I honestly think if a woman wants to be a trad wife, then good for her! I got nothing against that, and I do agree that feminism is about choices. I do feel it's totally valid when a woman wants to stay home and be a domestic goddess. I think it's beautiful.

What I don't approve of is the misogamy involved in such posts. I don't like it when the conversation starts saying things like "he is the man and lord over the household, it's my job to cater to him" or "He is in charge" or what I really think is sick, expecting the woman to take care of the house and kids with no break what-so-ever. Like everyone needs a break. If the husband never helps, the woman never have a day off, never gets a full night sleep, etc. After the guy comes home from work, child care should be 50 -50 when he is home. Otherwise, when is the wife off of work? Is she never off of work? Does she ever get a day off, and hour off? Imagine having to work 24 hours a day, never getting off work, even when you are sleeping? No, that is not fair.

But if a family choses to have a parent stay at home and be a domestic goddess/god, good for them! Why not? If it works for you, great! And I wish economically, more families had that option. The 1950's housewife happened because of the economic prosperity! It was considered making it. I wish more people had that option. There is nothing wrong with being a stay at home parent, just don't make it sexist, and understand the stay at home parent will need a break, then will need time when they are off the clock, that's expected.
