Should Housewives be paid for their work?

[Physics-Man]

Yes

No

Other

[Apple1996]

Nah the fact that housewives dont get paid proves what a sacrifice it actually is to be one. They get paid in love from their spouses and children. And that is truly enough in my opinion.

[hellionthesagereborn]

Well love and a house, food, clothing and everything else. Not like she is living on the streets after she cooks dinner and puts the kids to bed.

[Apple1996]

@hellionthesagereborn well yeah I'm a stay at home mom but my husband's job gives him money and housing pay for having a wife so we truly he wouldn't have shit if it wasn't for me 😂

[nella965]

does it worry you that if your husband divorces you one day, then what will happen to you financially?>

[Apple1996]

@nella965 no not at all worried. I'd get the kids and everything in the house so I wouldn't be losing as much as him. Plus I dont ever see us divorcing in the future

[nella965]

@Apple1996. You probably won’t get the kids or the house. The more financially stable parent tends to get the kids. If the house is under his name , there is a pretty good chance he’s keeping the house

[nella965]

@Apple1996. 46% of all marriages end in Divorce. That’s nearly half of all marriages. Divorce don’t always come early in life. You may find yourself divorced in your 40-50s

[Apple1996]

@nella965 my husband is military so there is 0 way for him to get the kids. Especially since I'll move out of state. we dont own a house but he would be forced to move into barracks rooms and wouldn't be able to take anything besides a tv and his clothes. I would get everything else inside the house.

[Apple1996]

@nella965 if my husband divorced me he would be the one in a bad financial situation so that would be pretty stupid for him. If I'm really that old I'll most likely be working by then since my kids will be adults

[nella965]

If your husband divorced you, there will be a good chance that you will be working 2 jobs , while receiving child support from your husband in order to survive. You probably won’t even be able to own a house anytime in your life

Due to your lack of skills , you will never be able to leave your husband. Because without him, you have no means to support yourself.

Cost of living is increasing by the year. 15 -20 years later , there will be no more Cashiers, burger flippers , maids. Most jobs that pay a liable wage will require some sort of education/ advanced training

This is why it’s so important for women to have their own education.

This gives women the freedom to leave their husbands once he cheats on her

[nella965]

Most jobs that pay a liable wage*** will require some sort of education/ advanced training

[nella965]

Livable wage

[nella965]

If your husband divorced you, you would be in a bad situation. Not your husband. He already has a settled career and military benefits. You have nothing. Can’t even support your own children

[Apple1996]

@nella965 the military isn't like that. I know a guy only was married for 2 years and had a daughter. Only got her over his leave in the summer for a week. He ended up having to go into work and needed childcare so I took his daughter for the whole week. The mother was pissed. Also found out that he didn't have a car since he owed the wife 70% of his pay every month in child support and couldn't afford a care. That's pretty much most of the guys that end up divorced they get completely screwed

[Apple1996]

And also just to add I already own my parents house at the moment since my mom has cancer and my dad is also going down hill health wise they put it in my name since all my siblings already have a house they own. I am planning on living it in with my husband when we are old but if plans change it'll just be me

[Apple1996]

@nella965 I'm not even sure why you care so much since you dont even know me or my life. If something happens I'll be with my kids and still living a happy life regardless of my job situation

[nella965]

Hun you wanted to argue against reality. Just giving you a wake up call. I’m not here to try to hurt your feelings.

Giving up your chance to gain skills / education means you won’t be able to adequately survive without your husband. You are surrendering your ability to fend for yourself

[Apple1996]

@nella965 I took care of my son for 15 months before my husband ever even worked and never had any issues caring for him while not working. I did it then and could easily do it again if needed. There is no need for me to work. I'd rather be with my kids and live poor then work and not be with them

[Apple1996]

Working in general is a waste of working and I wouldn't do it even if I had too

[Apple1996]

Waste of living **

[Apple1996]

@nella965 I'm 99% sure you dont have children cause you speak like you have no soul lol. Mothers are meant to be with their children not to ditch them in a daycare and see them 1 hour a day. I guess it's something you won't understand unless you're a parent. There is much more to life than money and working and I pray that one day you'll realize that

[nella965]

@Apple1996 I'm sure you've never had to find ways to feed your children. Because you are only doing part of the job of parent. You're not the one paying for your child's education. You're not responsible for finding food for your children. You're not the one providing clothing for your children.

