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 do! The problem that too often arises is that in the case of divorce or death, a woman (or a man) can find herself or himself not only without money but also without employment history. That can be a rough row to hoe.

@Mamapolo2016 my mum's in this boat and ain't fun...I feel for her and this is valid too.
