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 in the 50's it worked because that was the expectation of society and of married couples. There were no other choices. Now the world is expensive. One has to be independent. Self supporting. I know only one couple that this works for currently. They are in their mid-thirties. And she works from home after their 3 kids are sleeping. They work hard at their marriage and their parents do at theirs too. Solid values. Solid marriage.
