Thoughts on childfree housewives

The only opinion that matters is your future husband. If it makes sense for you two, collectively and individually, do what makes you happy.

It only matters that your husband is okay with it, honestly. Most men who would like stay at home partners generally want children though so.

I just started! Week 3 starts tomorrow, last week was rough not knowing what to do with my time since I was working 70 hours a week. But this weekend I was able to make a to do list that hopefully will keep me busy for this 4 day week!

Might be hard to find someone who would be cool with that, but not impossible. Ultimately it's up to you and your future husband and is no business, or problem, of anyone else.

I am a child free housewife and my husband is happy. I am happy. That’s all that matters. Only your husband’s opinion will matter.

I’m one and I love it, and I think my husband loves it more! I did work full time for about the first eight years of our marriage, but have been a full time housewife for about 5 years now. It did take some getting used to, but I wouldn’t change it now for anything.

I think it’s great, but I think it also depends on what skills you bring to the table and how your days would be structured. It’s also more difficult in this day and age to live off one income, but also not impossible.

I work from home, so not a true housewife, but I am responsible for all the same tasks and household management. We’re both childfree and we were looking for a traditional style relationship when we met, so it’s out there. You’d just have to find the right person and have a talk about how you want your futures to look.

The only opinion that matters here is your husbands. Finding a man who will be on board with no kids and you staying home may not be super easy but there’s a match for everyone out there.

I’m personally not a fan of such arrangements because you will completely deskill and find yourself in trouble should things not work. At least work one day a week! xo

I was a CF housewife for 2y and it was great. I spend my time lounging and shopping and relaxing. I always make sure to have a nice dinner for my husband. Also don't feel the need to give excuses on the why. Having kids is not everyone's dream, even for people that align with RP

How do you see yourself using your time/contributing?

I think it depends on the extent of what needs to be done at home. I've been a SAHM since my oldest was born 18 years ago. I have 3 children (whom I homeschool), and we have a homestead (I grow & preserve almost all of our food for our family), I also make everything from scratch (including things like our soap, homemade cleaners etc). It is a TON of work, certainly more than a full-time job. As the kids get older (they are teenagers now), they do help quite a bit.

When the kids are old enough to move out, my workload won't really change much - in fact, it may even be more work without them here to help. Oh Monday, I made a year's worth of pickles for our family. It took me 7 hours. If I was working a job outside the home, I'd just be earning money to outsource these tasks (ie - buying pickles). So I consider my work at home, my financial contribution to our family.

There is SO MUCH MORE that I want to be able to do, but with the kids and homeschooling, I can't seem to make time for. I love to sew, but don't seem to have enough time. (I'd love to be able to make most of my wardrobe). I need to organize our family photos. I need to create better organization and storage systems. There are rooms I want to paint. I always feel there aren't enough hours in a day to accomplish everything I want to.

I think there are plenty of homemaking tasks even for those who don't have children. You could paint your home, decorate, bake, deep clean, grow a garden, etc. There are so many ways to make a valuable contribution at home.