Everything that you have right now for your kids are given to you by your husband.

This is why its easy for you to say that money doesn't matter or that you don't need any skills / education or that you don't need to work to feed your children.

In most other families out there, both parents need to work in order to support their children and pay for their kid's college tuition, pay for tutoring, summer camp.

You're only doing part of the job of being a parent, not the entire job.

[nella965]

Once your husband is out of the picture, you and your kids will be in deep trouble. Trust me, that money that you have pouring in from your husband right now, is no longer gonna be the same. It won't be enough. You will find yourself struggling trying to keep a roof over your head and feed the kids. Only by then, are you doing the entire job of being a parent.

[Apple1996]

@nella965 I had everything for my son before my husband even got a job or lived with us lol he provided nothing while I was pregnant or while he was a baby. We both had food, a good home, health insurance. It's really not that difficult to provide for a child. Single mothers get handed everything. I didn't marry my husband so he could provide. I only married him cause I love him. I could have easily lived the single mother life for years without needing to work if that's what I wanted to do

[nella965]

You never had to work for anything you have in life. There are many of us have to pay for everything we own in life. We know that we can’t support ourselves on minimum wage so we work hard to earn a college degree , work for our own money, build our own bank accounts, pay for our own house , pay for our own health insurance , save up to send our kids to college, save for retirement

This is one of the reasons why it’s so important for girls to understand what real world life is like before they have kids. You can’t assume that just because you had everything handed to you , then it just mean that everyone else’s lives are the same way. Nothing is free in life.

Nobody just turns 18 then has a house , a high paying job, free food , free clothing , free phone. Someone is paying for that

You’re not a real parent unless you know what it really takes to raise kids. It’s way more than just making a meal and changing diapers,

[nella965]

Ask any mom out there If she thinks that money is not important to raising kids. It’s such a no brainer question. Only someone who never had to support a family would say something like this

[nella965]

Here are all the things typically people would have to pay for starting a family:

1. Pay for the wedding ceremony and marriage certificate , the minister
2. Down payment for a house , pay mortgage , pay property taxes
3. Pay for baby supplies , new clothes every 6 months , toys , baby sitter
4. Pay for health insurance , car expenses / car insurance
5. Pay for education/ save up for your kids college funds
6. Pay for summer camp, tutoring, extracurriculars
7. Family vacations
8. Save for retirement
9. Video games , new computers/ smart phones every few years

Besides all the expenses, you will also need to have a savings for emergency

All of this is a lot of Money going out. And typically 1 income is not enough to pay all those expenses

[Apple1996]

@nella965 we literally have gotten all of that with one income very easily. Only thing we don't have is a house because renting in more convenient for our situation. You really over estimate how much having a family cost. I'm pregnant with my 3rd child and at this point finances have never been a issue for us.

[nella965]

Finances aren’t an issue for you because you didn’t have to buy a house , didn’t have to buy a car , chances are you didn’t even pay for your own wedding , you don’t have to pay for health insurance , you’re not saving for your children’s college education fund , you’re probably not even saving for retirement yet

This is why money is not an issue for you. You didn’t have To pay for any of this stuff. You’re not saving for anything either.

Kids will only get more expensive as they get older. When they start eating more, wanting the latest fashion, video games , summer camp activities and college

[Apple1996]

@nella965 the rent I pay is more expensive than a house in my area. And we have payed off cars and both have IRAs. My kids have savings accounts but not for college since we already have free college set up for them. They actually get cheaper the older they get is what I've noticed

[nella965]

You’re saying it’s cheap because it’s not you working for the money. Money only has value when you earn it. There’s a lot you haven’t paid for in life that other families pay for.

