In general, I would say "no" it's not wrong and if you have the means, more power to ya. But depending on what type of woman she is, she might get bored doing it for a long time. And you defiantly do not want to look at you life 10, 20 years from now wishing you could have or should have. So enjoy homemaking for now, but continue advancing and following your dreams. Remember to take care of you first otherwise you won't be able to take care of anyone else.

I am a stay home mom and I get very bored I keep the housework perfect,clothes clean,and have dinner on table when hubby gets home and take care of my four month old.I would not leave her with someone else to raise but its not all roses to stay home sometimes i wish i could just get in the car and not come home for a couple of days.Sometimes you just get tired of doing the same old thing everyday and plus I don't have any girlfriends to talk to,I never go out alone.There is no me time whatsoever.Those are the disadvantages the advantages are being there for my little girl and my husband when they need me.Not missing those first moments of my baby's development.I don't have to worry bout money my husband makes enough.I pretty much have anything i want.I dont go on big shopping sprees but occasionally I will ask hubby for some wants and he has no problem getting me whatever i want but i don't go spending all his money like some stay home moms do.So its up to the couple and how things work best for them and if the money is enough to pay the bills.

Absolutely not. Whether you have children or not, if you are financially able to stay home, then by all means do so. Studies have proven that women who work at full-time jobs have higher cases of heart disease attributed to stress than women who don't work/stay home. I'm not saying that women shouldn't work, just stating the facts. The same is true for men. In general work can be bad for your health. LOL. Depending on the job, work can be very stressful. The number one killer of firefighters, for example, is heart attacks. But work can also be rewarding. It depends on the person and their occupation. So if you can afford to stay home, stay home. Ultimately it's your choice and what you want and need to be happy. Don't care what others think. If that's the reason for this question, then follow your inner guidance. You know the answer for yourself. Simply do what makes you happy, as long as it isn't harming someone else. That's always a good philosophy in life.

nope, not wrong at all. The only thing I would be concerned about is if something were to happen in which she could no longer afford to be a homemaker, to have something in place, either some kind of job skill or insurance as a back up plan. Maybe they will start to sell divorce insurance, what a concept!

I am a stay mom, and its not as easy as people think. Sometimes I feel like I'm being taken for granted, but I wouldnt change it for million dollars because I enjoy taking care of my family. I have to be the chef, three times a day, I have to be a mother, I'm the cleaning lady that picks up after everyone, cleaning the house and doing the laundry. I have to spend quality time with my children and be sexy to my husband without getting paid. Its very rewarding. I say go for it and enjoy life with your family. Good luck sweetie.

I am a stay at home wife and mother of two wonderful children. I am able to volunteer at my children's schools, help my husband network, manage our rental property business, and sell Avon! We aren't rolling in money, but we have enough to pay our bills, have a bit of fun, and build our savings. I have had several conversations with my husband regarding our choice for me to stay at home and we agree that this is where I belong. Our kids are happy and thriving because I am able to devote so much time to them. Our 12 year old son just made it to State with his Nanotechnology Club AND he is on AB Honor Roll. I am able to take our 9 year old daughter to dance, library, and play dates without trying to juggle it around MY schedule and end up exhausted! If a woman can stay home for her family, I absolutely encourage her to do so! Once my kids are in college and my husband is retired (in 8 years), then I might return full time to the work force, but not right now!

honestly i think its better if the mom stays home with the children. the kids actually grow up better, they learn faster and are better behaved. I know from experience. My cousin's mom and dad worked all day so he was stuck with his grandma every day. He didnt talk until he was about 2 1/2 because the grandma didnt communicate with him or play with him. she let him sit alone in a room for hours playing with his toys. once i offered to baby sit him he began talking and is now a playful kid that can actually talk! When a child has someone there to talk to and play with, they are so much happier and will develop a great personality that you can appreciate! good luck!

It's not wrong - as long as the house is well kept, dinner is cooked, & the children are clean, well mannered, & doing well in school. I just don't think it's appropreiate to go off on wild spending sprees and do nothing around the house or for your hubby & kiddies.

No, it is not wrong. It is a luxury though. These days both spouses usually work just to have a decent lifestyle....not necessarily because they both want to work. If you can afford it, enjoy it. I would stay home if I could.

No, there is nothing wrong with that at all, I think it is better for the children, if you have any, to have a parent there to see them off in the morning and to welcome them home in the afternoon. It also allows you to have more free time with your spouse because you are not spending all your weekends doing the household chores.
