[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man here-- I agree that saying you want to be a stay at home wife can be off-putting.  Maybe that's what ends up happening, but I wouldn't put it in your dating profile.  It may attract men who are very conservative or belong to certain religions, but others might find it weird.  Honestly, with you being so young,[b] it reads as a little naive[/b], like you think everything will be roses and sunbeams as long as you have love.

And +1 on the financial stuff.  It's hard enough to support a family without someone tapping out of the workforce early.  Isn't it enough to have summers off?  Or you could go part-time.  Not working at all just seems like, why?  [/quote]

This.  Life doesn't go as planned.  Unless you specifically want to marry an older man or an independently wealthy man.  Younger men are unlikely to have saved enough, or earn enough, for the wedding you no doubt want and the kind of home you'd like to have for your kids (i.e., 3+ BR and a yard in a good school district).  If a man in his late 20s or early 30s really feels the need for a stay-at-home wife and is willing to take the financial hit, you have to wonder why.  Is it really that hard to cook and clean for two people, that it needs to be your full-time job?

Also, remember that being at home without kids means you take the lion's share of the in-law duties as well.  If anything comes up with his parents and they need care, you're doing it.  Enjoy![/quote]
