Nique, you're such a pig!
No, nuthin wrong with a little lingerie after a long day!
On the housewife topic, through my teens and most of my 20's, I never thought I'd want to have children. I then met my husband, who's degree is in child development, and gradually decided that it would be right for me. I had my first when I was 32 and kept working, part-time. I had my second at 34 and quit altogether. It has been AMAZINGLY tough being away from work after having worked full-time for 10+ years, but I decided that it would be the best thing for my family. I wanted to be there for my kids as they grow, and will be here for them when they get home from school, etc.
I didn't have that growing up and it was really difficult. Our mom was single and worked like crazy. I am the oldest and had to take on a lot of responsibility that I shouldn't have had at that age (10-17). I basically swore that IF I decided to have children, I would really be there for them. I think some are able to make it work, and do it well, working outside the home. I just experienced the extreme opposite growing up, and want my children to have a better, more supportive environment.
Oh, and it's nice to make dinner for the hubby in a french maids outfit sometimes...
Sorry, this thread keeps getting hijacked! NinaG...you're still smokin in those sevens!
And maybe for some people it wasn't a choice. Some men don't want their wives to work.
