I Dont Believe In Dating Just For the Sake of Dating

[c=#7700B2]feminists will hate me for this but I wish relationships were kinda like the old days.. you get married, have a faithful hard working husband who provides while the wife stays at home looking after the kids and cooking and whatever..

lol I say that but I would never allow myself to rely on someone financially like that but its a nice thought.
I love playing with kids and enjoy cooking.. It all seems so much less stressful compared to these days..

ahh the thought is nice at least[/c]

The problem with that scenario....traditionally, since he provides for you, he is in full control of your life, money,social life, it's slavery...your fantasy. If both people have equal power and agree to the terms...kids would be lucky to have Mom home when they woke up and came home from school. Women should receive a paycheck for bringing up the kids, creating and maintaining a home for the family...a very serious job...7 days a week. Feminists will only get mad at you if you were to give up your power to your partner

@Fernie: those were the assumptions I was making. Modern equality with traditional consepts. One parent at home, or both parents working with grandparents at home. Family equity regardless of the role a person plays. Financial and communal decisions all made together regardless of who brings home the paycheck. Because all are working.
One thing that interferes with "traditional concepts" is the marrage penalty tax here in the USA. Taxes discourage behavior. That one has worked quite well.

@PlumBerries: Who pays them?

The dollar value of raising a family is almost bankrupting. The value of a mother's and fathers role (I don't care the sex or gender of either of those roles) is priceless. The roles should be entered into willingly and duly compensated. Not just monetarily but in appreciation of the other by the other. That would be pay enough for my team effort.@ShoesOfWanderingITMFA:

@JoanieNewHampshire: I was asking plumberries who pays the women in Australia to raise their own kids.
