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]

Well like you said mothers that stay at home full time pretty much give up everything in that regard and truly rely on their husband. Not only do I not blame a woman for not wanting to be in that position but it's also worth mentioning that there are plenty of women that have a lot more earning potential than their husbands do. Nothing wrong with him staying at home to watch the kids either.

In a perfect world a woman or a man who makes the choice to stay at home with the kids to raise them and establish that kind of home gives up nothing. @TotalEclipse:

@JoanieNewHampshire: I suppose the feeling of sacrifice is all a bit subjective...for some being at home with their children is all they want and have always wanted. For others the life outside of it tends to always be a bit of a nagging want.

@TotalEclipse: I very very much agree with you here! Not having what your desires in who you are (not talking superficial desires like money or fame etc.) is the angst and burdens of many people's lives. im mtf transgender at in itself is filled with angst. But add to it that I wanted nothing more then to be home with my children. Instead I was expected to play the role and pay the bills.

@TotalEclipse: we've pushed roles onto children and they've believed they must fulfill them to our expectations. We give them little of their own imaginations and fill them with ideas that they can't be successful unless _____. For some reason we are to affair to let them tell us what they want. And steer them with love and guidence towards thier joys. We bombard them with images that they must conform to or be cast out of social interaction.
