  • I know women that are like that. For that, results may vary. Not every woman is cut out for that. I know some women that thrive off caring for children and domestic duties and feel absolute joy from being mothers and being able to give their family the love, attention and time that many working Mothers simply don't have the time to give. However, many feel bogged down, overly stressed and unfulfilled by that type of life. You can't know for sure unless you try.

    Living like that, for the women I know, requires good budgeting abilities and financial management skills - trust me, they are FAR from rich. I would recommend you get a college degree or some certification. Life as a housewife is far more challenging than TV shows make it look and you don't want to regret not having a back up plan if it doesn't work for you. Make sure your husband isn't a dick - I've heard of many marriages where the hubby treats the woman as a house servant rather than a contributing member of the household and wife.
