In these days, it's increasingly harder to find a lot of women that are housewives, especially since the massive emancipation of females that occured, one of the best things that has happened to our society. I can see why some women prefer to stay at home, in order to see their kids grow up and always be there for them. My mom was always a housewife and it was good for me, but working is also good for your sanity and the lack of social ties due to being always at home is preoccupating.
