And many are not even taught how to run a house, or anything domestic. It is not really their fault but the fault of how they were educated.elena maria vidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629173535139807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-92014687277562989332008-05-06T23:33:00.000-04:002008-05-06T23:33:00.000-04:00The good news is that my employment position allow...The good news is that my employment position allows for my wife to be a housewife, a full-time homemaker.<BR/><BR/>The bad news is that my wife apparently finds no joy in her vocation and has no desire to make our house a home.

We are also hoping to homeschool our son (I recently posted a prayer request about this). However, even if we were not seeking to homeschool, my husband and I would like for me to have the privilege of being a full-time housewife.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
