I Believe That "Homemaker" Is a Perfectly Valid Occupation

I'm pretty sure I want to follow my mum and be a fulltime home-maker.
want to be looked after and provided for, and in return I will look after the house and our children. I think it will be really fulfilling - watching my Mum it's hard work but even so..
I think traditional relationships have become under-rated - its not that men and women are not equal, but that we have different strengths and weaknesses and compliment each other perfectly as a result.
Its really sad that many people look on being a home-maker as a sort of second best option. And I want to be there for my children too.I think its really selfish to prioritize your career over your children.

Are you for real? How will your brain be challenged doing menial labor all day? You know what they say about brains...use them or lose them...you should rethink

@angelicalee - inst looking after a family way more fulfilling than sitting at some office desk all day?

Depends what you're doing at that office desk. If you're doing something creative and challenging, that's not boring, at all. Raising a family IS important and being there for your kids....just make sure you have something of your OWN, too, so you aren't just living for other people!
