Houseband

HousehusbandWhatever bleeding-heart optimists say, being a housewife (or house husband for that matter) is not a noble job. It’s the recourse of a person who is too afraid of having a life other than as his/her partner’s satellite. Look, both my parents were teachers so my brothers and I grew up around various housemaids and we never resented our folks for that. In fact, I think it would have driven me insane had I grown up with my mother in the house all day, everyday. So no, I don’t think being a house-person is cute at all. Earning money is always better than staying at home and raising the kids. If you were earning money you’d have the power to hire people who will stay at home and raise the kids for you.
