Many people just don't realize how much a housewife does these days. She manages the home, which is a full time job! Cooking, cleaning, caring for the children, shopping, etc.
Yes I can imagine! There is so much work involved with a house and having kids.
Now these days, many call a housewife a stay-at-home-mother SAHM, and the stay at home dads are called SAHD. Which wasn't very popular until the last 10 years or so, for dads to stay home.
Yes, it is a new thing with more woman working. It's a lot of work to stay home thought. I think I would get tired of it.
Yes, I guess it depends on each woman. Many feminists believe that it is ignored in the formulations of economic output, like the GDP, and believe it shouldn't be.
Yeah, some people have extreme opinions. I think there is a more even playing field these days.
Yes, it is. The issue of all of the work that a housewife does, but yet doesn't get a check and really depends on the husband for all of the financial dependency, no doubt has been a major problem for many housewifes.
Do you know if they can "tax" their time spent at home? Like in income tax?
I'm not really sure, they should be able to do it though. The British dictionary has a few unique definitions for housewife: the mistress of the house, a female domestic manager, a pocket sewing kit.....the sewing kit threw me lol
Hm.. well I guess I will never know because I do not have a wife at home.
