Would you like to be a plain housewife or a career woman?

I would definitely love to be a career woman as i am an enterprising person...I just cant sit at home all day cooking, cleaning, etc. I need to have a job. earn good money and buy things that ive always longed for...Hence, sitting at home is not a good option for me..

I'm a stay at home mom, I don't like the term "plain housewife", that sounds like we are boring! I feel very fulfilled that I get to stay at home and see everything that my son does. I am also grateful that my husband makes enough money so I can do that.

I would rather be a housewife. I always have wanted to just be a housewife. I don't have a career and really don't want one. I am happy just being a hostess at a restaurant right now. I don't have any kids or anything, but if I did and had the choice I would definitely be a stay at home mom working from home.

i think nowadays few and few women would like to be a plain housewife at home.we need something else to stuff and colour our lives.career is definintely one of them.it sounds a good idea to do both freelance work and take care of family.i'd love to be a freelance writer or take up a less time-consuming job after marriage:)

I am career driven woman,i am an lecturerilove teaching and made it my profession,to fulfill the daily requirements earning is essential.I realy like my wifes profession because it is of limited hours,and she isable to look after me and my kids.She helps in my earnings to fulfill our dreams.

I was a career driven person and thought I always would be. My mom was a stay at home mom and was never passionate about anything so she tried to instill that in both my sister and I. All of this changed however with the arrival of my 5 week old daughter. Now I want nothing more than to stay at home with her. Before I was working 50+ hours per week and I couldn't imagine going back to that. I don't want to pay someone else to raise my daughter and I don't want to miss out on all those milestones. So, we're planning on me staying home with the baby and hopefully babies as long as financially possible.

my boyfriend and i talked about this months ago. i always say i wanna have my own career and he is okey with the idea. i wanna help out my mom and siblings back here in the philippines and support them to the fullest i can. and he understands. i am just lucky to have an understanding boyfriend.

I love the term given by responder babyboy. It so describes what a woman that has chosen as her career is. She is a domestic diva. It is a career as any domestic diva will tell you. She employees skill that are also needed in many other career choices. Her job description has so many components that they are hard to describe. She is a nurse, a chef, an accountant, a banker, a teacher, and the list can go on foe a very long time. It must be very discouraging to be called a plain housewife especially a plain one. It almost implies ugly which is soo not true. I first chose to be a domestic diva when my children were little but when my youngest entered school I had to go out side the home to make a living as I became a single mom at the time. But I preferred a career of the domestic dive.

I would rather be a plain housewife. And start a business of my own to occupy my free time. Will also have the luxury to see my baby girl grow up :)

I am neither. I have the choice to take work assignments if I want to. The choice to stay home is also there. Any money I make is mine to keep. My husband is very supportive. Thus, I am a both. However, I would never call myself "plain" housewife. There is absolutely nothing plain about me. I am driven in all that I do.

I personally would love to be a stay at home mom but that is not possible for we need the money to support our family and to continue living. I would love to be able to stay at home and be able to take my children to whatever I wanted and to spend the day with them taking them to school, picking them up, dance classes, swim classes. You know that kind of fun stuff. And then I would always have the house clean throughout the day and my husband would just have to worry about working and coming home and spending time with us.

I always wanted to be a Career woman and the best part is that I am all supported from my hubby. I think this is the most impostant part of our life that we can be best at our careers balancing with our homes, if we are supported from our partners.....so I really thanks to GOD for gifting with his best blessing.....

I would hope that u dun mean plain as in boring. I was a successful careeer woman w my own business b4 I became a mom and let me tell u, it's harder than being a career woman. I had more time for myself b4 I became a full time mom, but I wouldn't give up what I do now for a career. My child will be grown and out teh door before I know what's hit me and he deserves the best I can give him. My career can wait. My husband and I discussed what we would do b4 we had kids and we decided that I'd stay home. Its not easy esp since we struggly financially, but I would rather that and my child have his mom than have someone else raise him w their values and beliefs and he runs to them for comfort instead of me.

I am a career woman and a parent at the same time. I can't be a plain housewife because I have to support my daughter. Besides, what did I need to study college for? I feel that when you're a plain housewife, life stops at home. You can't view the world more outside your home. I feel that you will be left out with many new things.

if i could have a home based job, that is better than working 8 hours a day away from home. atleast, i can earn and be with my children, too. but if i can't have an home based job, i wanna atleast have a career to atleast be of help to my husband, too financially.
