so much great memories of my mother when I was young and really appreciated the close care and comfort her love brought me. I have so much respect for women who understand the immense benefit and love a family can produce. I can't wait to start mine when I meet my wife.
The housewife attribute is also so important because I want my many children to be raised right as proud honestly as I can. Especially loved.
Good take - I would say everyone step back and allow for choice - If someone wishes ti be a houseparent/spouse so be it , it is not often economically feasible in this day and age - I doubt it could be done in Ireland double incomes are needed to pay rents/mortgages for 95% of couples who live together
I agree so much! I have a job right now, but I intend to drop it after I have my first child with my (hopefully) to-be husband and be a housewife. I feel like so many children grow up hardly knowing their mothers. I want to be there for them and actually take care of them.
Housewives totally deserve more respect. We help shape the next generation and I think we are more fulfilled doing it!
Everyone does deserve more respect and i totally agree to this too. They indeed do. I am a man and i believe housewives contribute more than the working partners in everything. Just the fact that we have to say that housewives deserve* more respect itself speaks for the fact that they aren't ( respected) 👍👍
I would stay at home to raise the kids to a certain age. I can work later on.
I can employ maids to clean but the main reason I want to stay with the kids is to be a parent. Spending time with them, teach them morals, values, religion and just be a parent. That's what kids need.
