Independance is the key word. I think that you should teach her to be her own person, no matter what decisions she chooses to make in her lifetime. *If you raise her to have characteristics of a "housewife" than that is all she will ever know how to do. But if you put it in her head at a young age that she can keep an open mind about anything and tell her to choose her own path, that will teach her that being a "housewife" is okay AND being an "entrepreneur" or being a "doctor" or being a "lawyer" is okay too. Teach her the valuable things in life and everything will fall into place. But remember that whatever you do is bouncing off of you and reflecting on her because you are the parent and you are the person she will follow. Everything she does reflects on how good or bad her parents raised her or where she came from.

I think to some extent a person (man or woman) will always want to be taken care of in some way, whether it be with money and gifts or with a good home. Either of thos ethings can be earned however by either a man or woman. if you have a girl she should be raised so that she knows she has whatever opportunity she wants because no matter what it is chances are there is a place for it. Some people are naturally driven to get something for her own instead of having it handed to her, if you have a daughter who is like that then encourage that behavior. Mostly it seems like if kids are handed everything they want from birth then they won't learn to work for it.

Heck my mom still thinks I should marry rich, lol. This is coming from a business savvy, intelligent, self proclaimed independent, modern woman (my mom that is) Talk about a hypocrite.
I think it stems from society & upbringing but unfortunately we're living in a material world & money does all the talking. If I had a daughter, I'd raise her to be a strong, confident woman with a strong sense of self-worth which is key.
But our generation is way different from our mothers where women married rich and were not suppose to work let alone study (sort of like that movie Monalisa Smile)
In fact a lot of ambitious women hold off marriage as they want to establish themselves career-wise than settling down.

I am a stay at home mom of 4. I am only 24 years old. No one "raised" me to be a housewife. I take great pride in what I do. I am not dissing working moms either. I feel I am fortunate to be able to stay home. Working moms sacrifice a lot to provide for their children. But at the same time, when you go to work you get paid a wage, you have a start and end to your shift. My job is never ending. I absolutely love it and would not trade it and I don't like everyone thinking that because we don't work outside of the home that we just sit on the couch watching soaps and eating twinkies. I barely have time to eat anything much less sit down and watch tv at the same time. No I did not "find" a man to take care of me. I take care of my man!! If you think this means I have no self worth come live my life for a week...really PLEASE I could use a vacation

Start building a good character in her with good morale values. Make sure you much emphasis with realization of good values in life. Off course support her on her wishes and give her lots of encouragements. She has to learn from mistakes and it's the best way to learn. Off course the good morale and the realization of values in life with definately intiate her to be a good wife or housewife and a mother.

It is always but proper to guide and instill in your children the right values to prepare them to be responsible enough to meet the challenges they will surely encounter when they grow up and face the world. Solid moral values, and putting God as the center of ones life never fails.

You raise her to be a productive member of society, so that when the time comes, she can choose to do what ever she wants.

I think you need to raise a child who can make independent choices, and then support them if they choose to become a housewife.

Lead her in the right direction by showing her multiple avenues then support her decisions. Make sure you teach her to clean up behind herself regardless of where she is.

she is a human, not a robot. alow her to pursue her dreams, dont raise her to clean up after ppl. she can grow up to be whatever she wants to be, as long as she has moral support from her parents.
