My [31M] GF's [28F] goal is to be a housewife.

We've been dating for nearly 4 years, and ever since she told me this I've had a bad feeling. She says she "just wants to cook, clean, and do yoga all day" because "she's had two jobs since she was 17 and deserves to not work." I take this as she just wants to mooch off of whatever money I make, be lazy, and not have any real aspirations in her life. My initial thought was to head for the hills, but is this a common thought process? The message I got from it was, "you make all the money so I don't have to do shit for the rest of our lives." I mean, I would LOVE to not have to work again. I'd be the best Dad ever, but I've never really considered that to be a viable option. We currently live together and split most expenses down the middle. I guess I could take it as she believes in me, but is this an abnormal thing to be concerned about?

If push came to shove and the situation rolled out as she desired, and she hadn't said anything about it, I probably would not be upset. It's more the fact that she longs and yearns for the scenario that's bothersome to me. Is that weird?

UPDATE: She wants dogs, not kids.
