What does that even mean?
This concept, I cannot fathom. I understand that not everyone "needs" to have a job, but unless you married into money or are going to school fulltime, my belief is that you should work. This is not 1947. I do not see why some ladies scream this from the rooftops like it is something to be proud of.

In my opinion, it is just lazy, with a CAPITAL L. If you are able bodied enough to work, and you have no obligations that prohibit you from working, why not work. Even if every little bit goes into a savings account for emergencies or a baby, it's still more than what you would have if you didn't work at all.
Please, if there is a sensable reason that one would choose to be a "stay at home wife" please enlighten me.

I agree. Unless we won the lottery or something I would be working until that baby pops out. I don't look down on people who are stay at home wives, but I just think I would be sooooo bored! There's only so much cooking & cleaning you can do right?
ReplyDeletegood lord yes. cleaning [blech], cooking, not so bad.
ReplyDeleteI dont think a woman should stay home unless she has small children or a medical reason that inhibits her from working. Its lazy to be honest. Why let your husband hold all the burden? WHy not work your butt off until you have a child and save all your money if you dont need to work? Its nice to have a cushion and contribute something to the family. Caring for your child and keeping house is contributing but if you do not have a child yet, then stop being lazy and get off your arse.
ReplyDeleteTell me, are these people medically frigid or is it psychological?
ReplyDeleteI personally don't get it, especially the really young SAHW. When I was job searching after my Masters and had't gotten anything for a month I got a part-time job waiting tables because I got bored.
