At this point in our lives I stay at home. By not working I am saving our family money on child care, lawn service and a lot of other things I'm able to do that would cost more if I weren't doing them. Staying at home does not make me inferior to my husband. It does not mean he is the ruler of this house.
I know too many women that are so caught up in equal rights and blah, blah, blah that they forget you still need to be a good wife. My husband could survive without me. Your husband could too. But you should make them not WANT to.
Fixing my husbands plate is the least I can do after he has been gone from home all day. After he has clocked in before the sun has come out and clocked out when it has already set. When he carries the financial burden of taking care of this family day after day and never once held it over our heads. I think he deserves a plate sat in front of him.
