housewife/housemom?

Question

what do u think about someone being a housewife or house mom that doesn't work?

like my bf said when we get married he will take care of me and i can just be a housewife/ mom and basically just keep the house nice and clean and take care of him and the kids(if/when we have them.) I think it's sweet. Cause like i have hobbies and i know i probably will have a job til kids but everyones like if ur a housewife/mom ur a gold digger but i dont think of it like that.

it was his idea he said i never have to work cause he wants to be able to support me 100% but said if i choose to do something he wont hold me back.

i know a mother is a big job because i babysat today and the 4 kids i baby sat had no manners, were disrespectful, rude, etc and i think its cause there mom isnt there enough to pay attention to them and teach them whats right.. and when my mom told her the kids were rude she said they never act like how i said like i was making it up

Answer 1

I have been a house wife, stay at home mom for 12 years. During that time I went back to school, less that part time to get my nursing degree. It is what I wanted & what my hubby wanted. It works for us!!!

Answer 2

I think that it would be a good idea.. And if you have hobbies you could always start a business online, like selling stuff on ebay and still making alittle money. I bet if you asked some people what they thought about their parents both being gone all the time they would say they would have changed things. I wish my mom would have been a housewife when we were younger. It would have made us much closer..

I dont think that this makes you a housewife, but remember you will still need time to get away, so join a group or something, so you still have some get away time from your home. (maybe ask a question on what other housewives think of it, and what they do or what they wouldnt have done)...

Best of Luck

Answer 3

i dont think that by being a housewife makes you a gold digger.
i have always wanted to get married, have kids and become a housewife because i like that traditional role or mothering and looking after the household chores and taking care of the man i love.
when i met my hubby, we talked about what we both wanted in life and i was honest.
i have never been career orientated and i dont think there is anything wrong with that.
my hubby didnt care what i chose to do once we had kids, he said it was my decision to make.
we got married almost 2yrs ago and i am now 13weeks pregnant.
we have bought our own home, and i am currently paying the repayment from my wage and he pays for our living expenses and savings.
when i have the baby, i will leave work to look after him/her and possibly have a couple more children. i will also be lloking to do some work at home on a part time babsis just to earn abit more cash and when our last one is in school, i will get a full time job.
i dont think its right, especially if we can afford living on one income, that i put my child/ren in childcare and have some one else raise my kid/s and basically work to pay them to do it.
i want to be there for my kids, to raise them well and discipline them so they grow up to be considerate and respectfull human beings.

Answer 4

I am a housewife/mom and I see no problem with someone the wife or husband staying home to take care of the house and children. By providing a clean safe home for your family you are doing your job. Any one who says we are gold diggers are idiots and just does not see joy in taking care of you family.

Answer 5

honestly if this is something that a person wants to do then i have to qualms about them. As its whatever make them happy. Many women or men are better at homemaker and more family orientated than others at other things.

The only time i even think any which way about this is if a woman stays home only because their spouse wants them to be a housewife and its not something that they truly want to do. Reason i feel some way about this is because no one should put their hopes and dreams aside to fulfill what another person wants them to be.

As far as children being rude cause the parent was at work, some parents have to work, and all aren't able to stay at home . Many children are spoiled and rude cause their parents give in to all of their whims and only want to be their friend in stead of the punisher. Yes it would be lovely if everyone could stay at home but its not the world we live in. children behave from what they are thought, my sister and her husband work and are at home at night, my neice and nephew have very good manners. Cause from day 1 she has taught them to say yes ma'am no ma'am , yes thank you, please, your welcome. Its all about the way the parent raise them, yes children need attention and just because a parent works doesn't mean the child is needy for attention

Answer 6

Some people like staying home and taking care of the house, chores, kids etc and some just can't do it. If you do decide to stay home, make sure you have a hobby and some friends. You have still got to "get out there" and be your own person whether that be at home or the tradtional work place.

Answer 7

I dont like the term house wife or house mom if u have kids and u stay at home with them then u are a stay at home mom but if u take care of the house while he works then u are a domestic goddess...

Answer 8

I have stayed at home with the kids while my fiance has worked for the past 11 years. It is not as easy as some people think but it is worth it. You will basically be working around the clock taking care of your family but the rewards outweigh the disadvantages. Good luck!

Answer 9

Being a stay at home Mom and taking care of house, hubby and kids is no small task. People who have to work have to hire other people to clean house, take care of kids, lawn work, repairs etc. If you want to be a stay at home Mom, god bless you.

Answer 10

If your husband makes very good money and you can afford it, go ahead. If not, get a job.

Since you don't any have kids - when you say hobbies, are you actually doing something productive with your time?

Because if all your going to do keep the couch warm, get a job.
