Re: young women yearn for 1950s role as stay-at-home mums
First you say that you don’t want your wife to work and then you call those women who stay at home uneducated morons spoiling their brats?That’s great yo :k:
My mother’s lived here for 21 years, never held a job or got any post-metric education, here or in Pak. Despite that, she speaks enough English. My father worked hard but that didn’t mean my mother was lazy and stupid and give me or my brother “unnecessary freedom”. I don’t roam about the streets for no reason, my brother doesn’t chill with loser friends in front of Kabab King. My mother may nto be a doctor or scientist or that educated, but she’s, and my father, have done the best job under the circumstances.
Getting back on topic: what would I choose:
I am a college student right now, and I don’t work. However, when I do finish college and getmy degree, i awnt to get a decent job so i feel like I am contributing something, to my family, to myself, to gain the feeling of independence and self-sufficiency, even if I never plan on completely living alone and independently. When i get married, I’ll talk it over with my husband, and do what we feel is best at the time. And when i have kids (inshallah) I do not want to work, at least while they’re very young…
