A housewife or a workingwife

[jansky]

Maganda sa isang pamilya na ang Ina ay nasa tahanan at nagpapalaki ng mga bata at nag aasikaso ng mga gawaing bagay samantalang ang lalake eh nag tatrabaho sa labas
BUT
let us say you're wife is college not just a college graduate but Cumlaude

which one will you choose

[tidus1203]

Its her decision as far as I am concerned. While it might be nice if the kids are raised by the mom, sometimes you just can't stop an ambitious person....

[raine]

bro mahirap na desisyon yan at tanging kayo lang magasawa ang makakapagsabi, and if ever na ano ang naging desisyon nyo ngayon dapat wag kayong magsisihan pagdating ng panahon,
example:
kami ng wife ko pereho kaming working noon same company, matipid noon kasi sabay kami ng pasok kaya sa pagkain baon na lang at sasakyan .
nagdecide kaming huminto na lang siya para magbantay ng 2 bata, sacrifice sa point na mababawasan ng income, pero mababantayan naman ang mga bata, kaya ako doble kayod, pero yun ang gusto namin kaya dapat maging suportive kami sa isat isa.

I think it's a privilege to be a housewife. I'll be more than willing to give up my career and not apply my post grad degree anymore. I think taking care of my child would give the greatest sense of fulfillment. The only problem is that most guys want their wives to work. AT least in my circle. It's sad. really.

Ako, pinapili ko wife ko and she chose to work not just to provide added income but also support na rin for her parents. It's a good thing also na mag-work siya for her own good. Idle mind sometimes leads to rustiness and poor decision-making kasi kulang sa experiences from the outside world. Isa pa sayang ang pinag-aralan nya from school.

I disagree na mas maayos magpalaki ang isang Ina na nasa bahay kaysa nagtatrabaho. Ako at mga kapatid ko were raised by both working parents, sometimes nasa abroad pa ang father ko. Wala naman akong nakitang problem. Pwede kasing nasa parents lang din yan... You need to sacrifice to raise good children... Spending with them more time during weekends and after office will help a lot... I assure you. I saw this sa ibang mga ka-officemates. It's working effectively for them

For me, I would encourage my wife to work and pursue her ambitions. I want her to be as independent as she can be. DI(WK) is definitely an advantage these days... Of course, we should share the house chores and taking care of the kids. Parenting is a big challenge indeed!

A woman that smart can surely work at home and create your own business.

I think it's not wanting. It should be encouraging. If the woman wants to stay at home, then that should be okay, too.

However, what if something happens to the husband? I know of a family who was managing to be relatively well-off. And then, so suddenly, my good friend(husband) passed away. His wife, because she has no previous work experience, other than what she was doing at home, could not find work and was forced to leave for the US (tnt), leaving the care of their kids to an aunt. That is sad...

What ever makes her happy. When my wife first moved to the US she was a housewife and didn't quite understand the budget constraints. However, once she started working became more involved with the finances and came to understand the budget constraints. Besides staying at home was driving her to boredom.

[Bogeyman]

It should be the woman's choice on whether to be a career woman or a housewife (some even manage to have a booming business while staying at home).

Besides, as my spouse has observed, plain housewives tend to be more suspicious about their husbands.

[iho250]

it's really up to you and your better half to decide. yes it would be better if both are earning but in our case, my wife stays at home. we'd rather see our child grow up with her mom than with someone we don't know...

my wife makes use of her time by being an entrepreneur in her own ways while at home for additional income

[chua_riwap]

Its depend yan eh.......

It depends on the situation. Ako po, isang OFW. Si Misis dati, isa siyang bank teller sa isa sa mga bangko diyan sa Makati. Ang nag-alaga sa baby namin, yung kasambahay lang namin. Sila lang lagi ang naiiwan sa bahay. Ang mahirap, minsan makikita na lang daw nya yung baby namin, pag-uwi nya, may mga pasa sa katawan. Di naman sinasabi ng maid namin, na nadulas (takot mapagalitan eh), nadisgrasya, malalaman mo na lang pag pina-check up mo na sa Dr.

Di pwede ipagkatiwala sa iba ang bata. Maraming maids na dumaan sa amin. Hanggang sa nag-decide na lang ang wife ko na tumigil na lang at siya na ang ttitingin at maga-alaga sa baby namin.

At isa pa......mahirap kung OFW ka. Tapos ang wife mo nagwu-work. Dami "demonyo" sa Pinas. Ha-ha!

a cumlaude wife is useful at work

[v6dreamer]

A wife is not just a housewife anymore. Cumlaude or not, its her rights to make her own descision as a contributor to the family. Raising a family are both way's (husband & wife) not just the mother responsibility but also the father. Children need's there fathers attention too!

[cablespy]

for the average income family sa panahon ngayon kelangan both parents working.

[XTO]

One thing is sayang naman pinag-aralan, but cum laude or not – it doesn’t matter. Let her choose. As long as the husband’s fine with the decision why not give a try. Then talk again after sometime. Wag naman yung after getting married e stop na agad.

When it comes to kids that would be left to yaya, kasambahay etc, a big help is the trust or there’s someone pref a relative or in-laws that can look while the parents are at work. Basta provide extra time for the kids after office and esp during rest days / weekends.

Malaking factor ang maniobra ng magulang sa paglaki ng mga batibots.

If my wife is a college... make her St. Scholastica's!

Yup, one of our Managers, whose wife is a housemaker, is always flooded by calls and text messages from his wife, asking him all sorts of questions. What time are you going home? What are you doing at work? et al..... It would appear to be sweet at the start, but if it happens all the time, then it's turning sour, according to him (especially if he receives those calls during important meetings in the boardroom.... )

LOL:funny: That's a very smart wife if she is a college, she won't need to work because she'll just collect tuitions.
