I can't be bursting my ass out in Uni right now. . .to end up as a housewife. . .just one thing that ain't gonna happen. . .and any man I marry would have to understand and accept this or move on!

Someone in this thread said that stay at home moms/housewives have way more children than women who work do. I've noticed that too. I'm starting to wonder if they do that to avoid going back to work.

It's probably because it's easier. Having carried my last pregnancy (morning sickness and all) in the middle of an intense SAP implementation, I have determined not to do it again unless I have a less tasking job, or I am working from home.

What if you find yourself in this position: Yourself and your husband have good jobs, you have two kids and being a full-time housewife has never been a consideration. Then your husband gets transfered to a country where you cannot work. His pay is good (like 4 times yours) and the company will be responsible for the kids' education. Would you stay back with the kids so you can keep your job or go with your husband?

@ SeanT21: There are some countries where you may not be able to work. What if he's transfered to a place like Saudi Arabia? What I'm driving at is that we should never say "never". Some situations don't allow things to go our way. It's just important you have the proper mind set and make the best of every situation. It doesn't make you less of a woman.

There are other ways of making urself valuable rather than a paid employment. Does anyone have ideas on how u can make sense of your time and of yourself if you happen to be in this kind of situation?

@amebo you've said it all  - time & experience is the best teacher. An unhappy family is one of the worst tragedies that can befall a man/woman

As Yoruba's say; emi ise gun ju emi ayon lo.

Interesting,i used 2 be like a lot of the single girls here,but after getting married n having kids all d degrees n qualifications could not sway me from staying home n taking care of my children, especially at this stage where their behaviours, attitudes n mental being is formed,there is no way i am putting them in any strangers hand, and wats the use of working in dis crazy place n all d money going 2 child care for 3 kids[believe me i tried n i didnt work]At least i have d degrees n qualification n some experience to dust off n work wen my children r at a good place,for now im a happy housewife.2 the single ladies never say never.

Some of the dimwitted feminists posting here seem to be implying that a stay-at-home mom has lower feminine value/quality than one who goes out into the corporate world of work. If I was a housewife I would be very offended.
