Anyone a housewife/husband with NO kids?

Question

I quit my job 2 weeks ago and have had job interviews but nothing yet. I do work part time. We got married 3 months ago and i worked 2 1/2 months driving back and forth 40miles ONE way for "pennies" so we decided it would be best if i quit and looked for a different job.

He makes great money: more then enough to support both of us plus some.

I LOVE being a house wife!!!!!!! I can do things I want to do, clean, cook and be focus on my husband. We don't have kids.

Is there anyone else out there that is a housewife/husband and doesn't have kids?

What do you do all day?

Do you feel quilty being home all day while your spouse works?

Answer 1

I think that you should work at least until you do have kids. So you two can safe money in order for you to be able to stay home and take care of the baby when it does come and that way ot won't put a financial strain on the two of you later on.

Answer 2

I'm retired and have two pensions. I carry my end of the load. I do all the housework and yard work however.  

Answer 3

I am now pregnant, but I was not going to work and did not work for the first six months of our marriage. We only have one car and my husband is in the Army and always needs it. Even on the weekends he can be called in and so I could not work, but he makes enough to support us. He just wants me to clean and cook for him. I do have a college degree (BA in English Literature), but we did not feel I should have to work. The primary reason we did not want me to work was because we are/were newly weds and we want to spend as much time together as we can. If we both had jobs our schedules may clash and we wouldn't get to spend as much time together as we wanted.

Answer 4

I used to stay home all day while my ex worked.  I cleaned, went shopping, cooked and did whatever needed to be done except mowing (which I hate).  No I never felt guilty because I was also working, just not outside the home.

Answer 5

i stay at home & we have no kids.

i clean & all that fun stuff at home.

& i don't feel guilty at all.  

Answer 6

I played housewife or a little while after we got married.  He said I didn't have to work if I didn't want to.  I stayed home for one week and went CRAZY! I was so bored and found myself just waiting for him to come home.  It just depends on what kind of person you are. I am very antsy and need to keep myself busy.  I am now working full time and loving it.

Answer 7

We have no kids either. I have lots to do all day, and the reason I am not working is because I got laid off. I usually work Part-time. I only work Part-time due to an open wound in the lower part of my left groin, which is very painful, and leaks. It is very difficult to sit all day, even if it's covered. While I'm in the process of searching for another part time job, I clean the house, cook, bake, food shopping, errands, etc. Can't do too much with only 125.00 from unemployment but I make do with what I have. I wish my husband made enough money for the both of us, because quite frankly I'd have plenty of things to do around the house.

Answer 8

We don't have kids.  I got laid off (driving 65 miles EACH way) so it was almost a blessing.  I'm pretty bored actually.  My husband works from home so we're together 24/7.  I'd like to get back to work.  I've already gained some weight & I'm not really happy.  I used to have a garden that kept me busy on weekends but now that I live with my husband it's just a concrete slab.  So yeah I'm bored.

Answer 9

It seems he would prefer you to work.
