People look at me weird when i say i'm a housewife and...

the fact that you're bothered by it means you question your own situation. maybe you should keep your occupations to yourself next time. raising kids isn't a popular subject these days.

I have a deep respect for you :) fuck what they say

Yes, they are just being judgmental. It is normal, but it is not very common though. I know a guy that is 20 years old just like me and is already married and everything. I still can't believe it sometimes.

All I wanna be when I grow up is a mother. That's it. I hate how I was raised so I want to. Well, you know.

Whenever I hear the word "housewife" I think of Beverly Hills...

The only real danger with being a housewife is the potentiality of not being able to support yourself if your relationship ever failed. At the same time as that should be a woman (or man's) choice to stay home and raise children, don't forget that you never know if something may happen that would leave you needing to support yourself. Also fuck the haters, just do what you do. :)

Ugh I hate that!! My experience isn't quite like yours, but sort of the same concept. I work part time and new team members and even customers want to know why they never see me.

I got married young at 19 and I'm now 25. We don't have kids yet because I'm not a typical Utahn baby factory and some medical junk too. My husband and I are best friends and share the same interests. We are always together and keep busy. We do something almost every day. Fishing, hiking, going out of town on weekends, restoring his car, motorcycling, you name it. With working part time it has enabled us to build an even stronger bond and home-family structure so when we DO have kids we'll be ready. I think people are taken back by our relationship because we even know what we have together is rare nowdays in a crazy stressful world. He has a great job and works hard to provide financial stability and that also allows us to have some fun. When people find out why I only work part time, they want to know all the details and how it's possible. I don't understand why it matters so much to people. They aren't even nice about it half the time. They accuse me of being lazy and bored. When they say that I just smile, point out the window and say, "See that blue bullet bike out there? My life is anything but boring." I love it! It shuts them right up. It says a lot with out saying anything.

When I am feeling nice and sharing (in their words) our 'secrets' they have the look of utter confusion and a plain stupid look on their face. Most of the time I dont' even know why I'm talking. My secret is we live our lives the way WE WANT TO!! Get rid of Facebook and Twitter, and stop comparing yourself to everyone else. Becasue you're making yourself unhappy and limiting what you can accomplish in life.

Sorry that was really long, but I do understand exactly what you're saying. I try not to let it bug me. I'm just mostly amazed why people have to critcize me just because I'm young and only work part time.

The answer is obvious. I mean really? you don't know why?
