a plain housewife is a man's pride

Your husband should be proud of you because they are fully supporting you. They can show to the world that they can support their wives. That is the first thing that I can say because men in general are proud. Even if they are supported by their wives, they still claim that they are the king of the household. A jobless husband always makes small things a big deal then quarrel arise. Good if the wife is patient, and she ignores the husband's attitude. If the wife is quarrelsome, then there will be a great fight which may result in separation.

Hi friend, i agree with you, it is really hard to become a house wife and do all the house chores, child caring work as well as taking care about each and every person in the household. Every day home makers doing a lot of work and they don't have any holidays never get any salary for their work. Surely husband must proud about their wife who is hard working home makers

I am not married to my house, the term 'housewife' makes no sense and is not even a word. Also, there is nothing PLAIN or 'only' about being the main adult responsible for the home, everything in it, children, maintenance, etc. I am a WIFE, yes, and I also agree that being a full time caretaker of a home and children IS a full time job. I don't understand how people do not see that, perhaps they only equate a job or working to being compensated or making a paycheck, which is downright STUPID. Anyway, there is nothing plain or 'housewife' about anybody who CHOOSES to take on the career path of being a wife and mother and NOT ALSO working a SECOND job as a paid career.

I agree. Husbands are very lucky if their wives are full-time housewives. They won't worry about their kids and home whenever they are at work. I also want to be a plain housewife. I guess it won't happen to me. I am the one working for the family now. It's not a big deal for me but I also want to experience the feeling of a plain housewife. I enjoy working. My only problem is I only see my husband and our son on weekends. Good for you because you're always with your kids and your husband. Happy mylotting.

I believe that a Man's pride does not lie in the fact whether his wife is a house wife or a working woman. I believe that today's men are more concerned about wives who can balance home and career and at the same time keep herself and others happy. I believe that a career woman have a lot more challenge to face and prove herself, which can easily demand one's husband's pride and honor.But that doesnot mean that a housewife's life is easier one.A house wive have the kind of attachment to the family members and her children which generally a career woman crave for. She too grows with experience along with her children and her family. She is in a constant need to prove herself in every way a house wife should have and that is what make her life manageable too.

I am neither a wife nor a mother and I do not have the right to say this but I will say this anyway, I think the most important thing about being a mother is to watch her children grow, to be with them in every second of their lives and to embrace them every time for them to feel their mother's love and care. My mother is a career woman and not a plain housewife but I so love her because I know that everything she does is all for us so I understand her situation. But I salute full time housewives!

I loved staying home with my kids but I also like when I would work outside the home on occasion. It was almost like a vacation sometimes. I tend to get bored staying home for long periods of time. I am staying home now and have been for two years, two of my kids are married and moved out, one is still here and I like being here for him, but I am starting to get ansy and need to get to work sometime soon so I don't get so bored!

hi colorfullife4all p lain housewife? come on now there's nothing plain about a woman who cleans the h ou se, makes the meals, bears t he children, and cared for them 24/ 7,not plain at all. Number one housekeeper that is what i call them and oh d o I hope that their hubbies all really think they are number one too.So ma ny' people do not really understand what all they do allt he times. we should really honor women who stay home and tends home and children its a hard but worthwhile occupation indeed . my hats off to you all.e

There is no such thing as a plain housewife! The right name for a woman that takes care of her family and household is: Domestic engineer"!!!!!!There is not a more complex job on earth!!!! What is more important than raising well the next generation?

I hope that you are able to reach your goals. I hope that your husband is very proud of you and appreciates all you do. Unfortunately my husband has not come to appreciate all that I do. Hopefully though in time he will see and appreciate what I do for our family. Sometimes people take things for granted and just expect things of others.

i can't say that because as far as I have seen men like women working too. when the wife does good at work then the man feel proud that way too. I used to work but at the moment at home and doing a restaurant now and my hubby wants me to be busy and not just stay at home. I must say i like to be busy in life. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

It sure is, its also hard to run a business and keep a good home. Im lucky that my internet cafe is at the corner of my home. So when business is slow I can run into home and do things there. Sure keeps me busy here.

I am jealous of you. My boyfriend is excellent, but his salery still couldn't support a family.
