No. It is not wrong if a woman wants to stay home. It is not wrong if a woman wants to work outside of her home. That is a decision that boils down to the individual. Do you want to stay home or work outside of the home? Just understand that if you choose to stay home then you give more of your personal financial power to him. so if anything bad happenes...say a divorce...you will not have your own personal income to fall back on. Since he will be making all the money...he will have the final say over how he wants his money to be spent. On the other hand...if he disagrees with you working then he has insecurity issues and or maybe some underlying control issues. if a woman doesn't work then she hands over more power to him. Now...i'm not trying to argue about power here...but mainly just personal independence through your own job making your own money. My man doesn't want me to work either. But guess what? I'm not giving up that power to him. I work my own job i make my own money. if he works...I work. if he is busy...i'm busy. but if you choose to stay home then stay home. if you want to work the work. you have to be happy with that decision...not him.

This is up to the ones in the marriage and if you dont feel you need to work outside the home then dont and let your husband be the one bringing in the money and you take care of the house and be there for him when he gets home. This is actually a good thing.

My wife is a stay at home mom. It is by our choice that she does this. She puts in more hours than I do! Plus our kids are way ahead of the kids in daycare because she works with them everyday. To answer your question, it is not wrong to not work outside the home. You may not have as many material things but your kids will thank you for it later in life.

no, there is nothing wrong I am a stay at home mom.It is more convenient cause I clean the house,fix food and am their for my husband from a long days work ready to relax him.Ready to spoil him or my kids. I have time to my self also,when I was working I would come home stressed and bicthy sometimes not all the time. It just is up to the person.

If husband and wife agree that wife should stay home, that's where she should be. I've noticed people being judgmental about others lifestyle choices. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks except for you and your spouse. Keeping a house running smoothly is a full time job, no matter what anyone else says!

Not at all.. I would love to be a stay at home mom when I have kids. I think it allows more personal time with the chlidren and a more stable life, knowing that someone will be home when they get home, knowing that they dont have to worry if the babysit will back out.. etc.

It is right for either parent to be the primary care giver if at all possible. It gives children a greater sense of security and you know what they are learning!
Good Luck & Blessings
P.S. You and your spouse have to do what you think is the best for your family and home---faw-git-a-bow-t what outsiders have to say.

Of course not! It's all about what works for both of you. Whatever decision you both make, say it with confidence and say it proudly. There are always going to be the "dream squashers" (as I like to call them) who want to make you feel bad about your choices.

It is probably better that the woman does not work outside the home
if there are any children in the family....
