Well, it's 9:53 and I'm awake insanely early this morning; I usually don't even stir until about eleven, but I had my mom wake me up before she left so I might actually be able to get some "work" done. Mind you, I never do actual work during the summer, just silly stuff that's not too taxing....like cleaning out my computer, writing, getting the leaves out of the pool(only by force and after four days of being reminded). I've decided that I'd make a horrible housewife. Aside from cooking, I really could care less about the whole lot of it. I hate housework, I hate yardwork; in general I'm just not too fond of the "Honey, I'm home" lifestyle. A marriage should be a partnership, in all respects. Don't get me wrong; I'm not knocking housewives here. I just don't think a woman should feel obligated to be just that. By the same token, a man should feel obligated (if both spouses are employed) to do a bit of the housework. But if being a housewife is what a woman wants, ok, I can deal with that. It's just most definately not for me.
I once dated a guy who was entirely too traditional for me. He always said that that, even if he made a smaller salary than his wife, he wanted to be responsible for the mortgage and the car payments. Does that make any sense?! Why in the world would I let my husband's salary dictate what sort of house we live in and what kind of cars we drive. Especially if I am the one with the larger salary. There is absolutely no shame in holding a joint account, where both spouses deposit and withdraw at will while still having consideration for one another's financial opinions.
