    I would definatly want to stay at home. I believe women have a very high calling as a mother and wife, and it can not be properly filled when you are "provider for the home" instead of "maker of the home". I believe men are called to be faithful providers and women to be fullfilling helpmeets. I think it's sad the way people look "down' on homemaking as something you do if "you didn't make it to college" type of thing. I want a husband who can truly appreciate that in me, and who has the same values on the matter

    If given a choice I would choose to work. Just because I work doesn't mean that I can't be a good supportive wife. I am married and have children, my husband and I also work together. I am very supportive of his work, as I knew what I was getting into when I married him. And He feels that way also, especially since I really understand his work.

    I would choose to work than stay home. I've been working since I was a kid I am not sure if I can stand being at home cooking, cleaning, taking care of children. In my opninion woman who stay home usually have to listen to their husband since their husband are the one brings home the bread. I have friens who are house wives and are so unhappy. Every little decision they make they have to confirmed with their husband. I guess a stay home wife isn't a decision maker on anything.

    i love being a SAHM! i'm elevating the subsequent era, and no different job can say that. i truly purely won't be able to see putting my baby in day care or with a sitter and not in any respect me. i have no longer something adversarial to it and that i respect all moms for although they opt for. I celebrate with being abode because i don't think of anybody else will be as excited at the same time as our baby rolls over for the first time, or says mama for the first time and all of those perfect moments you won't be able to in any respect get decrease back. when I first stopped operating (in different words, the day I gave beginning!), it change right into a touch puzzling because I felt like I wasn't contributing to our significant different and little ones yet I slooooowly realized that what i'm doing is so much better significant and that is in a realm the position funds doesn't count number. shall we would want to be close to to starving and broke earlier I end being a SAHM. we do not make a large style of money, yet i'm nonetheless able to stay abode. I wish all moms might want to do an same yet easily everyone's project is diverse and they could't be judged for that. those are purely my thoughts, i'm hoping I helped. I loved this question, it has jogged my memory that the lengthy days and nights are completely properly worth it. thanks!

    If I live with my husband only then I would choose to stay at home and be good supportive wife. But If living with the inlaw then I would rather work and still can be good supportive wife.

    It's important for each person to contribute to the household. That doesn't necessarily mean that you need to go out and work, but i think you should be able and willing to if need be. I myself stay home so that someone will always be here with our children, but i am still finishing school, so that i can contribute financially to the household after the kids are in school. For now it is fine for only my husband to support us financially as long as I am raising the kids and taking care of the house. It really depends on what needs to be done, and the dynamics of your relationship.

    You're assumption that "staying at home is good and supportive wife' is a chauvinist remark, which isn't my bag. Each wife should remain in a position of equality and independence, despite her choices in life. A good wife can be supportive, while she also works. A bad wife can stay at home and fail to support her partner. I'm concerned over your preconcived notions of traditions and marriage. In todays world, it's worth a thought.

    I would have loved to be a stay at home wife and mother.

    It did not work out that way.
