Question

When I grow up i want to be a house wife, is that wrong?

Answer 1

Yes.  Seems like at the outset of your life/marriage, you don't want to take responsibility for your own financial well-being.  Go to college, get a degree and have some kind of background/experience to rely on.  What if your husband suddenly dies in a car accident?  What would you do for $$$?  How would you raise/feed your children?  What kind of life would they have?  Why wouldn't you look to YOURSELF to provide for yourself?  Why are you looking to someone else to support you?

Answer 2

it isn't wrong, it's admirable. i do believe that you should have a college education. You never know when he could leave you or he could pass away at an early age and you'd need to support yourself somehow. being a wife and mother are the most rewarding, zero paying job that any woman could have.

Answer 3

Keep reading Yahoo answers so you can see how many women can't leave abusive or lazy husbands because they have no income or way of supporting themselves. Be sure to start your own business or develop an internet business so you are not dependant on some guy!

Answer 4

nooo ;; that is my plan too, AFTER I settle down w.my love

Answer 5

There's nothing wrong with that at all and don't let anyone tell you that there is.

Answer 6

Hey, someone like me! I dont think it is at all. I had two dreams, to be a house wife and at home mom, and also have a career, which Im working on the house wife and at home mom thing for now, and later as my son gets older I plan to go to college and have a career.

Its not wrong for some women to be more interested in being at home. There are needs around the house just as well as an income.  

Answer 7

What happens if you don't meet a man who wants to marry you? or one who leaves you? or you end up in an unhappy marriage with no means of supporting yourself?

Get a decent education and a profession or skill. Then if and when you meet and marry someone discuss with HIM if he wants a 'Housewife'. Perhaps he will be happy for you to stay at home whilst you raise your children, perhaps he won't. Perhaps YOU won't! Whatever happens, keep your options open.

Answer 8

No, but don't get too disappointed if it doesn't work out that way. Things don't always go how we think they will. I think it is great you want to stay home and take care of the house and your hubby. I did it for over 4 years before having our Daughter and I am still home taking care of her and homeschooling her now that she is 6. I love it and don't want things to change and my hubby loves it too, but I always keep a plan in the back of my mind on what to do just in case. You never know when life will throw you a curve ball.  

Answer 9

why?

Being a housewife is a lonely job, that NEVER ends.

What happend when the kids grow up, and move out and you are left at home with nothing to do or no skills?

Its ok to be a housewife, but you should persue other things first....and dont forget how expensive rasing a family is..there are very very few people who can survive on one income these days. Most 'housewives' have to at least have some kind of part time job....to make ends meet.

Answer 10

No...but you'll have to marry the right kind of guy who would be able to financially support the family so that you can stay home.

Otherwise...you'll still have to work.  Meaning, you still have to get an education and go to school and get a college degree.  

Answer 11

Don't be a house wife.  You will be sorry.

Answer 12

if thats what you want to do then do it but i always wonder what to house wives do all day when the kids are at school and the husband is at work?   its seems like a lot of time o get into trouble haha

Answer 13

Nothing wrong with that, after all it is tradition.

Answer 14

no but don't depend everything on your husband and personally i don't think i could take a guy supporting me when i could do it  

Answer 15

Not wrong if you are a woman.  However, you might have a hard time finding a husband.  This day and age it takes two incomes to make it.  Anyway, even if you work outside the house or have a home based business, you are still a house wife.  You will have all the same duties, just less time to do it.

Answer 16

no it is not wrong - just do not be surprised if you goals change

i was the complete opposite when i was growing up - and now i have the best job ever - a home maker

Answer 17

Yes it is. Wait until after you prove that you can support yourself. As everyone should be able to do.

Answer 18

To each her own.

Answer 19

You should aim much much higher than that.

Any tard can be a frumpy housewife.

How about getting a career and making big bucks first....then maybe have 1 or 2 kids...but please don't be just a breeder housewife.

Answer 20

Well then, you need to find a man that makes a lot of money. Few households, especially with children, can survive on a single person's salary. The best thing to do would be to go to college and get a degree and get some work experience, in case your marriage doesn't work out. I don't know where you live, but in the US the divorce rate is around 50%.

Answer 21

that is ur choice i have no problem with u being a house wife  

Answer 22

no...if thats wat u want to be then its okay...lol but ur parents will try to make u think about sumthin else....

Answer 23

ABC news tonight had a story on the dilemma of working women wanting it all, getting judged more and being expected to be the caregiver, etc.

It reported on a survey where 2 out of 5 working women said they'd rather have husbands who earned more so they could stay home.

Economics, the need for two incomes, drives both partners to work more than they did in the past.

Answer 24

my kind of woman! Nothing harder, more respectable than raising a family!  $100 to you!
