No way, I had a career for many years. But now that I stay at home with my kids, I would not change it for the world. To many are under the impression that all housewive's are uneducated. Which is not the case. Alot of the women I know that also stay home have a degree and will return to work once there kids are in school.

I think being a housewife and rainsing children is the hardest job. My wife was a career woman in corporate america and for the last 2.5 yrs she has been at home raising our daughter. It is a 365 day 24 hrs job and most imporantly the most rewarding.
I wish I could be a househusband, just need to have a few million in the bank I guess.

A lot of people view being a housewife and homemaker as just an excuse to be lazy. Personally I would like to be a housewife because working full time and raising kids is the hardest and most stressful thing! Heck, raising kids just in itself is a HUGE job, deffinately not easy! Sometimes I feel like I will just explode. Money is needed though. My husband says I can if I want but I don't want to be stressed because of lack of money. If you and your family can afford for you to stay home, more power to you!!!!!!

I am a homemaker too. We have no children yet. I too feel that sometimes people judge me as lazy because all of my friends go out and work. They have not even graduated out of college and make 40K a year whereas, I have a masters degree and do not make a penny.
I broached this matter up with my husband and he says he makes enough to support our lifestyle and that I need not compare myself with anyone around as all of us are different and we will lead a life which we choose and think is right for us and not what other's think is ideal for us.
I do not frown when a woman chooses to be a housewife. There are different elements that come into picture when making this decision.

No, I love to be a housewife. My mom didn't work when I was younger and it was the best. She helped out with school events and played with my sister and I when we got home from school. Made us snacks for when we got off the bus, helped with homework and made dinner everynight. She wasn't like all the other moms of my friends. She wasn't stressed out from working and throwing together dinner and cleaning the house. All the cleaning was done when we got home so night time was all about us.

No way. My 5yr old is very high IQ and shows ability to master anything put forth to her. Yet her goal is to be a housewife and have 5 kids, which she already has named. As a parent, my goal is to help her become the best "whatever" she wants. Only a moron would believe that I do not have anything to do in order to prepare her for her chosen future.
The problem with house-wiving is that in the past too many were relegated to that position not by choice. Consequently many performed it less than admirably--such as my mother who only contributed positively to my development when she flew the coup when I was a child.

Not at all.. The only thing is these days in most cases it takes two incomes especially if you have children..Also what happens when your kids are grown and moved out and you want to get a job just to have something to do and you can't get one because you have no experience.. I loved staying home with my kids and watching them grow everyday, but I'm paying for it now.. My ex husband had a lot to do with me not having a job also but thats another story..But all in all I think women that stay home and take care of her family are great and have a lot harder job than a lot of people that work outside the home...

NOPE....I chose to be a Homemaker, (i like that term better) and I would not trade those years for anything. As women we can chose to be anything we want. I only have one thing. A woman should be prepared for anything. If she chooses to stay home it should be because she wants to not because she can't do anything else. Women out live their husbands by 7-10 years and the divorce rate is high. Get an education so if the worst happens you can go get a job. Education is the only protection a woman has. Courts do not protect us anymore.

I'm housewife and I do get frowned on especially when I say I don't have children. I think it great that females want to stay and look after house and if they got children to look after.

MMMMmmmmm, maybe a little bit.
But it could partially be because I am a bit jealous, that I don't have the financial freedom to do it.
Women who are housewives, though, I feel should do more in life than just be a housewife. There are volunteer opportunities to help the community. She could get a part time job, just working 10 or 15 hours a week! If she is so rich that she doesn't need the money, give it to charity!
Sorry, I just believe in doing more in life than just being a housewife!!!!!
