I can see some aspects of what she meant, but to me she was more a surrendered wife that a domestic goddess. One can be a domestic goddess without being under her husbands "rule". If she's a domestic goddess because she wants to great, but when I hear things like "he expects dinner on the table when he gets home" then I lose respect... A woman (or man for that matter) does not NEED to be oppressed in order to be a good wife or a good mother. If she enjoys it great scream it from the rafters, I do, but you know what if I'm sick or having a bad day I know my husband will not come home demanding silver service, instead he'll get in there and help. We do not have gender specific jobs. I do the majority yes, and I enjoy it but if I need him to hang up some washing or vacuum its not below him.

I do agree that women do put on all the pressure. But I think men can do this too. I don't need to be a martyr but be damned if I'll let my husband be one either, and we both have our moments

What I hate about shows like this is once again it puts one side off against the other. I have friends who work and are great domestic goddesses just as I know SAHM's who openly admit they are far from domestic bliss and couldn't give a rats. Celebrate what you love, no matter what you do You are all wonderful mothers, wives and people

As for me I like the 1950's housewife/stepford wife image minus the oppressive crap And I'll wear an apron and fix my husband a martini when he gets home. But he believes there is no such thing as "women's work", but he also believes that what I do is harder than what he does, its just my job pays in a different currency but is no less valid.
