Full time housewife

I just got a mail from one of my office collegues. And educated, smart woman.

“Some of you may know this, nevertheless, I wanted to take a moment to let you know that I am leaving (…) after over 10 years of exciting work.

I have enjoyed my tenure here and I appreciate having had the opportunity to work with all of you. Thank you for the support, guidance, and encouragement provided to me during my time at (…). Even though I will miss my colleagues and the company, I am looking forward to this new challenge in life of being a full time housewife and a doting mother to my kids.”

I’m not judging it. I have learned, that for example arranged marriages happen to work often much better than love marriages. Even though the concept is unacceptable for most of us – firangis – here.

Same with this case – if a successful woman decides to go on maternal leave, that is usually for a limited period of time and in perspective – there’s always return to work. Those who stay as home as housewives usually come from different background and never really had a decent job or perspectives to get one. But here it’s a pretty often case.

I just don’t what will kids say about that
