HisChildForever Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 [quote name='FuturePriest387' timestamp='1353128963' post='2511660'] I want my wife to have the ability to be a housewife if she wants. If she does not want to be one then that is fine, but she should not feel obligated to work. [/quote] There is a third possibility. She might WANT to work.

Lilllabettt Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 15-20 years ago (in the 80s/90s) teaching was very different. Like I said most teachers I speak to think things will eventually change again ... the question is whether to stick it out until that happens ...

I said I wanted her to be able to stay at home if she wanted, but if she did not want to I would want her to work because it was her choice to, not because she had to. Of course I want a wife that is willing to work if she has to, but ideally it would be because she wants to.

Lots of excellent dance and song numbers will ensue, along with a healthy dose of romantic drama.
