18, and just want to be a housewife, iin?

There's nothing wrong with being a housewife - except - when you see yourself as incapable or unworthy of anything else. Then its not so much a choice, but rather, is just by default. You are only 18, your adult life has barely started. Do you think there is someone you could talk to about this some more?

Being a homemaker or housewife just means you get to enjoy true living. You get to enjoy children and food and home. There is nothing more important. Except for juicing your nancyboy when he returns from his ridiculous advertising job.

I think everyone has his/her own ambitions so i think it's pretty normal

Being a "housewife" is a huge job. If you have kids also it's even bigger. Your unpaid jobs will include referee, cook, maid, dishwasher, laundry, lover, psychologist, nurse, taxi. That's only the beginning.

You are still young enough to figure what you really want to do. My daughter didn't know either. She finally got her AA and she's 27.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like a lot of women want to be housewives out of laziness. The idea of working for a living doesn't appeal to them, so they just want a husband to provide everything for them. I know it can still be hard work, especially if you have kids, but it just seems like something you'd do because you aren't very motivated.

The biggest flaw with your plan is that it depends too much on someone else. To be a housewife you need a husband first, and if you are going to be depending on him because you don't have a job, he better be a good one. You need to get a job if only so you can take care of yourself til Mr. Right comes along.

It's normal to genuinely desire motherhood and family life and not to care about a career.

It's retarded and abnormal for an 18 year old to sit there and pretend (yes, you're pretending) that she has "missed opportunities," (how can a teenager have missed any opportunity? You're literally still a BABY straight out the womb). You're not being real right now.

Im the same age & i totally want to do the same thing! but I think it would be hard finding a guy thats looking for that. I plan to go to school for a back up, but one day if i meet the right person im gonna stay home when i start having kids, might as well instead of working just to pay daycare, specially if you want alot of kids.

i don't know.. i feel like it's a bit of a cop-out, and good luck finding a man who will respect a woman with no loftier ambitions (although, men are afraid of ambition too, so it's a double-edged sword). you could probably find someone. there are men who would love that. really good, respecting men who are not chauvinists. so i think it's completely doable.

but i would suggest having another path, too. set a good example for your kids by showing them women are capable of more.

I'm 18 and feel the same way. And my mother wouldn't let me leave the house that much or let me stay the night with class mates growing up. I really don't know why. And I wonder if that connects with why we feel like we do. But I have been somewhat rebellious ever since I could drive. But I calmed down really quick. I just know I want to have a loving relationship and have my own place to take care of. And a later down the road get married and have kids. But for now I'm going to focus on living and exploring.

Everyone has a direction in life and maybe being a mom/ housewife is yours. You are still very young and shouldn't rush into anything just make sure that is really what you want before it's too late to change it.

I am 27 and wish I could be a housewife. When I was 18, I wanted a career. But after several failed attempts at success, I have realized I would be sooooo much happier being a housewife and possibly a stay-at-home mom, while my husband goes out and works to provide for us. But it's probably never going to happen, and I will have to work crappy low-paying jobs for the rest of my life, and not have any children :'(
