It isn't bad to be a housewife. If your husband makes enough money to support you and the kids, there is nothing wrong with it.

But I think your mother may wish that she had some sort of career before kids, and every mother wants better things for her children. Today's world is open wide for women and careers and she just wants you to be able to take advantage of these opportunities. Don't fault her for that.

Some people look down on it because they have this image of the wife sitting on the couch all day eating bon-bons. But I think that the women who work are actually jealous of the women who don't.

Let your mom know how much you appreciate that she was always there for you and how happy you are that she was able to do that. I'll bet that some of your friends wish their moms could have stayed home!!

sometimes women must stay home w/ kids when there's no 1 else 2 watch them, & when $$$'s tight & no relatives r available SOME 1 MUST stay w/ the kids. then again, other times, men can stay home, but society expects men 2 work outside the home because he's the head of the household/provider. personally, i thing ppl frown on housewives/ homemakers due 2 jealousy & because the housewives r loooked @ as 'leaches' or 'busybodies' 'bums' who dont work. nowadays this kinda life is really seen by society as a downer. personally, I think things all depend on what GOD's Perfect Plan is 4 U. situations vary. if she's led by God 2 stay home, then she should do what she feels in her heart is God's Plan 4 her. What's right 4 1 may NOT B right 4 another. AGAIN; situations vary.

Best Wishes!!!

What you do is completely up to you. Only you know yourself and know what would make you happiest. If you would be happy staying at home, by all means! If you would be happy to continue working, do it! A happy mom is a good mom., and one who resents what she is doing is not being the best mom she can be. My mom stayed home with us until we were all in school full-time and she never regretted a thing. Me on the other hand, I was always the kid who got bored by the second week in July of summer breaks, so there's no way in heck I'll be happy staying home all day when I start having my own.

Let your mom know first that you admire her for being a home manager. There is a great benefit to the family when a parent chooses to stay home and prioritize the efficient home managing tasks. I know a lot of people look down on this but I worked part time while raising my children. I mostly worked at Child care Centers so I could get paid for watching my children. I know that they were better students because I was there to be involved in their school work. i know that they ate better because I was home to plan meals and shop instead of grabbing unhealthy fast food. I know they were glad when they could share news (bad or good) with me as soon as they came home. I can and could always say I am a good mom and as of yesterday a good grandma. My standard is thee woman of Proverbs 31 in the Bible

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a stay at home mom. Your mother should not be ashamed of herself. You are the one that decides what is right for your family.

Your mom should be proud of her work with you kids, for she gave you the real sense of family and that family comes first. Children should be raised by their mothers, then they grow on right rather than being jerks or bums.

If you want to be a mother at home, please follow your heart. You'll thank your own work in the end, and you husband will be proud of you as well.

Blessings.

i guess everyone has their own opinion on things...n u have a right to have ur own..if u feel that ur happy home with kids do that...do whatever pleases u...its ur life....u shud be happy thats what matters....

uve to live ur life not ur Mom's or any of other people who feel being home is sick or smthg to be ashamed off...

im qualified n have worked both before & after marriage but after having kids i just luv being home with them...they need me the most now so i with them enjoying my time....

Sorry to hear your mom feels this way. She has a distorted view of working mothers. They miss out on the best years of their children's life for a pay check that they spend on frivolous clothes/gas/child care.

Heavens No.

I would say you would be lucky and fortune enough to be able to do so.
