[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not everyone wants the career or the great job. Some just wnat to be a wife and a mom. They are just working the job until they get what they really want. They aren't giving up to center the man, they are giving it up because they never wanted a career and wanted their role in life to be wife and mom.

The women I know who thrive on being wife / mom also have traditional gender role views where they want a man who looks after them financially and who supports them in life and in being a wife / mom, and who protects them and is their rock.

That is the life they want. They are doing the role they want and have a man who is also in the role they want.[/quote]

My adoptive mother always said she was not a feminist, she had her identity in being a wife and mom. The problem is, she is better at being a wife than a mom. Once her kids grew past young childhood, her skills and EQ were not much help to us. In adulthood, I am estranged from my family and my brother is an entitled codependent mess, though she denies this and inserts herself into his life (and his second wife’s). She has alienated a lot of people and even though she is very (some might say over-)involved in her church, it seems like it’s just because their numbers and dwindling and she is willing to do the work. I don’t think she is very much liked.

If you put your man front and center and he’s a jerk, it rubs off on you. [/quote]