[nella965]

It’s not you that’s paying for things. It’s the government paying it for you, it’s your husband paying it for you, it’s your parents paying things for you.

You haven’t worked to pay anything

[I_Can_Help]

@nella965 You should nanny for @Apple1996 so she can take classes and get that job you keep criticizing her for not having. Then both of you would be earning $$$.
And I don't know what weird country you are from but in the US, women almost ALWAYS get the kids. Only if they are addicts or abusive would a judge deny a mom her kids.

[Apple1996]

@I_Can_Help lol I don't think she would make a good nanny😂 and yeah I'm in the US, most mothers get custody regardless of their job status

[nella965]

@I_Can_Help Nobody needs to take classes for these tyeps of things. Its common knowledge. Any real adult would already understand the importance of money to supporting ourselves and supporting children. I wouldn't think that needs to be explained.

It takes someone who has survived the real world to understand what the real world is like. No classes, just getting a job and paying your bills. Its not complicated.

[nella965]

@Apple1996 Most mothers get custody because most mothers nowadays have jobs. Most moms are not stay home wives. Overwhelming majority of families in the US cannot survive well on 1 income.

[nella965]

@Apple1996 If you had no job, no ability to support yourself, then its your husband who would be getting custody. Once you lose your husband, you will realize that nobody in the world will give you anything for free. For the first time in your life, money will be more important to you than ever before.

I know of many divorced men in my city, sharing custody of their child with their divorced wives. All of the divorced wives have their own apartments, support themselves, have stable jobs. The more financially / mentally stable parent usually gets the kids.

[Apple1996]

@nella965 only couples that can't manage money can't live off one income. It can easily be done depending on lifestyle choices. And no courts truly don't give the working parents custody since it's not in the best interest of the child. Like my husband would never be able to drop off and pick up my kids from school. Also would have been impossible with virtual school. If one parent can be there all day with the child and the other one is busy working. The parent who can be there will most likely get full custody and be entitled to child support since the other parent can't be there for the kid they'll have to pay

[Apple1996]

And even if I did get divorced my husband doesn't want custody. It's something we've discussed many times. He says even if I died he would have to send the kids off to live with his sister since he wouldn't be able to be there every day for them.

[nella965]

@Apple1996 Do you realize cost of living has increaesd while wages have stayed the same over the past 20-30 years? if you dont understand what this means. It means that the cost of the food has gone up while your salaries have stayed the same over the past 20-30 years. So this means the cost of raising a child has increased. This is why housewives were more common back then compared to now. Back then, people could actually live off of 1 income. Now , people can't.

Sure you can raise a fmaliy off of one income. Just like how my parents suffered raising me with just 20,000 a year income for a family of 4. But its a MISERABLE EXISTENCE.

do you really want to buy the cheapest food for your children? do you really want to tell your kids that they can never have anything they want at the store such as games, toys, summer camp?

how are you supposed to pay mortgage, property tax, car expenses/ insurance, save for retirement, college tuition , food / clothing for your growing teenage children, school supplies, laptops , smartphones. with just a 45k salary?

you can certainly tell your kids that they can only eat the cheapest meals 2x a day. or tell your child that you can't ever buy them a computer or tell your child that they shouldn't go to college. but isn't this a miserable existence?

[nella965]

@Apple1996 The more financially / mentally stable parent usually gets the child. Custody can be split up too. This means that he takes care of the child half the time on his off days while you take care of the child on your off days. Your ex husband can work mornings and afternoons so that he can care for the kids during the night time. You can work evenings and nights so that you can care for the children during the day time.

Or your ex husband can also hire a baby sitter.

Because raelity is, if your husband divorces you , nobody is gonna be paying your rent. Do you really think you can live in an apartment for free? that rent bill is gonna be mailed to you every month. if you don't pay it, your landlord is gonna be knocking on your door and threatening to kick you and your kids out.

