Housewives Are Lazy

stay-at-home wives are lazy as ****. what do they do all day anyway? what exactly is the job of a 'homemaker'? is homemaker really a fancy word for sitting on your ass all day watching soaps? if my wife ever suggested being a homemaker i'd tell her she needs to get a damn job. its 2012 man, screw being the breadwinner, we're going 50/50 on this

It's still the norm everywhere I think. Except in North America I think women have more freedom of knowing and deciding what they want to do. I mean I don't think a man can deny a woman the desicion of being a housewife or working a full time job and sending the kids to daycare.

Sure I could. I have just a much a say in how my child gets raised as my wife. It just so happened that we both agreed that we wanted him to be raised at home.

Why don't you ask my mom who raised 7 kids (5 boys, and 1 girl), and now her grandchild? My mom is a house wife, but she does more than just cook and clean the house. Sometimes she is use to help my dad run his business and other times help my local church. She's no "Real golddigging bimbo Housewives of whateverstate" mom.

In b4 black chamber sits at home on his ass on the internet while his mom cleans the house. There are lazy housewives. There are housewives who use being at home alone all day to have affairs. But there are also housewives who spend a lot of time cleaning, cooking, doing things with the children, helping with their homework, doing odd jobs around the house, doing the shopping, managing everything. Maintaining a household is a lot of work and can become a full-time job. Usually both people work so they split the housework, but sometimes it's beneficial for one person to stay home and just do all of that, so the other can just work and come home and everything is calm.XilePrincess

i take it you're a housewife?

I think it's still pretty much the norm, only now you have men sometimes taking the role. Either way, I would rather my boy be taken care of by my wife, not daycare.

This! It actually cost more because now you have to pay them to watch your kid.

No, I'm not. I'm not even married nor living with my boyfriend at this point. But at some point, I'd like to be, if financially possible, because I feel that having a parent around when children are young is extremely helpful to their development.

I don't want to be a housewife because I don't want to work. I want to be a housewife (for a period of time) so that I can raise my children instead of sending them off to daycare to have somebody else raise them (I went to an abusive daycare as a child, and my parents thought I was exaggerating when I complained. I never want to put my child through that hell) and help them with their homework.

I also want to put a nutritious meal on the table for my family for each meal. No McDonalds runs every night between extracurriculars and school. And when my husband comes home from work, I don't want him to have to mow the lawn or clean the gutters or help with laundry or dinner. I want to have everything done, so he can sit down for his evening meal, and then go sit and watch TV or sports with a snack platter and beverage in hand.

That sounds better to me than having both people work out of the home, and have a bad family connection, exhausted heads of household, and too much crap to do. If my husband makes enough money that I don't need to work, then I won't be. I'll stay home, do all the housework and chores I physically can do (and I was raised redneck, so I can do pretty much everything, even as a 5'2 girl who isn't all that strong) and then when my husband comes home, I will wait on him like a king. Sounds like a pretty good life for both of us to me, and both of us will be doing work, we just will both have done that work and not come home to MORE work to do on top of it.

Working 8 hours a day in the home is no different than working 8 hours out, except you don't have to wear pants if you don't want to. Work is work, you just don't get paid for working in the home, but if you don't have to work to make ends meet, that's a nonissue. That's kind of like calling unpaid volunteers lazy for working without payment.

There is plenty to do around a home, and as long as the housewife in question does those things, there is no way she is lazy.

In the highly unlikely case that I have a wife that doesn't want a paying job I would be completely ok with having her take care of all of the crap with the house and kids and me not having to worry about it nearly as much.

My boyfriend and I have to work at least 40 hours a week, do our groceries, do our cooking and do our cleaning.
We don't have someone at home who can take care of that...... and it's easy!

shopping, cooking and cleaning is not a fulltime job.
Even parenting is not a fulltime job once your kids go to school.

Unless we had kids, she's getting her ass a job

Clearly you aren't married, otherwise you wouldn't be b*tching.

Im just posting this so I can have it for later. Cant save it because I am on a library computer.Ugalde-

No they are not, while they are at school you have time to do other things.

My parents both worked when my brother and I went to school.

Really depends on if they have kids or not. If there's no kids, it's not a hard job at all. Nobody has to clean the entire house every day. Most of housework only needs to be done once a week; vacuuming, laundry, any dusting, cleaning the stove top, grocery shopping, etc. Much tv and shopping time if you ask me with no kids involved.

Now with kids, it's a different story depending on the number and ages.

Kids take alot of work.

Without them, yeah, there'd be some lazyness.

I'm thinking this is a troll thread. Either that, or the TC has never owned a home and doesn't have kids.

have you been watching those Housewives reality tv shows?
