Is it wrong to want to be a house wife? (Page 2)

Question

With all this empowering women and everything, it makes it seem like it would be almost going backwards to want to be a housewife. Sometimes I see posts where people talk about how stupid it is and how they're throwing away their life. I don't mind staying home though and if I had kids then a double plus. I would only do it if whoever I married was financially secure and I would have proper schooling for a good job but I don't want to become someone who gets mocked for it. Would it be wrong?

I want to be a housewife too -- be a woman to my man and just spend my life trying to make him happy, make us happy --

but then things never go as they are planned... I still want to be an indoor girl though, with a man of my own is my dream but without too

It's wrong for a different reason not for the "women empowerment" issue but more along the lines off ur making him do all the work and b the sole income earner while u sit at home now I understand u would be taking care of the home issues but thats the job of both parties not just 1 person

I am a housewife and stay at home mom. Its not wrong, it's a little hard but not wrong. You do have to treat your home as a job during certain times; in the morning after I take kids to school I clean the house up real good. I enjoy it

I would want my wife to be a housewife when we have kids post her 35s unless she is a senior manager somewhere or something till the kids sfsrt school.

Kids need to have the love from their parents. I earn enough money so it’s not too much to ask for a mother

No. If that is really what you want it's better to be truthful with yourself rather than pursue a deeply misguided life direction. For example, do you really need to go into deep debt to pursue a college degree for a career that you'll end up never fully performing?

Marklaw12 · Answer

Absolutely not. However, It's not advisable to be that in this era. Not all men but some Men might treat you like thrash and cheat and claim that work is overnight. There are pros and cons to everything under the sun. Just be careful. Try having a career first so you can fall back on something.

"Empowering women" is basically the idea that women can choose to do whatever they want, being a scientist or a housewive.
Modern feminism ruined that, stating that being a housewive isn't acceptable for a woman.
This is bullshit. You want to be a housewife? Go for it, enjoy, it's your choice and no one can blame you for it.

As you mentioned, it's okay if your husband is financially secure and you have proper schooling, since it sounds like it's just your option, not the only way for you.
Otherwise being a house wife because you can't do anything else it's just sad.

Do whatever you please really. I don't understand why we are lead to think that one thing is better than other. It should be a choice free of any societal influences.

I think it's cool for you wanting to be a housewife, that's becoming rare now at days, at least to me it is.

I'm pretty sure by the way you explained your thoughts, you're get the right guy for you someday 😊

Im glad im not alone with wanting to be a housewife

Anonymous · Answer

There is nothing wrong with it at all, and in fact it's better for your children and your husband, so if it works for you, go for it.

The only people who are going to mock you for your choice are feminists, and we shouldn't care about what they think anyway.

Choosing to be one of your own volition is great. It's not great if you're forced to and have no other options

I dont think people understand the importance of raising a child. A child, especially during their developmental years, is so important. If you wanna stay home with your child, you absolutely can.

IceyA · Answer

You can be whatever you want
It's your life you should decide for it not the neo feminists

previously feminism was about men and women being equal but now it's just extremism and hate
It's something else i guess

Christiangirl99 · Answer

No i dong think its wrong. Whats empowering about being a housewife is the choice. The reality is that most women now and in the past don't have the option of staying at home.

deutzd8005 · Answer

I think it's perfectly ok to want to be a house wife. It all depends on your goals in life. I know a few woman that are just starting there twenty's are married and have kids. They stay at home and do house chores and look after the kids and are perfectly happy with there life.

House wives are very fortunate if the husband is financially secure. It’s a plus if they have a side hustle, take part in volunteering, and/or a hobby they really enjoy.

jimmy2 · Answer
