A homewife vs. A successful work wife?

Question

Which would you perfer to have?

Answer 1

I had a great job and now I am a stay at home mom. To me the job I do at home is alot more important than any amount of money. I love my kids and my husband. We aren't rich money wise, but we have everything we need and most of what we don't. My kids are happier and so is my husband. He has a hot meal waiting for him when he gets home and a loving family to sit down with. We get along alot better than we did when it was a passing at the door on the way to and from work.

Answer 2

As someone who considers himself a man (military vet, firefighter, martial artist, leads from the front, works hard, doesn't whine, is always striving to improve, works out, treats women with respect, etc)...

...I would prefer she stay home and raise the kids.

I'd rather have my kids grow up having their loving mom around, taking walks, drawing, making faces, etc...than a wife that worked full time just so we could...what...own a better car or bigger house?

Screw that, my kids would be more important.

But as someone else said, there is no reason not to have another stream of income. An ebay business or many other ideas to make extra money which could help with bills, college fund, small investment, etc.

Women who act like women and raise their own kids, instead of letting a daycare raise them, are hot.

You can pay someone to raise your kids, but you can't pay someone to love them.

Answer 3

Successful work wife...which means that as the guy, you need to take over some of the house activities to keep the place up.

If something ever happened to my wife, I'd like to know that she was in a position to be able to go on without me. Plus it puts our family in a little less financial risk.

Answer 4

My parents raised me to work so that is what I do. My boyfriend and I have a 5 month old daughter and we hardly ever get to see her on the weekdays since we are both working (she stays with grannie during the day). I never thought I would say it but I would prefer my boyfriend to go to work and me stay home with the baby. I think he would rather it be that way too. Too bad we can't afford it. I think the government should start paying stay at home moms for the function they perform in the family, instead of the working moms paying a daycare so they can work to help provide for the family, which is a different function.

Answer 5

I am female and prefer my husband. I am a professional woman and used to be a house wife. I loved staying at home and taking care of the kids and the house. Unfortunately, I have to work to support us now. Thank you.

Answer 6

A successful homewife.

Answer 7

Oh by the way a housewife is just as successful as a working wife.

Answer 8

What about a homewife that has a successful business from home? And what IS a 'homewife' anyway?

Answer 9

i honestly believe in the wife staying home,if they have one child or any others.the kids turn out better,there is discipline,somebody knows where they are at all the time,and they get to know who their friends are.not to say i was right,but i stayed home with mine until they were out of middle school.then i went to work.i'm glad my kids got to come home to their own house,and not a day care. if you need the money,that's different,but non working is my vote.

Answer 10

successful / unsuccessful worker wife
