Homemaker
 Homemaker ... in terms of activities, rather than relation to another, and is independent of marital status. The terms (informal) stay-at-home mom and stay-at-home dad are also used, particularly if the person views their central role as caring for children. Traditionally the role of "homemaker" has been filled predominantly by women. Even to this day, homemaking is perceived by most societies as the "natural" role for women. In recent years there has been some political and societal backlash against feminist criticism on traditional roles for women. This backlash may be attributed to the recent decades' progress of the feminist movement and its implications on society, and may be compared to the backlash that took place in post II World War America. The backlash could be seen, at least in part, in both the increasing prominence of "professional" homemakers such as Martha Stewart, and a rise in religious conservatism which views traditional roles as being conducive to the stability of the traditional family unit and the people therein. However, homemaking is not always a lifetime commitment: many homemakers, for economic or personal reasons, return to the workplaceNewest Review: ... first steps, first words and all the other milestones was worth more than any amount of money.

GOVERNMENT SUPPORT Before anyone gets upset about this review, let me emphasise that I realise a lot of people have no choice on whether they stay at home instead of having a job. Some of us actually prefer being homemakers, but this should not happen if the government has to support us financially in this role. The government are now saying that single parents should go out to work when their youngest child reaches 12 years of age. I don't think this is unreasonable. It is all about choice for the individual. Unfortunately there will be the inevitable abusers of this system, who will keep breeding and they will be better ... Read the complete review

I know this one might provoke some controversery, so please remember this is an OPINION. When I was a little girl of about four or five, I can recall this being the time when like most children, I looked about myself and first consciously thought about what I wanted to be when I grew up. Being that it was 1973-75, most will assume this meant I had very limited prospects as a female. This is not so! Women had burnt the bra years before and declared themselves free to be whatever they wanted. Women were in the armed forces, entering law practices, becoming surgeons, you name it. Many women were happy to be liberated from the role of housewifery, but there was ... Read the complete review
