Plain Housewife or a Working Wife

[mickcant]

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 ) or do you want her to have a career as well?

Hello,
With my wife and I, we are still waiting for her settlement visa but if possible she wants to work to give her the independance to be able to send money home without asking me.
As I have just retired I will happly become the "House Husband".
Mick.

Lucky you...you have all the time in the world to enjoy the UK. That would be fantastic too if you have friends around who are also not working so you can do some chika chika anytime.

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

I don't know anymore

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.
