What is your attitude toward being a housewife?

Answer 1

I am a housewife. I have no kids. I quit my job in June b/c my hubby and I bought a house and I wanted to get it in order. I love that I can do things with my home and not feel stressed b/c there's never enough time. My marriage, my home, my finances and my sanity are all taken well care of. I don't think I could say that if I worked again. Something would have to give.
I take pride in my clean house and the dinner I cook for my husband every evening. I also love the fact that I can pick up and go whenever I want. I actually control the finances. My husband isn't the type to tell me what to do or. And I don't "sit on my a** all day".
I consider myself "A lady of luxury".
I'm enjoying it now, b/c I know that when we have kids, it will all change!

Answer 2

I can't be a house wife because I cannot just sit home anddo all the chores and take care of the finances and grocery because once I am done doing all that I will get bored...I have to do more.....I cannot do that as it is a non-stop job with no pay and I cannot be without my own money or someone controlling what I spend, how much he will give, and what and when I can use it.......I need my own...I am to independent to let a man have that much control....Only time I am a housewife is when I am on vacation or on maternity leave and it is a very tiring job just like a hardworking mother....

I think it is fine if a woman can stay home and the hubby can financially afford for her to stay home....I only hope that the women who are staying home keep themselves educated by doing college courses online, a home based business or something to keep them abreast of the job market, just in case, the marriage does not work and she has to go out and find a job to take care of the kids.....

Answer 3

Having been a housewife, and having to work, I would like to say this It is a round the clock job, with no steady pay, that only offers benefits such as being constantly without privacy, sick or not still have to work and keeping peace, and organized chaos in the house is an art. You usually are unappreciated and sometimes feel invisible, but at the end of the day you can still say you have the best job in the world, being a mother. I wouldn't trade that for anything.

Answer 4

It is hard work. I enjoy having a career and working outside of the home. However, I do know several ladies who stay home with the children and enjoy this role. They have husbands who maintain the financial responsibility for their life. I think if really depends on what makes one happy. I get very bored being at home everyday. I personally need to be out in the world working and then come home to the family. However, this is what I have always done and I have been a single parent for a very long time God bless****.

Answer 5

i think it's good, coz you can totally concentrate on rasing your kids, taking care of your husband and taking care of the housework. actually i know some men like their wife to be a housewife. i just feel that there's a certain kind of beauty in housewife also. but also there are downsides, like lacking social contact, finding hard to communicate with husband etc, then i think you need to strike a balance between things.

Answer 6

From the man's perspective I think its important to take pride in having a clean house and getting a hot meal on the table for your husband when you get home. Also, being there for the children is important. There is nothing wrong with a woman donning the apron instead of picking up a briefcase.

Answer 7

i am a housewife and as long as you are doing your duty as a housewife it is a satisfying job. If you sit and watch TV it will soon end.

Answer 8

A leading role to control your family. Faithful to husband, a caring mother, competent enough to struggle in worst case for the benefit of the family, respect views of husband or elders at the same time not to hesitate to express your opinion.

Answer 9

I feel if you can afford to be a housewife then go for yours.

Answer 10

domesticity was the belief that a woman's place was in the house and it was believed that she should posses piety, purity, passiveness, and domesticity the cult of domesticity began after the industrial revolution when men had to leave the house to work, leaving women to work the land and teach the children. then women began to develop their separate spheres discussing culture, education, religion, and other things. they read among other things the godey's lady's book which fed into this even more.