So this means you will also be working a full time job trying to pay for your own rent and food. you won't be able to stay at home all day to care for your kids. you need a job to make sure that you still have a roof over your head.

[nella965]

All these things are BASIC COMMON SENSE. I don't understand why I have to explain this stuff, especially to adults. Its totally common knowledge.

[Apple1996]

@nella965 there is no reason for me to work and miss out on my kids lives. I'm planning on having many many kids like 6 to 10 and I need to be there for them. Working a job just is a waste of living, the money isn't worth it. I'd rather live in a RV with 10 kids and be happy then be miserable and have to work just to have the fancier things in life. Money isn't what life is about. I get you'll never understand that since your so hardcore about having a job and money.

[nella965]

@Apple1996 how are you gonna pay for your RV if you're gonna stay at home all day? Sure your ex husband can pay you a little bit of alimony, but its not gonna be nearly enough to pay rent and support 6-10 kids. you're not talking about what is realistic , you're only talk about living in your own imagination.

do you only care about what you want, or do you actually care about what kind of childhood you are providing for your 6-10 kids? it doesn't seem like you care about providing a good child hood for your kids, you just want to have as many kids as possible to fulfill your own personal desires.

[nella965]

@Apple1996 Without money , you can't raise kids. The more kids you have, the more money it requires. I don't understand why you have been arguing with this up until now. I feel like just arguing about basic common sense.

I don't believe that women without any real world adult life experience should qualify to be mothers, as they will not be able to prepare / teach their children for the real world. Part of the job of being a mother is not only to care for children but also teach them how to successfully survive in the real world.

[Apple1996]

@nella965 I don't need to pay for shit cause I have a husband that I have been married to for the last 6 years and will probably be married to for the rest of my life and he provides for us cause he loves having a wife and kids. And I'm gonna keep having kids until I can't handle anymore cause my calling in life is to be a mom

[nella965]

@Apple1996 All I'm saying is, you can't ever divorce your husband. Your husbands has the upper hand over you. If he ever cheats on you, you can't divorce him. If he's being abusive, you can't divorce him. Because you can't survive on your own.

Divorce usually happens more frequently when the kids are older. Don't think that just because he didn't divorce you 6 yr in to the marriage, then it also must be he won't divorce you by the time you're 40.

A grown woman who can't survive on her own is similar to a helpless child.

[Apple1996]

@nella965 neither of us have plans of divocing and I have no reason to over prepare for that even if it did happen. And I'm not sure if you've ever been to a homeless camp but 99% of it is men that can't keep jobs. Very rarely do women end up in bad situations. Worse case they end up doing only fans and living in a friend's house. That's like the worst that would probably ever happen to me if everything in my life went to shit and I had to support myself

[nella965]

@Apple1996 so tell me, what are you gonna do if your husband divorces you? By then it could be 2035, no more cashiers, no more maids, no more waitresses. Everything is being automated by robots. Jobs that pay a livable wage require some sort of education.

tell me, what are you going to do?

[nella965]

@Apple1996 I honestly find it HILAIRIOUS how some people think that they can survive in the real world without a job.

[I_Can_Help]

@Apple1996 If I were you, I would delete EVERY one of these nonsensical responses from the OBVIOUS troll that is @nella965. Then block his/her ass. Why are you arguing with a troll? You gotta realize that if the question was "should women with young children work?" This same troll would yell at any woman who had the nerve to leave her house and let someone else take care of her kids as she selfishly went off to make money. BLOCK THIS TROLL.

[Apple1996]

@I_Can_Help nah it's very entertaining to watch someone freak out over shit they know nothing about 😂

[nella965]

@I_Can_Help you're gonna call me a troll because I'm asserting that housewives won't be able to raise kids on their own , without education or skills?

You're just plain stubborn and immature. Who would argue against something as factual as this?

