Why the heck them women burned their bras I don't know. The thought of become a housewife sounds more like a luxury to me. There is so much to do, things that need doing and things that you want to do by choice.You can do your tasks when you want, at your own pace. No deadlines or stress and lots of fun things to do along the way. I'm sure my husband and daughter would rather have all the home comforts and a happy wife / mum, rather than the stressed out tired wife / mum I had become.
So why the thought of being asked at the next party 'what do you do for a living?' fills me with dread of saying 'I'm a housewife'. Why does it make me feel any less of myself?
Yes a housewife is hard work, but it is hard work done by choice. I love my family more than money, is that such a failure?
