My soon to be ex other half and I were discussing a tv programme we had been watching about Christian families in this century discussing their views on their beliefs. They said a girl belongs to father until she marries then she belongs to her husband. A woman's purpose is to cook, clean, take care of the home and raise as many children as possible. A woman has no life of her own outside the family and only leaves the home to do something with the children or the weekly shop. To which my other half says being absolutely serious I totally agree with all of that after all women are just temptresses there to hurt men. Um excuse me? Has anyone else experienced such an unusual view? |

I wasn't raised to believe that one choice was better than another. I was raised to believe that if I have children and am lucky enough not to have to work then obviously taking other halfs feelings into consideration as well as any children's. Ultimately the choice is mine wether I choose to go out to work or stay at home and not dictated by my other half simply because he believes I should be tied to the home. |

You can't blame a man for thinking you are his slave when the vast majority of women agree without a second thought to being known as 'Mrs His Name' from day one of the marriage. |

I enjoyed not going out to work when my children were small - but as we lived in the middle of nowhere, and I don't drive, working was a bit difficult! I also breastfed my children, which saved money!! |

My missis didn't need to work, but she did, when she needed to......in fact her early wages helped buy our first car........I preferred her to look after the children, and the home...........fortunately I earned enough money for her NOT to have to work, outside of the home.......we must have been doing something right, for 55 years........ |

I'd have gone crazy without a career. My brain began to turn to mush after 8 months not working, so I taught adults at night school until our son started school then I went back to work, part time at first. |
