Isn't being a housewife supposed to be as much if not more work than a 9-5? 🤔

likefunny

Yes but it’s different. Don’t get me wrong I like my job and the people I work with but I’d much rather take care of a household and my partner at home. My mom was a housewife so I know all the work that it takes to keep a house running but when you find joy in it it’s not bad. (Not saying you won’t have your bad days)

If you have kids that aren’t in school then it will be just as difficult, just different, and that’s coming from a male.

With no kids then yeah I don’t buy the “there’s plenty to do around the house!” jazz. It’s not true and you know it. You can only do so much laundry and cleaning before it’s unnecessary. And don’t say “cooking” because everyone does that.

correction, if you have kids that aren’t in school it will be much, much more difficult.

No thanks I actually want to raise my kids. I’ll have help around the house but I’m not letting someone else raise my child and whoever I marry will be able to afford us that lifestyle. Being a stay at home wife != not bringing in income. You don’t need to go to a job to make money.

Same🧐

Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?

Hello,

I moved to USA in 2017 on F1 visa. I was not selected for H1-B in the 3 years of my OPT. While my company is transferring me to Canada and can potentially get me back on L1 visa, the shifting situation is stressing me out. The thought of moving to another country in a couple of months is causing a lot of anxiety and tough luck with the lottery is making me feel depressed.

Any suggestions on how to cope with the situation? (Please be considerate in the comment) Thanks in advance!
