I don't get it. What kind of reward for the husband is the fact that she socializes with her friends?
- jrace 5y agoHis reward is " a level of adoration" which she awards to him for enabling her to socialize.
- fishtacos 5y agoHappy wife.
- OJFord 5y agoWrong conjunct binding - not: > reward (for his bringing in the money she used to look after their children) and [that she] socialize[d] with her friends. (err.. or something, not sure exactly how you read it) but: > reward for his bringing in the money she used to (look after their children and socialize with her friends).
- gremloni 5y agoThis really is a perfect setup for both men and women. We need to fully return to this paradigm.
- bamboozled 5y agoI don't know if you're serious but I do think that it might be better if one of the two stays home and does shit. It just seems simpler. Not saying it has to be a women, but it's ultra stressful when both people are working full-time, especially if one or both partners aren't open to the idea of hiring cleaners etc. Where is the leisure time?
- gremloni 5y agoI’m being completely serious and it should mostly be the women at home.
- recursive 5y agoYou didn't even mention kids, which adds a new dimension of stress.
- tlear 5y agoYou basically have 3 choices then: 1. Hire a full time nanny 2. Have grandparents act as 1 3. Go fucking mental
- gremloni 5y agoStop your wife from working and do what she’s meant to do.
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoIn this way you basically destroy her professional career, make her 100% dependable on you financially and severely impair her life choices. Who would like to live a life like that today?
- gremloni 5y agoPeople that don’t care about a career, get fulfillment from raising children and running a happy household.
- tlear 5y agoYes. I meant if you do not do that.

- yosamino 5y agoIt's keeping the family part of the community. One can think of it as the actual social network. Through friendly interactions with the other housewife's around, relevant knowledge about the going on in the community is shared. It helps with finding reliable tradespeople and doctors and other things of this nature. And just from an empathic point of view: If I was a worker who was away from home 12 hours a day, I would want for my partner to have a good life with happyness and joy while I am away. Of course it's better to come home to a person who feels she is living a fulfilled life, rather than someone who has been lonley the whole day. Makes you feel as if the long hours are actually making a difference.