[nella965]

@Apple1996 You're claiming that I know nothing but yet you're the one who claims that money is not important to raising kids. Who is the one who doesn't know anything?

Just imagine working at a supermarket, making minimum wage, while you have 3 kids to feed.

[nella965]

@I_Can_Help I don't yell at people for no reason. If I'm yelling at you, it means there's something wrong with you. Many mothers would love to stay home all day to care for their kids. But most women know that they won't be able to adequately provide for their kids if they stayed home.

Taking care of your kids also means ensuring they get a college education, providing your child with extra curricular activities to have fun, basic things needed such as computers, smart phones, games, or that cute expensive stuffed animal that your son always dreamed of having, feeding your child with the best food instead of relying on crappy school lunch food.

Telling your kids that they can never have anything because you can't afford it, is a form of emotional abuse.

There is a huge difference between raising your kids well and simply letting your kids grow up.

[jennifer_bloom]

They are paid with children who love them and have improved lives and many times their husband pays them with the freedom to not go to work and earn money.

[OlderAndWiser]

Paid by who? How much? If its a job, who will be designated as their supervisor?

[MzAsh]

I’d require to be paid and paid well.
Love should NEVER be a form of payment for those of you who said that.
That’s a really foolish way of thinking.

[Miristheiss]

Paid?
By who?
To take care of their OWN HOME?

It is your home... keep it clean or tidy... let it be a messy, cluttered place... either way, I don't care. It is YOUR HOME. No one is paying you to live in, care for and clean up your OWN HOUSE.

I'll clean, mow, maintain where I LIVE... you maintain where YOU LIVE.

I have to pay property taxes, electric bills, water bills, I'm forking out 6,000 because the air conditioning unit is going bad... I'll probably have to fork out 15,000-20,000 in 10 years or so to replace the roof as it is about 15 years old right now, I have to mow and edge it... replace fridges, dishwashers... etc.

I HAVE TO PAY ENDLESS MONEY to keep my home in good shape.

No one is paying me... I HAVE TO PAY.

Who is this magic fairy that is going to pay someone to maintain and clean their own house?

Seriously? The only way they'll get paid is to work in SOMEONE ELSE'S home. No one is paying you to clean up your own house.

[hellionthesagereborn]

They are. They get a free house, free food, free furniture, free security, free money, they get access to their husbands bank accounts etc. So the idea that they are not getting paid for their services is idiotically stupid, do those people think that the housewife lives on the streets and eats only what she can scrounge from a neighbors garbage can or something? Its an insane premise.

[ChrisMaster69]

Or should lazy fuckwit guys, actually help out around the house?
working from home has really changed the social dynamic,
more and more guys actually appreciate what raising a family entails,

hopefully this is for the better, there are far too many fuckwit guys that really should not be parents.

there are some really stereotypical guys around the UK, they follow the same life as their dad etc,

It’s a relationship, it’s a 50 / 50 thing, joint responsibility for house work, raising family.

also a huge number of women are not only working but working in high paid jobs.

we had a survey last year and of x women that work in my teams about 70% were the main earner in their family.

in addition to earning more, they also had to look after household etc.

Should guys be fined for doing fuck all in a relationship or around the house?

[whatsthereinname]

No...

Housewives work a lot for the family and the household. On the other hand, there husbands toil all day hard to look into the financial aspect. So basically, there has to be a balance between both.

Basically, you can't pay her enough for her services because only service part could be assigned a value whereas the love amd selflessness cannot be assigned a value.

So, a Housewife should be paid enough respect. With respect to finance, I don't think they need to pay her but yes, she should have the comfort to be able to spend for her needs

The finance should be mutual for both husband and wife and they both should jointly discuss and decide to use it

[Aiko_E_Lara]

If i have to pay her for her work, then that would mean she's gonna have to provide her own food and needs and pay for her rent if she's staying in the comfy room I provided for the both of us if i'm actually the bread winner who pays the house of course. I might as well just treat her like an employee instead of my wife but this is a family not business and I don't want to be her boss. But instead, a husband who cares and give her affection and even give her what she want and even lend her money if necessary (while I try not to spoil her of course)

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Also she is not going to get the privilege of being a wife someone providing for her.

