Plain Housewife or a Working Wife

[jam07]

Just want to know the stand of the married couples (and singles) here.

Ladies, do you prefer to be a plain housewife or do you want to have a professional career as well? Guys, do you want your wife to stay at home and take care of the kids (and you :rolleyes:) or do you want her to have a career as well? :) :Erm:

my husband don't mind me to working as long as i balance my time with him, and for me im a hard worker and i don't like staying at home.

[scott&ligaya]

I have not yet met a Filipina who is not a hard worker and who wants to work. I think VB is right, it is about balancing child caring, time together and letting our wives flourish intelectually as they were often held back/could not finish education for financial or other reasons. At the same time even if we are financially able to allow/want our wives to stay home we need to respect their desire for some independence and ability to send funds home if they want or spend on things they just want without " asking hubby". I keep sying to ligaya that she has total access to our accounts with her own cards but she still sometimes says that she wants her own money. I appreciate this independant spirit very much and try to find ways for her to work for home such as running a Swedish catalogue order cosmetics business, maybe applying for childminder training when our 2nd one is a little older or even starting a web support training course where she can work from anywhere.

I stayed at Tacloban City for a couple of years...studied there too before I went to Uni and came back to my parent's house in Manila. Lived at Justice Romualdez. Uy, I'm missing the street ihaw ihaw - sugba by the beach!

[nigel]

My wifey is a working wife...my biggest fear was that she would become a carer...and she did! Dohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!:doh:doh:doh:doh

:)But it's actually turned out good in many ways...she has many filipino friends now...it seems about 70% of the staff at these care homes are filipino's...they even cook themselves filipino dishes for themselves down there sometimes...:xxgrinning--00xx3:

By the way is there any monument to thank the Filipino carers here in Britain...methinks they're should be...:rolleyes:

ooopppsss oo nga...

Moving forward...I am lucky to get a job so quickly when I got into the UK. But my social life does not exist anymore! Compared to a few Filipinas, they get to work with fellow Filipinos, like Nigel's wife.

The two days off each week sometimes does not feel enough to cover everything, ie. sort the pets out, do weekly groceries, and etc.

My husband don't mind whether i work or stay as a full time housewife, the decision is entirely up to me, which ever i prefer more...
For now, i'm a plain housewife and he loves it lol, but i plan to work and get a job eventually or probably sooner....

Yeah it's nice to take care of the house and look after my husband full time,
but i also miss earning on my own and i miss the financial independence i used to have back home.....

So yes, i would love to take on the role of a good wife and a working girl at thesame time,
although i know it's not easy to juggle both, but i guess time management is the key to achieve that, everything in proper balance....

We'll see how it goes once i started working already, lol :D:D

It's hard work Sophie trying to juggle everything at once but I am sure you can do it and you're definitely right about 'time management', it surely is the key.

The world is your oyster. Everything is possible if you put your heart to whatever it is you want to achieve in life. Good luck!

I used to make money since I have finished my course in Pinas.

I want to have my own money and my own financial independence which my hubby approved!

I am very very very shy to ask money to anybody BUT if my hubby is rich and will give me at least 2000£ / month for my shopping money, I will stay at home:icon_lol:

If my husband is rich i would love to stay home and take care of my family.. but since he's not. I would want to find a job after couple of years when our little one is attending to school.

I want to have my own money so i can buy things for them like when it's my hubby's bday or when it's our anniversary, xmas, etc. and so with our kids too. It's hard when there are occassions like this and then you buy gifts for your hubby where the money came from him as well, d bah? :Erm:

Working from home is ideal if you have kids. I have two young kids of my own, and kids grow really fast and somehow I feel that I am missing out something because I am working full time and my job is a bit demanding. I am well paid, but I sometimes ask if it's worth it?

It is true that most stay at home wives are wishing to go to work, and the working ones (like me) wonder how it would be to stay at home. C'est la vie. It is very seldom, (if not at all) that we wish for something we already have. Different people, different circumstances.

[Jay&Zobel]

I am on maternity leave for about three months now. I never thought that I will survive just being at home and be bored as I love working, a lot! It never occured in my mind that I will become a housewife and it will be my job description... But things changed, I am so loving minding our son and being a "wife" to my dear husband.

As with working, every now and then, I pop-in the office and update the accounts. My working time is flexible, I can report as I wish, which is really good!!!

I'd like you to read this as it's quite interesting:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/05/02/mothers.worth/index.html

"The typical mother puts in a 92-hour work week, the company concluded, and works at least 10 jobs. In order of hours spent on them per week, these are:
housekeeper,
day-care center teacher,
cook,
computer operator,
laundry machine operator,
janitor,
facilities manager,
van driver,
chief executive officer and
psychologist.

By figuring out the median salaries for each position, and calculating the average number of hours worked at each, the firm came up with $138,095"...

I'm now working as my husband and I don't have a baby yet,but I'd love to stay at home once I got pregnant. I have to help my husband pay our bills and also have to send money back home. My hubby and I agreed before we got married that if I want to help my family, I really have to work... I have always been independent, and I'd like to stay that way. I like earning and spending my own money. Working just gives u that feeling of independence and security, that no matter what happens in your marriage, you can still stand on your own...

[aposhark]

Ironing, cooking, cleaning the house, etc. that's sweet of you:D

Hi LadyJ,

Nice to see we are appreciated!

The stereotype of a man who cannot do these things or equally the one of the helpless woman who cannot put a shelf up has gone these days in my opinion.
There are some women who are very capable at practical things, and there are some men who can "iron, cook and clean the house".

When my wife sees me wash the dishes sometimes, she says "are you a woman, dear", but she is the first one to tell her Filipina friends that I do a lot of cooking for her.

However, I think it is rather nice to see my wife cook for me, maybe it is something that harkens back to our ancestors and what we perceive.
It seems that the boundaries of male/female roles have blurred over the last 50 years as people live increasingly single lives.

Just want to know the stand of the married couples (and singles) here.

Ladies, do you prefer to be a plain housewife or do you want to have a professional career as well? Guys, do you want your wife to stay at home and take care of the kids (and you :rolleyes:) or do you want her to have a career as well? :) :Erm:

:Erm: I prefer both :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I'm still single & I enjoy the payday and bonuses :) Anyway, it is a matter of setting up priorities and the needs of your family. You win some, you lose some.

When you're not working, you wish that you are working and
when you're working, you keep wishing you're not working:Erm:

As long as we have quality time together I am happy. And also my own big bath. I like a big soak!

I would expect the same as what she would expect of me. It depends what stage you are at in life. On the up buying a house and more property and car or taking care of children, we all struggle to stay afloat. So you can juggle many balls in the air, just might drop 1 occasionally!
