What is the importance of being a housewife ?

Answer 1

Housewife is complete INDEX of the family.

Answer 8

Believe it or not, I know a couple that the mother of her husband and then his wife has always provided meals etc.. for her husband. I think her husband has possibly never cooked anything in his entire life! He will sit at the breakfast table in the morning just waiting for his wife to either cook him something or just pour cereal in his bowl. He will wait for an hour if he has to.  

Answer 9

Because without them, there would be no next generation. Working women tend not to have that many kids, and the population numbers would crash if women didn't stay home to reproduce.

Answer 10

The importance of this role tends to go from one end of the spectrum to the other, soley based on whether children are involved.

It is extremely important where she is caring for children... otherwise, not so much.

Answer 11

The PC term used now is homemaker.  They do what it implies, they care for the home (this would be a huge list of chores), take care of the meals and meal planning, do the laundry, decorate, run errands, manage social life.  Literally create and make a home for their self or their partner.

If a couple chooses this lifestyle the benefit is that the one who works outside the home is free to concentrate of their work and career and support financially of the relationship.

Of course, if there are children the list is much more extensive

Working lady may not give that much time to prepare helty diet they have to content with fast food.

Answer 13

If that's what a woman chooses, then I don't have a problem with it. I do have a problem with those who feel it is their duty to shame women who choose other lifestyles to conform to what they feel is the only appropriate lifestyle for women, especially after they have children.
