So I’m currently still engaged but both my fiancé and I agree that I can stay at home and take care of everything while he works out of town (He’s a welder and travels a lot). I enjoy being a “housewife” and fully understand that I have to take care of things like cooking and cleaning. We also like to budget all the money we have and know that there’s more than enough to live comfortably. So if this makes me and my fiancé happy, why can’t other people get that it’s ok to be a housewife as well?! I get judged, not only by friends but by family as well on a daily basis. They say I should get a job or I’ll look like a gold digger or like I’m just using him so I don’t have to work. I have many responsibilities here at home too. It’s not like I’m just sitting on my a** not doing anything. Sh*t has to get done while he’s away and it’s like they don’t even see that. I’m just frustrated with people wanting to change my life to fit their standards. I have no problem with getting a job or working women in general. I mean, more power to you! I just don’t feel like I need to right now and neither does my fiancé.
