Is it wrong of me to want to be a housewife?

Absolutely nothing wrong with that!

Speaking as a husband who grew up thinking I'd be part of a double income family, I was hesitant at first when I was seriously dating a person who stated that her focus would be rearing her children while staying home.

With my kids in their teens, I am glad my wife stayed home which reaped the benefits of that choice. I'm not saying there's something wrong with the other choice, just that the other choice fit in with me more. I'm glad my kids had more time with their mom and she had more influence with them during their early years. I feel they are more solid in their values. Yes we are the parents that wondered more about how our kids behaved and respected others than on specific grades from Kindergarten to middle school. They did well academically and still do. Sure, it wasn't as easy with remodeling our home or going on vacations, but it was something we could let go.

I see you may also experience hesitation at first from potential partners but it may be because they grew up in a double income family like me. I just didn't expect it, but I'm glad I have it. Stand firm if that's what you value as they also have their values .
