I'm raising my daughter to be 'traditional wife' one day

[Anonymous]

I'm an academically accomplished attorney with a long, varied career all centered on public interest positions.

All my life I've struggled with the inner me, who wanted very much and nothing more than to be home with a bunch of kids and dogs and maybe a cat and a house full of after school friends visits chaos and fun and love.

The career began in victim advocacy with sexual assault and domestic violence victims, then I went to legal aid as an attorney with the same kind of work, then I became a public defender then I became a prosecutor.

Having seen all that I've seen over the decades from the universe of what some (too many) men will do to women and children, and seeing it every single day in the local and not so local news, I take comfort in the path I stumbled on.

I live with the sadness of not having made a family of my own, but free from the anxiety of what the world might do to my children and what their own father might do to all of us.

It's exceedingly dangerous to entrust yourself to a husband.

Sad, and sadly true.

Sad, but also very clearly biased based on PP’s particular line of work…

I think what Gen Z is telling us is women have been duped into thinking feminism means the solution to women’s happiness is working 9 to 5 at some job just like the men have been doing.
Newsflash: it sucks!
So maybe a man IS, in fact, a plan. And a good one if it means I don’t have to stare at a computer screen and four cubicle walls my whole adult life.

no good quality man wants a woman who offers nothing other than like 'helping him at home' when he could have someone with a brain who is also attractive and smart and contributes to society AND is a good mom and partner.
Like - why would you want a dependent? Fair if it turns out that way but not like - a life plan. esp if person not that attractive.

yeah but men don't want a sucubus.
SAHM is a thing that happens for a bunch of reasons. It's not something most men are like - looking for. why would you? they dont want to stare at 4 walls either!

Maybe this works if you’ve got really average and unremarkable daughters who are super good at domestic tasks? Like I wouldn’t close it off as a path for a girl without other options.

Get real. Attractive and interest in sex trumps brains 1000x.

Contribute to society? No man is thinking about during courtship, ever.

This thread is so pathetic. Does not do a good job of the push to make a mediocre white man your husband. Just sickening.

Don’t you read the daily updates about the millions of husbands who DON’T abuse or murder their wives? Is that section not in your paper? Weird.

Why do you say “like” so much? (It’s obvious you have posted more than once in this thread.) Do you think it makes you seem, like, remarkable? Although I suppose I AM remarking on you, so well played.

Two daughters had careers and married very late? One continued to work, other moved to another country and only worked part time
. One never married, was dedicated to her work. It doesn't matter what mothers think, daughters have their own minds.

And that's good. Humans are not ROBOTS, each human deserves a to make choices and if they want a career then that's a good thing too!
