>Valid Occupation
You don't reap the benefits until some 30+ years, and that's only if you did your job well.

As a man I consider a good housewife one of the most fundamentally important things of any household. Caring for a household, children, and having practical skills such as sewing, cooking, accounting, and other such skills traditionally associated with housewives are key to an orderly household. I would work as hard as I needed to in order support such a quality woman

I guess this is probably a troll thread though, because of all the dumb questions. But seriously, a good family is built by a strong man and a dutiful woman

Being a housewife is a respectable job but only if I can trust my wife not to leave the kids in front of the TV for 6+ hours a day while she sits on her ass. 14 years later I realize my kids are retards with no attention span, no skills, and no interesting qualities whatsoever.

A good housewife puts the future of the children before her own convenience. While I'm at work, she should be exposing them to the world or teaching them knowledge or skills. Don't just leave it to the schools because the teacher was most likely some dilettante in school themselves and took early childhood education as a job since it's an easy degree and probably said things like, "This math class is soooo pointless when will I ever need this?" and is now teaching your child math. Besides that, they're required to cater to the lowest common denominator of students, and if your wife isn't doing a proper job at home, chances are your kid may be the lowest common denominator.

So yes, being a housewife is a valid occupation, the only difference being that if you try and fire her for doing a bad job, chances are she takes the business with her when she goes.

Why only in 30+ years?

>>35267
Not a troll thread just socially awkward and dumb humor.

>Caring for a household,
Explain.
>children,
Would rather adopt war orphans.
>and having practical skills such as sewing,
Check.
>cooking,
Check.
>accounting,
Boring.
>and other such skills traditionally associated with housewives are key to an orderly household.
What is so wrong with nontraditional housewives?

Maybe there is something a housewife could do to make a successful husbando even more successful, like a support class helping the tank.

Education is fun. I think development and learning psychology is so awesome. A psychology or BSc degree is a good thing to have as a housewife?

>>35551
No, that's only good for the first 6 years or so. When it's older, your kid will probably realize he's being psych strung by his own mother and will become distrustful of her. Just marry a teacher and have your kid go to the school she teaches at. That way they have similar schedules and she can be sure your kid's getting the education it deserves.

But really it doesn't matter what she does, as long as she values education and cultivation, she'll do the right thing

>>35161
>is being a housewife a valid occupation?
Yes
>If so how do I go about applying for the job?
Put on a short skirt and go to bars. Bring friends as to not appear desperate. Make sure those friends are less attractive than you.
>Is the training on-site or required before I consider the position?
Required, though hiring standards are rather low with exception of rapid improvement.
>What is the required skill set?
It's in the name: WIFE
Wash, Iron, Fuck, Etc.

Absolutely pig disgusting.

>>35732
>homeschooling
>producing a kid with zero social skills
>ensuring he'll never be working with other people

I'll admit he'll definitely learn more, but you're dooming him to have none of the experiences that adults are expected to have by the time they enter the world.

>>35732
A proper parent sends their kids to public school for socialization and handles the meat of the education at home.

Uneducated parents = uneducated children. Just keep that in mind before you go puttin' your penis in a vagina.

>>35775
Isn't that what college and prep school are for?

>Be homeschooled
>Every one of my sisters and I were considered the most social and talkative children during our youth at any family gathering or friends sleepover we had
>Fast forward 10 years
>My first job is as a vacuum salesman and then a telemarketer
>My sisters are both social butterflies
>My face when I hear people cry about m-muh social interaction against homeschooling

What the fuck ever, dude. Apparently when people say 'homeschooling,' what everyone actually hears is 'their kids are locked in a wine cellar until they're 20'

How come anons automatically equate being a wife with being the mother of your demon spawn?

>>35834
People should begin learning socialization skills at age 4-6, not wait until 20. If you need evidence of what happens when they wait until 20, note where you are in your browser's url bar.

>It didn't happen to me, so it never happens to anyone.

This is what happens when you don't have proper social skills.

>>35732
>>35775
Good plan to send kids to a place where they learn that knowing things makes you a loser.

>>35869

>Appealing to an invisible majority

This is what happens when you go to public school

If you just want someone to clean your house then a maid is a lot cheaper.

>relying on family members to give you honest criticism
>thinking being a customer service rep equates to social skills
Jesus Christ.

>>35847
There was a homeschooled family in my town. They all wore khaki pants and dresses, had home haircuts and werent allowed to speak when their parents were talking.

