Show all answers

If money isn't an issue and no young anok to be considered I think the final decision should be made by the wife. I mean it is her life and it should be upto her on which path she decides to go.
What is your opinion, please.

Binibini

money or not.

I'm not going to have kids.

*but since this is a rhetorical question

assuming money is not an issue I'll have to be a stay at home mom for at least 2 years before i go back to work. And like you i will need a maid and a nanny.

nena aka NENA

nena will stay at home period. but i will operate a business from my home so i will have my own money, on top of the allowance that i expect from my husband dear. nena will have 2 kids - both boys - and they will named peter and paul. yeah, i got it all figured out. now, all i have to do is wait for my prince charming.

If money is not an issue, then I'd prefer to be a domestic diva. It'll be hard for me if I'll be too busy with my career while my children are at home without a mom to take care of them and guide them. I really want my family to come first. Sounds cliche doesn't it? lol.

I thank you. World peace! ;D

I've always wanted to have a career. It sucks sometimes being in the rat race but I know I won't be happy being a domestic diva. That's just not for me.

I know some women would rather stay at home and that's great. However, I strongly believe that this option should not be imposed on women. A woman's place is wherever she chooses to be.

if i don't have a baby then i would be in a rat race... coz thats me...

but then its really case to case basis...

but still, i don't want to be just a Domestic Diva,,, its more of a responsible wife and mother who can provide them their basic and materialistic needs...

but of course, whatever my SO say, we will decide on that... so lets just say... nothing for now...

jan-na~â™¥~ and im luvin it

i would want to be a hands-on mom but i still want to have a career. i dont want to depend entirely on my husband. i dont want to ask money from him whenever i need to shop.

when my kids were young, i did not allow my wife to work and leave the children to the yaya. not until the youngest entered the grade school. she's working now and happy. my kids, i'm so proud of them!

carlota_2312

I would like to work but of course my family would be my main priority. I am not good in being stuck all day in the house. It will drive me crazy. I hope to find work that gives me flexible schedule like what i have now. :o)

I'd be a full time wife, but when my children gets older, I'd definitely work again. probably be my husband's secretary, so I'd have an eye on him even if he's at work! not that i trust him, but it's the most probable job i'd get without passing an interview and even if I'm already in my 40's!

I'd choose work. Honestly, it feels too "old fashioned" to be a stay-at-home mom who watches the soaps and cooks meals all day. Careers excercise your brain and if money is not an issue, that means, if you don't like your career: move on! Jobs allow you to be productive, focused, educated, ... and moreover, paid. Yes, my kids are important, but in addition to their needs, I need to pay attention to mine. Its a balance, I don't think its either-or.

Oh, I would rather stay at home and attend to my garden, and other hobbies. Also, trying to invent other recipes for fish and veggies.

twisted_lil_sis

i would rather be a stay at home mom. i believe that a mother should stay at home with her children until they start school.

NONAME

if i can have it my way, i would want somebody who's half & half. maybe somebody with her own business or is helping me run ours & still able to be a homemaker.

but my wife is not someone i own nor my property or my robot. & whatever makes her happy is what i would want.

i do not wish for her to be a rat in any rat race.

Sexy No More

This question might apply to myself sooner or later...

I prefer to be in a rat race while no kids but will be a domestic diva once we have the baby.

My fiancee wants me to work even when we get married as he thinks that it's better to keep me in style and for my brain to work. Although sometimes he tells me he wants me to stay at home and cook for him... lols!

siopaO

domestic diva, at least im a diva.

papars

Career woman....preferably.

In the event of my death or disability or any other unexpected emergency, the wife would be able to provide for the family rather than rely upon dole or charity. It will help her live with respect, should circumstances so demand.

SHEMH

It's hard to pick but thinking of kids, though we don't have kids yet, I would rather stay home and raise them with all my best. I think my future children deserve it.

nikkiwahine

out in the rat race! id be too bored at home

battgirl

As I have always told my husband, I am not domesticated and never will be. I am an utter failure at that.

Money is NOT an issue, i just feel really bored, dumb, depressed staying at home. I am more productive competing in the workplace than finding ways to keep me busy at home.

I had my share of being a bum, staying at home for 2 months. One month was spent in partying and doing stuff I haven't done. Then i got bored. It's not for me.

Felicity???

If with cute li'l kids then I prefer to manage our family business and take good care of my kids and my hubby. God willing. <*-*>

Ã´,Ã´

actually at my age, this would be an advance hope for decision..as of now, it is so hard to tell-- too many pros and cons kaseh...sorry ate.. ' ',)

ScarletRaven

I would seriously prefer to be a domestic diva. It would be great to be able to raise my would-be kids all on my own. I don't think I could bear to let a "yaya" take care of my kids all day. A mother's care would still be best. :)

Divina

I'd be a domestic diva. To be the " ilaw ng tahanan. " To devote my time to all the needs of my husband and children and raise a well-rounded family.

tzartzar

i would prefer a stay home wife. i want her to to be with my kids while they growing up. but if she wants to have a career of her own, i will support her..

Black Hat

I choose stay-at-home wife, to love my kids and myself.

Jan-na you sound like my wife. LOL

Adam

Honestly, I believe my wife should do whatever makes her happy.

If she wants to work, great. If she wants to stay at home, great too. I will always be a supportive husband no matter what.

tranquil

Have my own career. Mother had one and until now, she is mentally sharp.

Tiffany B

don't know

Adi

I prefer a wife that have a career, so she can help me with the bills, times are hard. And it will be good for her, Cos shed gain confidence and prove something to herself. It (job) will help her realize her purpose and what she really want to do.

Well

I prefer someone who works. It doesn't matter what she does and how much she makes, but she has to enjoy it. The reason being that unemployed housewives, especially those married to wealthy guys, tend to eventually become spoiled to the point of worthlessness after a few decades. Stay at home moms with "alalays" to take care of their kids and the home are the worst because they are obligated to do few things of value to the family. Working keeps her in touch with reality and the real world.

I think if you want to stay at home, the primary reason should be to raise your kids which is a full time job in itself. However, I would suspect your core intentions to stay home if you then decide to hire a nanny or a housekeeper to do the work. That would be missing the whole point.
