I totally agree now if i could only find a man who could afford to support me so that i didnt have to work . i would much rather stay at home or be able to go out shopping or lunching with my friends but last time i checked that required money and if only one person is working that money is all going towards the bills

Do a budget. How much do you need to live? Is there any money for discretionary funds? Do you have plans for discretionary money?
Whether or not someone works should be based on finances, not the other partner's opinion. We'd be living in poverty if I didn't work. However, if my man made tons of money, and he could provide for the household indpendently, then maybe I'd just find something part time that contributes to the community and keeps my mind alive.
Staying home, and I did this for 7 years, is ok, except your brain begins to rot.
Also, I gotta say, nothing I did in the home earned me any respect on the part of my spouse.
So, I guess, if you're making good money, and willing to recognize the contribution your woman makes by being home, go for it......

I feel that if a woman wants to stay at home in order to raise her children it is a good choice. I also feel that some women prefer to work outside of the home for their emotional and financial well being. A woman should be allowed to make that choice if at all possible, especially if the additional income is not needed for necessities, i.e., house payment, utilities, etc. Many women find it more economical to stay at home with the high costs of daycare, wardrobe for work, etc. I believe that the choice should be made by the woman.

That sentiment isn't exactly feasible in this day and age-unless the husband has a very high paying job! And for those women that are housewives-that's hard work in itself,and if there is a child,then it's a job where you are on call 24/7. There's housecleaning,cooking,grocery shopping,budgeting,child care,nurse duties,laundry,ironing-the list goes on. Just think how much it would cost to employ someone to provide all these services!

It would be nice since women are meant to clean up the home, take care of the children, etc. And the man to support the wife and family.
However, if the woman wants to work, let 'em be!
With how it is now a days, it's difficult.

I think men who think like that should get out of the stone ages.... alot of women would prob like to stay home with the family but unfortunatey the way of the world these days alot of them have to work so they can keep on top of things..... but i think if they don't need to work it should be up to the individual whether they do or not....... i am a single mum at the moment and i work 30 hrs a week but even wen i was with my ex we both worked it didn't disrupt the family or ruin my kid....

I wish it were like that, that's when AMERICA was a great country. Unfortunately, it takes 2 incomes today, and this is what has ruined our country. Women have to work, thus leaving kids with nannies, eating fast foods, stressing out, causing divorces through the roof due to cheating at work. It is all a vicious cycle. It has destroyed the family unit in this country. What a shame !
Of course you will get bashed by the women libbers shortly.

being as i am a stay at home mom, i agree to a point. but if a woman is into having a career then it should be her choice. with that said, if a woman chooses to stay home and take care of the kids, and the husband then the husband shouldn't use that against her. like him saying" i make the money so its my way", or coming home and saying" well what have u done all day" cause let me tell ya dishes dont get done by themselves. dinner doesnt cook itself. kids dont drive themselves to school, well little kids anyways. pets dont take themselves to the vet.
anyways, both parties in a relationship should be supportive to one another. whether one stays at home or one is the "bread winner"!!!

That is the most ideal thing for all wife and also a dream of all woman but unless the husband can support us we woman need to work to match the ever rising standard of living and I think woman have more confident working and are more stabilise financially
I vote woman must work even after married.

I think it's bollocks. Even if a woman doesn't want to work, Western society is too expensive for a single income family to live comfortably (unless you're Donald Trump or someone rich like that). As for me, I'd be screwed if I didn't work, and I'd be wholly unsatisfied, being the sort of woman who isn't inclined toward breeding and housework.
