Liberated?

I saw a video of a five year old girl on the news today. Ordinarily this would be cute except for what she was saying.

Someone had obviously coached this little girl into the "liberated" modern woman mindset. It's so sad! This little girl was saying," I WON'T GET MARRIED UNTIL I HAVE A JOB, AND IF THIS GUY WON'T CARE ABOUT THAT, THEN I'LL JUST FIND ANOTHER ONE!" Can you just hear the venom in her voice? Someone so young shouldn't be saying things like this.

Yes, I had a job before I got married, but we both knew that was going to change after. I felt, and so did my husband, that if we could afford to be a one income household then we would be. Thankfully we are not "stuff people", and we manage our money together, so we are able to be.

I have been criticized for feeling that my place was at home, but I am content with our "antiquated" roles. I truly enjoy being the housewife, and my husband feels that he is doing his job as a provider. And when you are both fulfilled in your work and lifestyle...its all good!. If I wanted a job he wouldn't mind, but I have other priorities...like three handsome men! They need me right where I am! I don't feel repressed, or like I've lost my Independance. I am, as one military wife put it, a "domestic queen"....and I love my kingdom!

I pray this little girl can get past the coaching she has ,obviously, been given and make her own decision. And I also hope that you all find your niche...even if its behind your own front door!
