Let's say that not all wives are enjoying their roles as wives. Are there any complaints that you murmur or any regrets in being a wife? Share your view everyone. Happy myLotting!

I'm a working mom of a five years old daughter. I teach at a school so I need to get up early everyday. Meanwhile my husband work later than me. I start my day at 7 am and he starts his day at 8.30 am. My daughter should go to school. So my husband will do some housechores such as get my daughter taking a bath, dress her up and take her to school. Meanwhile I only need to prepare myself to go to my school. But the duties are different in the afternoon. I work more than him. I cook, iron clothes and tidy the house. He just play games ir sometimes wash the clothes. The point is that we share the burden. My husband could be a mother for my daughter, by mean he is a 'wife'. So the role is not too far different between husband and wife. So no regret and complaint..Lol..

Hi humaraiku! Yes, dads can be moms too. My husband is also "the dad and the mom" of our son. I'm always away from them. I only go home on the weekends. He does my responsibilities at home and I'm proud of him. He's doing great. I'm thinking that if I'm going to take his place, he's incomparable to me. I admit that he's the best dad and mom as well in our son's world. Haha. I'm nothing compared to him. LOL. Happy mylotting.

I have to admit, when my 2 kids came, I have focused more on my role as a mother than of as a wife. But still, I see to it that I still show some care for my hubby. I think he understands my situation because we both are struggling to fulfil such responsibilities. We had our 2nd baby unexpected and had a very close gap with our eldest. That is why we adjusted so much to take care of the two who are still both babies to us. :)

That's great to hear. Yes, even if we are already moms, we still have to do our roles as a wife. We shouldn't neglect our husbands. Some are jealous husbands. LOL. Happy mylotting.

Take on the role as a wife. Sometimes it makes me complain, and I became not enjoy my role as a wife. At the beginning of the wedding, I really enjoy my role as a wife. But, when my household having problems, I was not able to enjoy my role as a wife. Now, I do not know if enjoyed it or not. Sometimes, I still complain, and feel tired. But, I try to do my best.

Yes, sometimes wives can't help complaining. There are some situations that they can't avoid. They are so stressed. I hope these situations will be reduced so that wives will enjoy their roles. Happy mylotting.

Yeah I don't always enjoy being a wife. I think the part that makes it unenjoyable for me is that my husband isn't appreciative. I work only six hours outside the house per week. The rest of the time I support living a very simple life. We only have one car which he uses to go to work.So my daughter and I are at home most of the day. He never offers to give me a break by offering to watch our daughter so I can do something outside of the house. He is disrespectful and says that I have no interest (he thinks that playing video games all day is an interest)-So that is his reason why he doesn't offer to watch our daughter. I have a lot of interest I just can't do a lot of them because I have a daughter and he's not willing to help with her or anything else for that matter. And he never wants me to drive anywhere because he always complains about the gas. He basically wants me to be stuck in the house all day.

Oh, my. I hope he will allow you to go out sometimes. It's ot good to be at home always. It's so boring. If you are working, that means you can afford to pay for your own gas. Maybe, he can lend you his car if you will buy your own gas. What do you think? Your husband is inconsiderate. My husband sometimes allows me to go out. Although he doesn't allow me sometimes, there are certain occasions that I can hang out with my friends or my sisters and mom. I only see my husband and son on weekends so sometimes I can't attend some parties or invitation because I have to spend time wit my hubby and son. I hope your husband will change for the better. Thanks for posting and enjoy mylotting.

Oh, your husband isn't that mature yet. He can't even babysit your daughter even for awhile. I hope he'll be more responsible in the future. You should share responsibilities and housework. :(

I agree staying at home all the time does get boring. I try to plan different activities for my daughter and I but it still equals out to be along day. It is very hard to stay inside all the time. I try to set aside a little money for gas but if he doesn't watch her then I can't go. My husband is very inconsiderate. Yeah I understand you staying home and spending time with your hubby and son since you are only home on the weekends.

Yes, we have different roles in our lives. Oh, maybe soon you'll have another role too and that's being a wife. I hope you'll enjoy it by then. Happy mylotting.

If a woman does not enjoy the roles that come along with being a wife, then she should not have gotten married. The subject of not enjoying this role is much different then the occasional complaint that invades every marriage. I have been married for over twenty years and I still enjoy all that comes with being a wife. Somethings not as much as others, but it is a wonderful job. No regrets here, but take note that it takes commitment, dedication, compromising and a lot of hard work to get to that point. It is not intended for the immature.

Wow, that's great to hear. You've been married for twenty years and no regrets. Your marriage is that successful! I hope all wives are like you. I guess you're a cool, loving wife. You're right. We need to be dedicated to our roles. If we don't commit ourselves and work hard, our relationships won't get that far. Thank you for commenting and happy mylotting.

I am a working mom and wife. I am enjoying everything second of it and I honestly don't have any regret. My family brings out the best in me though sometimes they also bring out the worst in me. I can't trade it with anything in this world.

Oh, that's good to hear. No regrets at all. I also don't have any regret. I just want to be a full-time wife and mom. I'm thankful that I am experiencing this role. Thanks to my husband for marrying me. Happy mylotting.

Women today are empowered ! Seldom only enjoy their roles as a wife , most love to work , to have a career and help augment family's income. Side by side being a wife , a career woman is her love as a mother. Most women are born to do multi tasking activities. Women are superwoman !

Oh, I agree with you. Some moms are already working so instead of being a full time housewife, they're just like part-time housewives. I guess they are enjoying working outside and at home. Happy mylotting.
