Being a homemaker.

Patronize and insult you for not being able to tell that SevTiZ made a blatant necropost.

BillyBlaze, I was not even paying attention to the dates on the posts, to be honest.

It was just the fact that you seemed to make it such a huge deal that got to me. "Oh no.. necropost... let's flame."

Please...

Instead of turning this into a huge deal, let's just ignore it.

So I made a mistake by not looking at the dates. Bad Triv. The end.

Not quite the end; he still has to burn you in effigy, I'm sure...

I don't burn worthless peons. I save my materials for things slightly more deserving. Like the neighbors cat.

There's nothing wrong with being a homemaker. Raising children (raising children well - not just meeting basic needs like food and clothes) is as difficult as any profession I can think of off the top of my head, so I don't understand why the stereotypical housewife (I don't think 'househusbands' have been around long enough to have their own stereotype) is seen as ‘not meeting her potential’, or especially as anti-feminist! Homemakers can support feminism as much as women with careers. I can support racial equality without being part of a racial minority. Being a housewife is in no way hampering other women who want to work for a living. Personally, I want to change the world – but I’d be just as satisfied being married to someone who’s going to change the world as I would being that person. Maybe being supportive of them is the best thing I could contribute. The idea of raising a child, much less more than one, scares me senseless right now, but I’m very young, and I’m pretty sure I’ll want children someday.

In short, (I know, too late) doing what makes you happy, not what other people think you should be doing, should apply to everyone.

And all it cost you was the dignity you sacraficed by necroposting like a complete newbie!

So many people judge success or failure on how much your job pays or how many university degrees you have, or your title.

To be 100% honest, I don't think I want a career. As long as my job pays the bills, I'm fine, and down the track I would be perfectly happy to be a stay-at-home mum.
