mad at the feminist zeitgeist rn

.@selentelechia was making a delicious Stew and just talking about how much she loved cooking

and kind of segued into a discussion of how much she liked tidying and taking care of kids

and then a really excited and unprompted "Yeah! I wanna be your housewife! YEAH!"

and IM mad because you know what *I* like that idea too!

no one else in the world would do a better job of taking care of our kids than she will, and this is the thing that matters most to me in the next thirty years of my life

I mean what if we didn't even HAVE to deal with child prisons?

And I'm partly Mad that she was made to feel bad about wanting what she wanted but I have already explored this sentiment before

What was new was that what the hell it didn't occur to *me* as a possibility even a bit

But it's probably the best fit for the life I want to make

Stupidly necessary caveats

1. I 10000% support @selentelechia in working as much as she wants in the future and it is completely up to her

2. Wanting to work as a mom is Extremely good and valid and important. My mom worked herself almost to death and I love her for it.

3. We're in a relatively privileged position in that this is even an option for us.

3a. . . . and I kind of wish it were an option for more people and that policy supported it.

Anyway I'm going to eat STEW that my FIANCEE made
