I Am Traditional When It Comes To Gender Roles

We run a traditional household here. Many won't agree but that's how we like to live and how things work for us.

It's more or less worked since humans began so it would work.

Wouldn't work for me. Works for you. That's the great thing about the modern world. We have a choice. You're exercising yours, I'm exercising mine. As long as no one gets hurt within reason (we all hurt sometimes) or breaks any laws who cares.

if it works for you, who cares what anyone else thinks?

I agree. Glad you found something that works.

There is no right or wrong way to run a household .. .. the key is finding what works for your family and sticking with it as long as it does .. .. Just don't be afraid to change or adapt if it becomes necessary or in the best interest of everyone . ..

@Kathryn05: perhaps in a singular event where nothing is different this could be possible .. .. but once you involve unoque individuals with millions of ever changing details a single best way for all is not just unlikely but a true impossiblity .. ..

@Pop0159: Perhaps but I truly believe there is always a best solution

@Kathryn05: and I think I actually agree with that statement .. .. I just beleive every situtatuon or event is unique and the best solution of one similar situation may not be the best for the next .. .. ..

That's how you like to live, and other people like to run their lives differently. It's fine either way :)
@melovemycats: Yes, we live in a society that values this type of option --but it is BETTER objectively to have traditional gender roles --it is consistent with natural order -- and only through the natural order is there any hope of being free and truly happy.
This is heartening --and it confirms something I have informally suspected -- more younger couples are adopting traditional gender roles: https://similarworlds.com/1146599-I-Respect-Mothers-That-Stay-Home-And-Raise-Their-K/751330-The-Council-on-Contemporary-Families-at-the

As long as it is your free choice there is no bad in that :)
@Lauren: Free choice is something our society puts a lot of stock in, but more important is BEST choice. "Free choice" is based on the idea of relativism --that there are no absolute values or truths or natural order or natural morality. I believe that traditional households are the BEST choice --they are consistent with the natural order -- they are what will most promote happiness at the individual, family and societal levels.

@beckychandler: YOu are right. I just wanted to say that it shouldn't be forced how you wonna live when you are married. That cou hve the choice to decide what the best truely is.
