I know its usually looked down upon in society, but i love the "housewife" lifestyle!
I love that everything is taken care of for me, in exchange for keeping the hosehold nice and clean 🙂
Its the way ive been raised and i wouldnt want to have it any other way, is anyone in the same boat as me? haha
I like this attitude and I think its advantage and valuable trait.
Abstracting from the fact that is harder today to keep family with one salary, than it was yet dozen or more years ago. Except someone's got really good payed job or another solution to earning more money.
it is nice and I used to pretend play that I’m a housewife when I was little. but as @Tina said above, you’d have to be dependent on someone for almost everything. I’d rather like to be an independent woman and I have career dreams to achieve.
I’m not against people being a housewife but it depends on a person and it is a matter of choice, really (:
Maybe, but i feel like many women really do want to be independent. And thats all good, im all for it and support them! I just wish my position wasnt looked down upon so much. I really love it, my dad does work a lot but were well off and i never felt like im missing anything. My life feels very fulfiling and i wouldnt trade it for anything else!
Most people want to live a traditional life, but are afraid of how society will view it.I don't believe that for one second. Maybe men do, because their the one profiting from it in most cases. But most of the women, at least in the bubble I'm in, don't.

If you want to be a housewife and have your partner bring the money home: go live that life and enjoy it.
If a man wants to stay at home and let his partner bring the money, that's great too.
If all parties want to work and keep their finances seperate, that's fine.
As long as all parties are happy with everything it's great and nobody should judge them. Unless obviously someone was manipulated to feel this way, or any other weird stuff was involved.
I think it's really important to recognize that your idea of a perfect life doesn't work for most people, and not try to force it on them.
About you specifically however: I think you should be really careful. I'm sure your dad is amazing and the chances of him leaving you are obviously really low because he's your dad, but if you ever have a significant other that might not be the case. If you decide to dedicate 100% of your life to them, you are actually left with nothing if one of you decides to leave. You should make sure you have the education and ability to get a job, in case things break apart.
I've read a few horror stories online where one partner turned out really toxic but the other couldn't really leave because they had no money and nowhere to go.
Please make sure you're safe. <3
@Chaos so true
Im definitely not forcing my way of life onto anyone, just wondering if i can find some likeminded people 😃
For now im not really interested in pursuing anyone romantically so that should be fine for a while too xD
And dont worry, i am working to get the best education that i can!
I personally think it would be awesome if couples could share responsibilities if they agree to. But that’s up to them. Although in my future I would like democracy😁
But than you would be dependend on someone. And in case of a cricis you'd be left with no job and insurence.I don't think so nowadays. At least in western countries, women can get some backup in case of divorce or widowing. Also dependence in this case goes both ways, for the person leaving for work rely on the partner for all domestic tasks, which also is a job (and sometimes argued to be considered as such).
I don't believe that for one second. Maybe men do, because their the one profiting from it in most cases. But most of the women, at least in the bubble I'm in, don't.Maybe women don't see the advantages either because the society push themt o believe that work is freedom. However, it would be interesting to see the stress level and the feeling of being fulfilled in both categories to see if a woman at work truly is loosing/winning much compared to the housewife.
The problem though is, like I said, that being a housewife is not considered as a work at all, and that one salary is not enough to support a family oin most of cases. Thus, that "traditionnal" lifestyle is difficult to reach today. It's a little bit sad because it might fix the natality problem of european countries.

If it depends on individuals, it doesn't mean that you can't draw a tendency still. For your opinion, you obviously are free to lead your life the way you want and I'd even encourage you to do so, but I feel to say that it's not rare that opinions change over time, especially on this aspect of life. On my part, I'd prefer to spend time with kids and cook or growing some vegetables than a lot of jobs, especially if with someone who doesn't want to raise the children.Maybe women don't see the advantages either because the society push themt o believe that work is freedom.