So yeah, count your lucky stars

>>35775
>Public school
>Dumping your child into a lawless jungle to be attacked by barely-sentient apes
>Leaving your child to be brainwashed into believing authority is truth and truth is authority
>Ensuring that he'll associate individuality with hatred and deviation from the mean with punishment
>Sacrificing your child on the altar of propaganda, letting him/her die and producing Obedient Worker #608559

I'll admit he'll definitely fit in better, but look at the world around you. Is fitting in with that really something you would wish on anyone you love?

>>35895
>thinking being a customer service rep equates to social skills

>People who sell things to people for a living would never develop the social intelligence needed to sell them things better.

Yeah alright.

>>35886
That doesn't mean you have to do it like that, does it?

>>35871
Don't be retarded. As long as your kid is in good shape, which he should be if your wife is getting him exercise and not feeding him McDonald's 3x a week, he'll be fine. That's all that matters at a young and by the time he's older, he'll have the social skills to deal with whatever criticism he gets for his education, which is really just something that socially incapable losers tell themselves when trying to figure out why they have no friends.

The most popular kids in every school I've gone too have also been at the top of the class.

>>35917
>implying the skills you use to sell things to customers are the same skills you use to talk to friends

>>35847
Would have much preferred to have been homeschooled than having been sent to an all-boys Catholic high school.

Unfortunately, my parents are uneducated.

First year of uni was awkward, but things got better. Depends how much of a social retard you are, how aware of that fact you are, and how willing you are to work on it.

>>35917
Learning to manipulate people is not a proper social skill. Finding weaknesses and exploiting them is the basic core of any sales job. That's not socialization.

Empathy, compassion, relating to a diverse group, social grace, and cordiality. Those are social skills. You have none.

>>35916
Who said anything about public school?

>>35924
>The most popular kids in every school I've gone too have also been at the top of the class.
I don't think that's a common experience.

>>35972
Unless you went to some inner city public school, it is, I assure you. The conception that smart people are ostracized nerds is a movie stereotype.

>>35940

So listening skills, confidence, and social grace are unrelated to social interaction?

Yeah, alright.

>>35947

Do you actually believe every salesman is some sadistic used car salesman or something? Seriously man, just from a common sense standpoint, all this underhanded bullshit you're accusing me of is just a good way to run yourself out of business. Build yourself a bad rep, and guess what? You stop getting customers. You would know this if you've even cleaned the shoes of a reputable businessman.

Good salesmen identify problems the customer has and solves them with his products. If they don't have a problem, well, you don't have a sale. If you can't demonstrate that they have a problem, (ie the social skills part) you don't have a sale. If you take advantage of them and piss them off, you don't get any *more* sales. That's all it boils down to

>>35454
>Why only in 30+ years?

Probably (not that guy) because 30+ years is how long it will take for your kids to grow up to where they can support themselves and be willing to support you as well, depending on how well you raised them.

>What is so wrong with nontraditional housewives?

What does a nontraditional housewife do? A traditional housewife to me is just a housewife.

>>36012
The fact that you're trying so hard to defend your honor on an anonymous website full of strangers is proof of your lack of social skills. Sorry, bro.

>>36069

>I have no arguments to respond with, but I win because you replied

Well alright then. 4/10 b8 hooked me gud

>this derailment into institutionalized education vs homeschooling

>>36005
You seem to be naive about the world. My mother came from a good and educated family but had some stupid idea that common people were better than the rich. We went to public school in a sparsely populated area. The poor and below average intelligence children were the most popular. They were things like class clowns and rumored to be involved in sex and stealing from a very young age. They always got into fights and ranked popularity by who you beat up or how much of a slut you were.

When I went to middle school things were a little less screwed up. When I went to highschool it was like elementary again but with hormones.

It was only when I got to college that intelligence was positively correlated with popularity.

My requirements of a trophy wife:
>not a retard
>can tutor well
>stimulate learning
>forces the kids to play outside often
>cook, clean, etc
>tight vagine
>can suck a mean dick

>>36136
This argument is going no where since were both trying to prove our point with anecdotal evidence so lets just stop here.

I can't believe I just read that on 4chan. /biz/ is already shaping up to be BOTY.

You fail to notice the glaring flaw in your argument in that not everyone has sisters who are social butterflies

Sometimes I feel like being right is so lonely that being wrong like everyone else would be better.

Back on topic: You need these skills
>Cooking
>Cleaning
>Even Temperament
>Empathetic and caring nature
>Patience
>Desire and ability to educate your children
I think one of the most important skills is patience. These are just my opinions, though.

>>37543
What if you can't have or don't want children?

All this talk about future offspring and I'm wondering if this is really 4chan I'm on.

>>37662
Then you get fired or made redundant.

>>37662
Having a wife without kids is hardly different than having a roommate that you fuck.
