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.

I think if you can live on one income alone, there is absolutely nothing wrong with heing a homemaker. The high cost of living is what drove women from running the home and taking care of the kids ala 1950s Americana to the workforce. In most cases it wasn't the desire of women to do the same jobs as men for less compensation and less recognition. @KimberleyAnne if being a homemaker is your dream, by all means follow it!