[Celtero]

I mean... they sorta are.

I don't think it'd be too radical to figure out a sort of allowance for a housewife either, but that might be kind of degrading.

Anyway... this isn't the 1970s anymore, most women need to work to afford to live.

[RealMarek]

Housewives (and the rarer stay-at-home dads) do not get a salary because the idea of the family is that the couple act as a team. The person staying at home benefits materially from the person earning the income, and that person has the increasingly difficult burden of earning enough income to support the whole family.

[Pete671]

perfectly said!,,,

[NathanDavis]

paid by... ? the government? the spouse? the feds, city, state?

I live by myself, and I keep up with the duties because this is where I live... lol, nobody is forcing me, these are my choices and my responsibilities as a householder.

[pleasestopthis]

Being a housewife is a hard work, but it's the part she contributes with while her husband is away working hard and supporting the house. Depending of the house finances I think it's great when they get a certain allowance to her own spendings.
I work now so I can't even think how frustrating is to be home all day long and without having my own money to spend in small things

[cth96190]

No, they should not be paid.
Who would pay them?
The role of housewife is implied in the marriage contract.
The idea is part of the lunacy if Marxists, whose goal is to destroy the family as per the Communist Manifesto (Marx, 1854).
Any woman who is so stupid that she supports the idea should not have children. Her genes should not be passed on.

[jasco]

I mean you do get paid in terms of having much more time with the kids. You get to be lazy, you get to relax when everything is done. You don't have to worry about money as much. There are many benefits to being a housewife from what I can see. Of course their are bad sides to it as well but yea

[Jessica405]

No. If the guy works and the girl doesn't, she is getting free accomodation, free food, free energy, landline and broadband, free everything.

If both work, it is different. The chores should be shared. Stil no payment needed, though.

[Feelicks]

There should be a universal basic income so that stay-at-home moms, the elderly, and the homeless can be taken care of. Fit, able, and otherwise free to work people could use it as a springboard to enhance their education or start businesses.

It's pretty much the only way that society is going to get through the next wave of AI automation-driven job loss without bread lines riots and mass suicides.

[sixtyeightplusone]

umm, every business in the country has a help wanted sign out so not today skippy

[Feelicks]

Clearly you've never been to Detroit.

[jaybee281]

Yea if I considered her a maid - That's the woman I love taking care of our kids and home while I'm out getting easy money - I'll make financial decisions obviously but whatever her valid needs are we'll get it..

[Anonymous]

It's not clear to me why she should expect to be. Yes it's work but it only benefits herself, and potentially her partner.
You could argue that indirectly, society benefits as she's supporting her partner. Would he do well without her? In some cases yes, others perhaps not so much.
If she's also a mother, she's also probably responsible for raising children. The next generation of tax payer. For this, many societies do recognise with child support payments of various kinds.

[Anonymous]

Who would pay them? Why do women over-dramatize the smallest things that they do in order to make it seem like they are constant victims.

If they are in a relationship with someone then they can negotiate who does what and who contributes what to the relationship. If they dont like it they can leave. WHERE IS THE VICTIM?

[Peppermint55]

If they do not earn and do only the household, I don't think they should be paid.
If they earn, husband and wife should share the house-tasks or hire a maid.
Anything other than these two conditions are biased.

[just_a_potato]

Uh no, no one told you to have a child. And you shouldn't need a wage to care for your own flesh and blood. The reward is raising a good human being. 😊

[TheSpaceGnome]

In the context presented in that image? Yes.

If she doesn't cook, clean, or take care of a child? No.

Housewives are appreciated, gold diggers are not.

[exitseven]

Who pays? Does the husband pay? or do the taxpayers pick up the tab because the democrats are trying to buy the housewife vote?

[hellacray]

Wtf...

