what do you think is better for women.Being a homemaker or a working woman.i had been working since last 3 years.Then I took a break.Now i am staying idle at home soing the usual stuff..cooking,cleaning etc.I was apprehensive about sitting at home.I had thought I would really enjoy the experience.I have so much time for myself now.No office tensions,no workload.I can simply sit back and enjoy myself.Yet there are times when i miss my office life so much.I had a sense of achievement at that time.Working,attending meetings and then partying.I feel taht something is lacking in my life now.Has it ever happened to you too? Share your views..what do you prefer? Being a homemaker or working.

It is up to the individual woman. What is best for one person is not going to be best for someone else. Some women (and men) may be happier being a homemaker, others would not be happy at all being a homemaker.

I'm a stay at home mom/homemaker so it's a little different. I don't have time to myself at all. I think it's best for me personally to be a stay at home mom while my kids are little but I do miss working. I will work again when they are a little older. I feel a little taken advantage of staying at home like my husband and my friend don't think I do anything. I am so busy I don't know where the time goes every day.

I understand that if you have kids,time just flies by.It is a good decision to take a break from work when the kids need your full attention.When they grow up,you can resume working.

I started working when I was 20 and have worked fairly steady since.I have took some time off when I had to due to having my kids and/or health problems..It's great for a while,say a couple of months.Then I start running out of things to do and get bored.Even with the internet and cable tv I got bored out my skull on my last period off.I just can't do it.Even if it's just a part time job for a few hours a week,I NEED to be out doing something.My hat's off to the ladies that can stay home and be full time housewives and mothers,I salute you.

I am a stay at home mom because I didn't have kids just so strangers can raise them at day cares. But don't get me wrong, I understand that some women have no choice and have to work in order to support the family. I feel that if you are able to financially stay home and you have kids, then you need to stay home with them. I love my life and I keep busy gardening to keep me happy when I am not busy with the boys. If you still have a need to work even when you have kids and have enough money, then you shouldn't have had the kids in the first place. I feel there is nothing wrong with women who choose a career and don't have kids. That is better thatn to take your kids to daycare where they can be neglected or abused.

i completely agree with you.i don't have kids now.But I plan to take good care of them whenever i have them and not just leave them at day care centers.I would like to be a fill time mom reather than juggling between home and work atleast for some years.

Ok, that was just a pause for dramatic effect. he he he
Well, if it isn't sexism why might I think it better for women to be homemakers. Simply because I think the modern manner of working is responsible for a great many problems in the world. When Adam delved and Eve span, who the master and who then was the gentleman.
When work is part of the process of living, rooted in your daily life, people are different from wage slaves. Hard to explain exactly but they see things in perspective, not just some small details of the picture but more of the whole plan.
