How stepford wife are you...

[LittleMissUnreasonable]

That's it really:)

Would you consider yourself a stepford wife and enjoy it, or modern working woman or something inbetween?

Interested in opinions here....some scorn at the submissive 'housewife' types as others relish in the role and really enjoy it. Others think homemakers do one of the most difficult jobs about with little appreciation.

Where do your opinions fall on this?

Btw I am NOT saying housewives and homemakers are stepford wives....but it's an opinion many share that the man should rule the household and he should habe a hot meal on the table when he returns from work etc.

I thought I would hate being a housewife. I was very career focused and often worked 7 days a week in my 20’s and early 30’s, overtime to make more money and push myself further along the career path. It was a difficult decision for me to give up work but in the end, geographical circumstances meant either me or my husband had to and because he was better paid in a better location, it was me. I always planned to go back to work after our daughter was in school but it hasn’t happened. I assumed it would out of sheer boredom but to be honest, I am happy not to work and feel very lucky I don’t have to.

I enjoy cooking and baking and until dd2 got very ill after Christmas I did the most of that, so meals usually on table at mealtimes. Although I have chronic migraines and fibro so DH is used to fending for himself and dds at no notice. As for housework we are a working farm and have 2 young kids and a show home is not my priority nor it appears dhs as long as it's clean I'm good. As for the housework DH isn't great at taking initiative but is fine with being gently steered with what needs doing and tbf always does the dishwasher (actually quite territorial over it).
As for the man being in charge DH is far too laid back for that to ever work, we have a business to run (crops would grow but no money would ever come in) a dd with additional needs and now one who has a severe infection which until recently we thought might have been leukaemia (looking promising it's not but been very scary) and a house to run, no I'm in charge by mutual consent!