If the husband is providing everything that's not enough?

[msc545]

It is never enough.

[hellacray]

Ok well then I'm kicking her out and hiring a maid.

One less mouth to feed.

[SlightlyEccentric]

Having a child is a choice. If you're not financially prepared for one, maybe not have one? Just a thought.

[KrakenAttackin]

They are paid for their work. Women make over 63% of consumer spending decisions. What does a man do? He comes home from work and basically hands over his check to his less-than-appreciative wife.

[bamesjond0069]

No. Because they would just have to give all the money back to the man for the bills. Unless the man has a shit job like mcdonalds, he's paying more than half so her contribution would be 100%. So its just a useless masterbatory exercise.

[Dragonpurple]

Who would actually pay the house wife?

Generally a house wife is that position for a reason, and shares in the income of their spouse.

When spouses share everything, not sure who would actually pay the house wife.

[Mangospacho]

Yes. A starting rate of $80/hr plus benefits plus profit sharing and dividends and a retirement plan. It should be funded by people who don’t have kids.

[anon_teen]

"It should be funded by people who don't have kids." Why? It was that woman's choice to have kids and stay at home. Others who don't have/want to have kids shouldbt have to pay for someone else's choices.

[Mangospacho]

@anon_teen I was half joking. Of course it shouldn’t be funded by “childless” people. I was playing both sides because if I say that receiving housing and food is compensation then someone will say that I’m being insensitive but if I say it should be $2,000 per day then it’s obvious how ridiculous the proposition is because it would HAVE to be funded by people who don’t have children because people who have children would gladly take the $80/hr instead of working a 9-5 job.

No the man pays for the roof over her head and pays for her hair to be done and pays for her clothes, pays for her food, pays for her entertainment, pays for her car, pays for her bills and so on

[DaveToo]

They receive housing, food, entertainment, unlimited sexual pleasure, and an open bank account.

[4dmins-4-13itches]

It's not really contributing to society other than maybe raising a good kid. So I'd say mothers should be paid for their work but housewife? Nah

[deeks1121]

Subsidised yes. If you can't afford it then you shouldn't be doing it. But at the same time I realise that modern day wages do not reflect on the cost of living

[kitty71]

Of course yes and yes. That is a very hard sacrified job

[Miristheiss]

Who will be paying this person to clean their own home?
Who?

[kitty71]

@Miristheiss it be like a salary from her own husband.

[JCT666]

Being paid for basic responsibilities? I don't think so.

[TwoToTooTutu2]

They get paid by the Money maker, so they already do.

[michael1469]

Hmmm a roof over head, food in the frig, a car, fuel, insurance, clothes... seems to me they already are.

[Bellatris]

Who would pay them though? Who is their employer?

[princeofromance]

They are rewarded in other ways. Very special, intimate ways.

[mistixs]

Well they get paid in housing

[888theGreat]

I would pay her back every night. Plus the home, food, and paid bills.

[Paul09]

Isn't that what the husband does already? Or she can actually get a real job lol.

[Anonymous]

They are paid... they get to live i. a house they don’t pay for and spend money someone with a real job makes.

[Anonymous]

They are. They get food, accommodation, utilities, clothing, an open work schedule, etc.

[Anonymous]

Alright world, this is a stick up!

If you dont all start paying me, Im not going to wipe my asshole anymore.

[DWornock]

I voted yes since all housewives are paid for their work and and to a lesser extent even for what they don't do.

[sixtyeightplusone]

They should get semen to eat every night and every morning. And extra on weekends

[Browneye57]

They are. They get dick now and again, right? LOL

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes Housewives should be paid

[sp33d]

No, they really shouldn't.

[msc545]

No. It is their contribution to the marriage.

[anylolone]

Yes, and they should pay for their expenditures.

[Drumlin2001]

Who's going to pay them?

[Reah1]

Allowance

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I think that sounds kinda fair

[jahaims]

Nope...

[GerdaNevsehir]

No, they should not
