Is it wrong to day dream about being a trophy wife?

| Sometimes I sit at my desk at work, sipping my coffee and day dream about how nice it would be if I was a trophy wife. Nothing to do except look pretty, go to tea with the ladies and take afternoon naps. |

That's not how it works for 99.9% of the population.
You'd get bored pretty quickly, OP. |

Many women want to be a trophy wife however very, very few are attractive enough to pull it off. |

Does your daydream include hashtagging the brands you're wearing on Instagram?
That would be so sweet. |

| I have plenty of day dreams that I know wouldn't be nearly so awesome in real life, but it's fun and harmless to imagine. |

| Maybe you already are a trophy, from whatever kind of contest from hell that your DH won. |

| I daydream sometimes about being retired young, which is basically what a trophy wife is. I've always worked but I have enough hobbies and volunteer gigs that I could absolutely fill my time without a full-time job. It would be amazing. |

It depends.
If I could have fallen in love with a very wealthy man that was rich enough I didn't have to work and instead pursue my own interests, then yes of course that would have been desirable. But that's not how love works. I fell in love with a man that is not rich but who I would change for nothing. |

| Its fun for like a year. When we moved to DC i left behind a really stressful job and decided to give myself a little time to get settled. My older kids were entering a new school and I kept my youngest home for a few months before I found a good preschool fit. Once he was gone half days and the others full days it was bliss for about 10 months. Decorated the house how I wanted, really really organized things, got systems in place that to this day make my life easier, started going to the gym at 10am instead of 5 am which really made a difference in my sleep quailty, etc etc. Then one day I just got sick of it and was ready to "enter" society and took a job later that spring. I think in order to make it fufilling long term you need a lot of other stay at home moms who are out of the baby stage and can actually hang out. To me that seems rare but I know in certain circles its not. |

Inner suburbs is lousy with SAHM -- as WOHM I feel in the minority, especially among DS classmates |

Even trophy wives do more than that, lol. I would stop dreaming and find a guy with a decent income that doesn't care if you work or stay home. |

Each to their own. If you don't have hobbies or a lot of friends, kids, activities etc. you may get bored.
It's nice to be able to choose what you want. Just don't be jealous of others. |
