Are there any women left who like an old fashion marriage where the man wins the bread and the woman makes the home? I'm not talking forced. I'm talking man's desire to work hard and the woman's desire to be mom/wife full time.

Heck yes, I'd go for that but in todays world it takes two to make it. My husband makes good money but we don't want to just get by. We want to excel and have a nice life. Also if only he was working how would we retire in this economy?

I like it, but the economy is making it harder and harder to get by on one income.

Im a stay at home mom, and it works well for us...I admire moms who can work and manage the Kids, the house, the cooking and cleaning, and still have time for their hubbies, and friends! But for me, home is where I want to be, and Im blessed I can be.

I think *many* women would love to stay at home and be a full-time wife and mother. Economics is the main reason more women can't

Yeah, I'll take that--as long as it's PA-lenty of bread....

Me and my husband are like that. I stay home with the children and clean the house, he works all day and comes home to a nice warm supper and family. It is a job whether you work or not. You take care of alot and a whole lot cheaper than daycare, and their expenses. Also with daycare, you as a woman are gonna miss alot, anyways cause children get all kinds illnesses, at daycare also. Being a stay at home mom, by my choice has it's rewards, but it does have it's setbacks also. I love it. Personally it is life.

It's funny you should bring this up, because, you know, after being one of those "highly educated" women with the goal of becoming professional, I feel that I can put my professional career on hold for a while to raise my children - at the very least in the early stages of their life. I think it's sad when children and parents don't see enough of each other because the parents are working too much. So yes, I intend to be the "housewife" for at least a few years, but I still have every intention of becoming professional afterward.

I actually do like that idea. Whether I'm going to follow it or not may be a completely different story.
-
Absolutely! I already take care of the home, kids and pay bills. I would love to take the last one off the list.:)

I'm sure there are. That's the kind of relationship my husband and I chose. We were even both virgins on our wedding night. I wanted to work at home and take care of the home, besides we have a horse ranch to attend to as well, and he went to work. But we both do things at home. We both cook and clean, we each do whatever needs doing and whoever is up for it. But we also didn't have children and just loved spending time together as well. We found great joy in being a family of 2

At this point in my life, I'd love to stay home and be a full time homemaker. I entered college at 27 with three children. In my heart of hearts, I would have rather had stayed home. The reasons that I did not are varied. It turned out that I made the right decision because through the years, at times I've been the sole bread winner. Not only that, I contributed to my children's education and they were privileged to have things that that might not have had otherwise.

There are women out there who would like a "traditional" set up like that. However it seems in this economy, it just isn't easy to do. I was a stay at home mom/wife for 10 years. Loved it, but things changed. Got a divorce, started to work. Now I am remarried and I like working outside the home. It makes me feel like I have some control over our finacial well being. However, if my husband made bank, I think I might like to be home.
