    I think that if that's what she wants to do...then more power to her. Who says that you need to have a child in order to want to make a home for your husband?

    My take is what ever works for them as a couple. I have no idea what society as a whole things of them. I hope they are as indifferent to them as I am.
    I comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.

    In my grandmother's time, a stay at home wife with or without children was considered NORMAL. Nowadays, society sees women who stay at home, with our without children, as ABNORMAL. Quite sad, really that people view things this way now. The same people who see nothing wrong with someone hiring a live at home nanny, maid, or nurse to take care of their household needs.

    I think its up to the husband and wife really...whatever makes them happy! As for society...if someone wants to stay home and take care of their spouse and clean up their own house, its no one else's business.

    I personally have no problems with it as long as it is viable for the couple. I say this because I plan to be a childless female... I don't want my own children... I'll let my siblings have them.

    I agree with most. If it is affordable, and possible for a childless couple to get by with only one income, I don't see a problem with it. If for some reason they lack the financial stability that two incomes provide, the stay-at-home spouse/significant other, can work from home. There are countless opportunities now.

    Is there much difference between a childless homemaker and a homemaker whose kids are at school all day?

    Besides the fact that the childless one is childLESS. The home-maker with children will be schedulling drop off/pick up from school and all the other activities associated with the child. If the child doesn't do much except have friends over or play on the computer.. there is the supervision and feeding of that child.

    In my opinion, not having a child allows the childless home-maker to concentrate her energies on the home itself (if it needs much 'work&#039 and other activities like volunteer-ing.

    Children can take up more time and require more attention that you realise... esp. when they are young. Teenagers require a little less however still are a handful.

    I could easily be quite happy as a childless homemaker.
