The most charming lady i ever met was a 20 year old stay at home mom
would wake up early, happily make the chai, wake people up, always smiling and happy, would keep check of the entire house, and everytime u had something missing she would know it, she would be happily working all day, and thats what she was praised for uncountable times, and she was more than content in that role
she would go to bed early, and sleep like a child
she would be so content with doing her duties that she didnt have the slightest intrest in things such as television and therefore when u sat down with her, she would have the kind of wisdom that comes from within a pure person yet i dont know if i have mentioned that her physical appearance both in body and face was very above average, yet she didnt have any conceit at all, and i never saw her look in the mirror really! >D
many a times i thought to my self, im not a marriage type, not at all, but if she hadnt been married, she would have been mine
but im glad she is, because i like to stay free >D
but really my point is, that the stay at home mom has been downplayed like hell in television and everyone wants to go out and be independant ladies, stressing themself out, having offspring that turn to beasts because they lack discipline and proper roles
and again like some others have said im not saying that women cant work, id just say, that id prefer a stay at home mom, if i were ever to get married
my mother was a stay at home mom, and im happy she was, and so is she
