Re: House wives
Putting the emotional, cultural, chauvanistic and all the other issues aside....
It IS important for little ones to have the feeling that they are a very important part of their PARENTS lives. Typically and traditionally, it has been the female to provide most of this part and the make to provide the income to make it all happen. Blessed is the woman to have that option esp in this day and age!
Its a tough, tough job and one that I've felt not quite up to occasionally. I had a tough job in wall street technology but that was NADA compared to parenting lol!
Just keep in mind to find yourself a partner who is at least somewhat in agreement on what you both want for your children....that will make all the difference in the world. I've seen successful households where both parents have careers AND successful "traditional" households where one parent stays home. Also, I've seen "bad" households in both situations. Success or failure depends upon whether the PARENTS are in agreement and work together as a team or not.
