Admin	CAREER + WOMEN = DISASTROUS FAMILY??? Posted : 10 Jul, 2012 01:32 PM What's wrong if women wanted a career? I just came across too many men who expects the woman to cook, wash, clean the house and have babies! Sad. Aren't we women supposed to have dreams n careers? What would you rather have? A career woman or a houseproud housewife? I don't see any wrong if a woman has dreams n career as long as she doesn't neglect her family. Post Reply

View Profile History	CAREER + WOMEN = DISASTROUS FAMILY??? Posted : 10 Jul, 2012 10:42 PM I agree to the pros and cons.yes. I too grew up with a very busy mom who was the housewife,bread winner,everything, because my dad was busy gambling and drinking. I hated it when my mom wasn't there when I felt I needed her the most! But, it also pushed me to grow and mature faster than my peers. Being the oldest of five I always had my hands full. And I thought I'd never work when my kids are young and be there for them until they are at college. Now that I look back I actually think my mom managed family n career together quite well. And I'm changing my mind that to have a career while raising a family isn't a bad thing as long as I am balanced. But, I'm not sure yet. More suggestions and opinions would be appreciated. Post Reply
View Profile History	CAREER + WOMEN = DISASTROUS FAMILY??? Posted : 11 Jul, 2012 05:28 AM When women began to work in the 60's and 70's especially they worked and the families had disposable income to do fun things together as a family. Today that is not the norm. Back then women didnt need to work today they usually do because our economy adjusted to the 2 income standard. I personally believe women actually lost so much when they decided to go to work and lost freedom that probally will never get back. I personally believe this is largely due to the break down of the family where families wallets got larger for a time families actually began to get smaller and today even smaller where many of us are only one child and a parent. Does anyone see something wrong with this other than me? I think the church men and women need to rethink our priorities. Rethink what Gods best truly is for us. What is our purpose as godly families. The wolrd is falling apart and the church is following right behind. Post Reply
View Profile History	CAREER + WOMEN = DISASTROUS FAMILY??? Posted : 11 Jul, 2012 08:57 AM I think this equation depends on the couple. I am not a feminist by any means i know who I am in Christ and for all those who fought for women's rights back then to some degree we are grateful. Women seem to think they have a lot to prove as well as men now do, now that most women are dominating the workplace. If our identities weren't wrapped up in what we do or how much money we make would this even be an issue? Roles are now being reversed and some people think that it's wrong for the wife to work and the man stays home with the kids. If this is something that they mutually agree to as husband and wife who are we to say it's wrong? When I get married I hope to be working with youth which is a passion of mine but this is something that would be discussed before marriage even in premarital counselling something that sounds nonexistent today. In my church when two people begin courting before a ring can be given they go through counselling, if after they want to continue through to engagement they still continue counselling. If we have kids, because I have no idea how God is going to move, we'll discuss that too. My parents still managed to raise me even though they worked, also my grandmother who babysat for them from time to time. I was helped with my homework, they never missed a P.T.A etc. I think I came out pretty well. All in all it depends on the situation and the couple seeking God's will. I don't think anyone else has the right to tell them "no you're doing it wrong." Post Reply

Posted : 11 Jul, 2012 10:17 AM life and economy is hard these days and most couple need both of them to work to make ends meet. but if had a choice i would rather stay at home and take care of my family. I can still work at home, or do some home business so i can still be with the kids at home and take care of the family and at the same time earn at home to help the family's income. Post Reply
GraceAndKindness View Profile History	CAREER + WOMEN = DISASTROUS FAMILY??? Posted : 11 Jul, 2012 09:13 PM I grew up with a liberal mom who grew up in church.. but. Went to liberal college, I am well versed on not only feminist issues but I was an activist as well. (Mommy and I have repented by the way.. ). The one thing I do agree with from my excelorated Polisci studies is that to some point, most are feminist, if there is such a thing as levels of, and the lowest being that everyone is equal. There are things both sexes do better that are by no means based on gender/stereotype. Tried all my life, can't iron, don't know why. The man that marries me (if that should happen) will not get his shirts ironed by me, not because I wouldn't want to, but because I can�t. Frankly wouldn�t mind if he cooked. Back to the point; as a child I ran straight to daddy with math homework, when a dress didn�t fit, I ran to mommy. But even today, when I�m not feeling so well, I call my mommy. Nothing can substitute, even now; when Mommy says �oh my baby what�s the matter?� she hears it in my voice and knows- Mommy anointing! There�s nothing like having your mother�s full attention, and I have to wonder if that�s the way God set it up?? I think my mom and me have �made up for lost time�, I didn�t have this growing up so much. She�d buy me anything I wanted, but I didn�t� get her attention. Maybe she felt contributing to the finances was an expression of love, working at the Post Office at night; I saw her pretty much on her days off. But even with the blessing of having a working daddy in the home, any attention and time spent with mommy growing up, meant so much!! A Mommy�s attention cannot be replaced or duplicated, and I do believe it�s meant to be this way. Post Reply
View Profile History	CAREER + WOMEN = DISASTROUS FAMILY??? Posted : 11 Jul, 2012 11:59 PM Mmm...I think its ok if the woman can find quality time to be home while having a career . I knew a friend who hated his Mom coz she was just a housewife. I asked him why? And his answer was 'I am ashamed to tell people that my mom's a housewife,because my friends' moms are all educated and working.' Think think think! And most kids nowadays are more proud of working moms than houseproud mom. Then what? Post Reply
Apostelle View Profile History	CAREER + WOMEN = DISASTROUS FAMILY??? Posted : 12 Jul, 2012 01:04 AM The reality is that most women must work. I will also say that I could never stay at home while my wife worked. The Bible says that a man who will not support his family is worse than an infidel. That being said, if I make enough money to support my family in comfort, then I would not want my wife to work unless it was a job she could do at home. Only God comes before children. Taking care of children comes before career, friends, happiness, and even other family members. Post Reply
