Who thinks that being a homemaker is a perfectly valid occupation?

I'm pretty sure I want to follow my mum and be a fulltime home-maker.
i 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.

It’s a valid occupation for mothers or fathers, if that is the couple’s choice.

No one outside that marriage has the right to judge.

Likewise, no one outside a marriage where both partners choose to have careers (as my parents did, successfully) has the right to judge that, either.

Btw, my parents were happily married for 66 years.
And they raised two teachers, a nurse and a policeman.
