*Mr. Fluffyslippers having small talk about life stuff with his colleagues
Some woman: What does your fiancee want to do after you have your first child? She can go back to her career, right?
Mr. Fluffyslippers: Actually, she wants to leave her current role and raise the baby. She's always wanted to be a housewife and stay at home mother, and luckily we are in a position to be able to do that.
Woman: disgusted face What? She's just going to let go of her career? What a waste. She will get so bored at home. She just doesn't know it yet, mark my words.
... deep breaths. Deeeeeep breaths.
This sounds like my wife's work colleagues when she told them she was only going to do one to two days a week work...
"You'll get bored and be back next semester..."
"I'm so jealous, it would be good to have a husband who doesn't need you to work."
"We'll see how long you play housewife before you get the shits with it and come back."
"Might as well just throw your Uni degrees in with the washing...what a waste."
She came home in tears that week she made the decision to only do casual days. How quickly they turned on her when she didn't want to be part of the horde. She now knows it's jealousy and resentment for the fact she gets to choose what she want's to do with her time. There is more satisfaction for her in looking after the home and focusing on herself.
