Should women stay home, cook clean and service their husbands needs?

justagirl

If that's what they want to do, that choice should be respected. I had a mom who worked full-time throughout my entire childhood and I have to admit I would have LOVED my mom to stay home and spend time with me etc. Me and my mom were practically strangers because she was always working then she was either too tired or spending time with my stepfather. Really sad. I think the woman's movement was about the right to have a choice. If a woman wants to stay home with her children, and the husband makes enough money, and everyone is okay with that, then that's fine. If on the other hand she feels the need to have a career instead, that is fine too, as long as the kids are getting their needs met.

If that makes both the wife and the husband happy its fine.

YES!! and a man should be sure to bring home LOTS of money for his woman!!!

If men were capable of supporting their families like they did years ago, then the woman wouldnt have to go out and work. But since men cant hold up their part anymore, woman have had to step up and take care of things, because you know women have to fix everything anyway. The only problem with that is the men havent figured out that they should step up as well and take part in the "Thankless jobs" around the house like raising kids, cleaning house and preparing supper once in a while.

It depends on what the woman wants and if the man is comfortable with it. I stayed home for 5 years after my daughter was born and it was awesome! I loved it!

I think it would be up the individual women.

I personally am not going to do this. No thanks.

nodumgys

Old-fashioned...yes. But, if me n my husband could survive and be confortable on his income alone, then yes I would def stay home. I feel my time is better served raising my children myself (n not a daycare) and taking care of our home. Would I do it alone?? H*ll no...hubby would be helping me once he gets home. It's something he n I both discussed and if we were to ever get to a point that I could stay home, I will. He doesnt care either way...he just wants me to do what makes me happy. Which is one of the big reasons I love him so...he truly cares about my happiness. But, its not for everyone. Its a personal choice that the husband and wife need to make together.

Only if your man is bringing in 100% of the cashflow!

i don't think its as much as to service their husbands needs as it is taking care of the home and being home for their children. someone has to do it and it is a full time job in itself. when both people work full time, things do not get done around the home as much as they need or should be getting done. plus, these days, no one is home to raise their children (since both people usually have to work). they come home to empty houses. (My parents both worked full time and i really didn't know my mother growing up. i considered my baby sitter more of a mother since she raised me and took care of me). why have kids if you're not home to raise them? It's funny that now it is consider a luxury to be a "housewife." Most families can no longer live on one person salary anymore. If i had a had a husband that could afford all the bills on his own and take care of all the finances in exchange to stay home, not work and take care of the house, i would.

it shouldn't be looked down upon if a woman is actually lucky enough to truly have the choice to work or not. who said its better for both parents to work? look how screwed up kids are now and how many marriages are failing compared to couples back then...

Yes! But there are some things a man should do also.

Brianna's Mommy

Regardless of whether or not this is old fashioned, with how expensive things are today, it's not plausible for many families. However, I think that whoever is better at cooking and cleaning should cook and clean, and men should service their wives needs as much as women service their husbands needs.

Lady Freyja

Only if they want to and if it's what is best for the family. Obviously if there are children to be raised it makes more sense for one parent to stay home rather than fork out 1000s of dollars in child care.

Sasha's Mommy

If the household can financially support that decision, then I don't see anything wrong with it. These days it often takes two incomes to run a household so you don't see women being able to stay home as often.

Sophiesmom

I think this a dream that will not come true.

Everyone needs to clean up after themselves, but of course there are some things that a woman can do better.
I am old-school, but hey, I work too.

If they want to do that, more power to them (although I am not too stoked on the phrase "service their husbands needs. That sounds like it involves a serious power imbalance). If it is pushed on them by their partners or society and they don't get to make that decision for themselves, then it is not okay. But believe it or not, there are some enlightened, modern women who choose to be homemakers because it is what they want to do.

your are being way too old fashioned! this is 2009!

Izzy Bob

this is old fashioned. women should do as they please, just like men.

Sherry H

In this time of our lives its very hard not to be a 2 income family. If your husband can afford to support the entire household on 1 salary that's great. If not then its best both work.

With the women's movement for equal rights this would be considered "Old Fashioned".......

Do what feels right & works best for your family, that is what really matters.

In a healthy, mutual, pleasing family setting its not about a "girl doing what she wants", its about what works for both husband, wife and/or children and most importantly SHARING.

If you are looking for a marriage where you can do whatever you want with no worries about anyone else, you are better off remaining single.

Fun Guy

no they should not

I told my wife the day she want to dye her hair pink or purple, not have to wear a top, and can service my every need, she can be a housewife. I don't want the conventional nitwit housewife that is boring, religious and ultraconservative. I want one that has attitude, and could even kick my butt for fun.

YOu mean there are women who don't ?

mamabear1957

Maybe the man should stay home to cook, clean and service their wife's needs! Your thinking is definitely old fashioned.

SUNIL S

Lol i think a woman should be a woman and do some light cleaning and cooking nothing too fancy as long as i get fed i don't mind.
