It suited our little family very well. A lot of people were very rude and wondered why I didn't work full time. Being any sort of homemaker is deeply scowled upon in this country. Very very sad.

I wondered if there was ever a time in your life when you felt "guilty" for being a housewife. I think the pressure of our culture here in the United States is such that women who are housewives do feel a certain sense of guilt. <br />In my family I have a sister-n-law who is an RN making almost $50.00/hr, a niece who is an RN making almost $35.00/hr and there are times when I feel bad because I haven't done something like that. My husband does not want me working at all but I do work part-time, 9 hours a week doing homemaking for the elderly. Our children are grown and moved out so it is just me and him here at home. <br />I hate battling these feelings of inferiority to other women because I don't have a high-ranking position in the corporate world. I also want to be able to embrace my role as a homemaker, wife, mother and grandmother. <br />God bless you for keeping this blog going and encouraging so many of us.Kerri Gallionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17222104981700738849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-11643681671923079412016-10-03T22:28:11.010-04:002016-10-03T22:28:11.010-04:00Oh thank you for this post, Mrs. White!

While I am overjoyed at the opportunity to do this, I'm finding the transition a bit bumpy. My mother is an absolute feminist & not only discouraged me from taking home ec in school, but also didn't teach me anything about running a household. (She wasn't all that interested in this herself) So you see, I am trying to learn to do this home making thing on the fly... with mixed results. Your blog is an encouragement & great resource to me. It especially helps to be reminded that I am not "just a housewife!"Keowdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822164041930362667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-49929636162938057782016-09-22T06:10:38.835-04:002016-09-22T06:10:38.835-04:00I could'nt agree more,why have children or get...I could'nt agree more,why have children or get married if you do not believe in it.Rosemary UKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11736660949097379171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-61675195157895093322016-09-12T22:28:23.965-04:002016-09-12T22:28:23.965-04:00This has been a very encouraging post to read!

I'm a (rather new) housewife of only 3 years and even though growing up I'd always imagined I would become a housewife and stay at home mother, it didn't happen until after our daughter was born, and even then I was still working for the first year after she arrived. <br /><br />My mother was a housewife (she still is, even with all of us children being adults by now) and she has always been a great example of what a housewife should be. She has cared for and loved us so much, I can't even put it into words. I pray I can become like her and that my children will have as fond of memories of their growing up years as I do of mine. <br /><br />Your post is such an encouragement to read. Thank you so much for sharing. <br />Blessings,<br />BibiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10086883716707598658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-19480090135028417182016-09-11T20:55:14.264-04:002016-09-11T20:55:14.264-04:00Hello from Kansas.

Every once in awhile I watch reruns of the Bob Newhart Show and remember when it was on television originally. I was in High School when the women's libber rage was going on. We have suffered a loss of gender identity as well. Not sure how we were suppose to behave. Through the years I have returned to a more traditional role and am praising God and my Husband for allowing me to be a Keeper of the Home. Amen.<br />All the best to you,<br />dDeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08019741103496608961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-90716841823618853962016-09-10T13:32:32.344-04:002016-09-10T13:32:32.344-04:00I am also a housewife.

Then I fell in love, the first pregnancy came a few months later and that was that. It's now been 22 years and 5 babies later and I am still here doing the same daily things and being content. I am so inspired by you Mrs. White, you are such a blessing to us in this modern world.

I too am a house wife/home maker, and I'm proud of it.<br /><br />When I was a little girl, I had dreams like other little girls, to be a nurse or whatever. But mostly, I dreamed of being a house wife and mommy. At age nineteen, I trained to be a nurse. Then I studied cosmetology. I worked in a jewelry store and I was assistant manager of a lady's wear all before the age of twenty-three. By then I was expecting our first child. I quit working and stayed home during my pregnancy and planned to stay home and be a mommy and home maker.<br />Best decision I ever made! <br /><br />I was in Ministry by my hubby's side for many years too and I loved it. It felt wonderful to be used by the Lord to minister to others. I happened to have the gift of music so I was honoured to be able to use that too during those years.<br /><br />I have worn many hats. But the most important "hat" I have ever worn was that of a stay-at-home-mommy and wife. <br /><br />I am blessed to have been able to live my dream and if I could, I would do it all over again. My children are glad I stayed home with them and they have told me so numerous times. <br /><br />In my opinion, although perhaps not a popular one these days, I still believe a woman's place is in the home, if at all possible. I also believe there would be less marriages ending in divorce if the wife stayed home.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing and it's lovely to find other ladies in blogland who feel being a home maker is a high calling in life.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Sandi Sandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-59006300407299701252016-08-29T15:22:43.835-04:002016-08-29T15:22:43.835-04:00Praying!

Being at home all these years have given this family so much stability and love and strength of the wind that is blowing lies and deception. A lady that keeps her heart home, even if she must be gone has at least a portion of what maybe God can bring her home completely! Keep sharing and shedding the light of what a woman can do to influence the world...<br />Blessings, Roxyliving from glory to gloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123718369605106023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-26972637916462469792016-08-28T10:15:16.967-04:002016-08-28T10:15:16.967-04:00I am happy to be just a housewife ❤️ And this expl...I am happy to be just a housewife ❤️ And this explains why when I rarely watch tv or movies, I prefer the old 30s 40s and 50s ones to anything made after that.

I just thank God every, single day for the wonderful privilege of being a full-time wife and mother and homeschool teacher. It is the dream of my heart, and I feel so very blessed to be able to live out this dream every day. How could anyone wish for more? I mean no harm, and I realize sometimes it cannot be helped, but women are very much out of their God-ordained element, and that is why there are so many discontented children and broken marriages. It is heartwrenching, and if we would just follow God's beautiful plan, we would all be so much happier. It is a burden that stays ever with me to see the moral decline...so very sad. Thank you for always standing for truth here and for upholding the old paths.
