Housewife. Male. 25-35 years old. Prepare meals, pack lunches, tend to children, wash and fold laundry, clean house, bake goodies on special occasion, tend to lawn and garden, maintain budget, proficient at Excel/Microsoft Money. Must be willing to travel, adapt to change, and acclimate quickly.
You know, today I've been thinking. . . I would like my husband to stay home and play housewife; keeper of all. It's not that I don't like doing all that, I'm getting really tired of trying to do everything. I guess what I'm really trying to say is I'm getting restless; bored; anxious. There is so much I want to do... I want to work new construction at a nuke plant; I want to start up a new unit at a coal plant; I want to work in Dubai; I want to be in the South American jungle. I want a career! I don't just want to be an engineer in a cubicle. I want to be out in the field. I want to do, do, do! And I want my husband to be at my side, presenting me with blueberry bread when I get home from work; I want to walk thru the door and smell dinner a-stewin'. I want a fresh set of laundry all tidied and tucked away; an uncluttered, clean house.
Yep. I could live with that. I wouldn't mind being the man in this relationship. Just as long as Mike isn't eating bon-bons and playing video games all day. I think I was born wrong.
No one pinch me just yet, I'm enjoying this fantasy (no, not of mike nekked in a frilly apron - GEESH, what are you guys THINKING?).

I don't blame you, ESPECIALLY as an engineer, for wanting to be "in the field." Dubai is AWESOME even to the untrained eye.
Mmmm...blueberry bread....
Oh Bianca, Bianca! I can relate...
It's too late but only suggestion I have is that you should've married in your thirties after you had your career and fun. Is it possible to get some help from others like mom or a nanny? Just trying to brainstorming here.
Yah, this whole post sounds about right.
Yes! Yes! Darn Michael for sweeping me off my feet and ruining all my plans!
Mike's motto is "don't be selfish" - I would be selfish putting my career first before a family. And he's right... but oooooh! how exciting it would be!!!
Why is it that "we" woman have to do so much more? I think it's because we are so much better at multi-tasking... I don't know!
I know how that is... I quit my job in May '07 to do stuff I'd always wanted to do but hadn't because I was either in school full time or working full time. One of those things was to start up my own business. I was just getting to the super exciting part of finding the right manufacturer so I could get some samples produced when I found out I was pregnant. Needless to say my priorities changed and Larry & I decided for me to put those plans on the back burner for now. But lately I've been kind of itching to work on my business again. I asked Larry about it and he says sure, but not while he's still in school. What's another 3 years if I've already waited for 4, right?
