Is it wrong?
I truly enjoy being home by myself and working on my house and lawn on my own schedule. I'm enjoying not having a job, see no need to be forcing myself to join and participate in all sorts of organizations, and my dh is content with letting me do my own thing. He and I are getting along much better since I decided to reclaim the title of "housewife" as much as that title makes me cringe.
My mother and oldest dd are worried that I'm too much of a hermit and keep on me about how unhealthy it is. I'm not depressed, I'm not afraid to go out, I talk to friends and family several times a week, and have many online friends I keep in touch with as well. As far as I'm concerned, this is the life I choose. To hear them tell it, I'm in denial and they're only trying to save me from myself. So if I'm content, is it wrong to live as I do? Would I somehow be "better" if I force myself to do things I have no interest in doing and give up my own desires? Why can't they see that I'm just wired differently than they are?
