Can I just say how refreshing it is that there are still SOME women out there who think being a good contribution to society doesn't mean that she has to abandon traditional gender roles? :) *lol*Any advice for a young person who wants to be a good house wife when she grows up?
Hmm. Sorry you didn't get the answer you were looking for. I just wanted to comment, really. :P
If you're not getting a satisfactory answer, you can always delete the question so you don't have to worry about it. *l*
Report Abuse
learn to use spices for cooking, sew on a button and hem, get dressed every morning even if you are staying home, cook or order out, but provide a meal somehow. use a budget for household expenses, straighten up every day it is easier and do toilets etc once a week.
Always think positive %26amp; that's all.
Know your territory in the home, and make sure your hubby knows the same. The man owns the garage, attic, basement, and home office. Otherwise he only gets veto power provided he doesn't abuse it. The woman owns the rest.
Recognize you can still make a substantial financial contribution. If you can save $70 a week in shopping by prudent price comparison, coupons, waiting for sales, substitution, gardening, etc. that's the same as earning $100 pre-tax.
Keep some personal outside interests, and I don't mean shopping, spending, and home redecorating. This gives you something of your own, and supresses the urge to hound your hubby and kids as soon as they get home to tell you everything they did at work/school that day or redecorate every 3 months.
We live in the age of microwaves, so when you cook something nice or subatantial (be it chicken, beans, italian, etc.) make a little extra and keep it in the fridge for a snack.
Finally, work around the other person. I loved a story my sister told of my niece afer she first got married. My niece was complaining that her husband enptied his pockets of keys, wallet, etc. on the fridge every day and it made the kitchen look messy. My sister told her daughter she was being foolish - he dropped his stuff there because he was well over 6' and it was a convenient place to store them out of everyone's way - he had probably done that his whole life - just put a basket there - its not worth complaining about. You will find things like this eveywhere.
Get really good at sex and marry a rich guy,.... that way,.. you only need to be good at one thing ;)
Show lots of love and honesty! Being a good cook never hurts!
It comes from your heart if its what you realy want
You need to think about remaining a good student only and forget bout marriage.. You want to be independant. You will rememberwhat i just told you later in your life..Hopefully you will make the correct choice. theres alot of srewed up men out there..even the ones you would think otherwise..This is what I told my daughter and she listened...Thank God...wait til your at least 30 doll...dan
Store lots of tears to cry at nights when the need arises
as it will sure do.
learn to take BULLSHEETS
PREPARE FOR LONELINESS until the kids arrive.
Most of all, learn to live one day at a time.
Get married, buy a house, have three kids, the rest will just come to you.
