I think I need a shovel for this one... this is all bu** cra*..
Where the heck did that come from.
Independence if you choose it is a wonderful thing.
If the woman goes out and works, then the household jobs get split between the two working people... that is the only change I can see.
If a gal wants to work, then do it.... no one is tied or has to stay sheltered in these days, otherwise you will be left in the dark ages..
. Societys family has changed a great deal since 1950 when Donna Reid was the home maker. that you saw on TV....
Nowadays you need two paychecks to keep up with household expenses and children.
If a woman is able , then she certainly should want to help financially, but she will also share the apron with the male... think about what you are asking for... cause you each will be doing 50% of the household work besides you job...
I don't agree with the "selfish pantie waisted stuff.....If something is necessary to help, then you should jump on with both feet

I'm in the US. Your comments sound to me like you live in another country. The USA used to have that same attitude up until about the 1970's. Now it's just "equality" here.
It used to be that women stayed home (worked at home), and definitely stayed home to teach the children and be there for them. When I married in the late 1960's I "asked" if I could work since we had no children. Today, and these days, I'd be "expected" to work. But, I still believe a man should provide for his wife, or wife and children. Those men are very difficult to find these days. I wouldn't call them a name though for thinking otherwise, as the change is merely a sign of the times.

Being a homemaker is honorable work, and the answer to your question is yes, to a great extent, except that society has now been structured to mandate two incomes most of the time.
We are now living in the "daycare" generation, where children are deprived of the care and love of their mother during much of their growing up. The ideal circumstance is how things used to be, not how it presently is.
Liberalism is largely to blame, including the high taxes imposed that usually forces both spouses to work.

If a woman stays at home:
1) The house better be spotless
2) Sex is whenever and however I say it is.
3) Any and all other tasks are to be done by the stay at home.
4) Never is the stay at home to gain weight and waste time watching soaps or Oprah or whatever. The TV is for me.

The whole point is to show men that we (women) can do both. We can hold down a fulltime job, cook dinner, wash clothes, help with homework, do the shopping, change the diapers and force ourselves to make mad passionate love to him when he wants. Now do you really think a man can do all of that and stay sane?

I love staying home.
I get to train my dogs... go to the gym, keep a clean house, go to the beach when I want to. I'm never too tired for sex. I make gourmet meals for my husband.... and his single friends. I fix his lunch every morning, and go takes breaks with him when he asks me to. I am at his beck and call, and I love it. We have the best relationship, one that is not stressful, but full of love.
As a woman that worked my BUTT off before marriage, this is one heck of a vacation... I disagree that we are too delicate... but hey, sounds good to me.

I agree with a lot of what you said sweetie, except to answer your question, I think some men expect their wives to work because they are lazy and others because they are greedy and want more. Very few men would NEED their women to work if they just learned to make do with less.

What decade are you from. Women are much stronger than men ever thought of being. And most men can't earn enough by themselves to support a family.
