From Homeliving Helper on the joy of homemaking:

Homemakers are often described by career women as Stepford wives, as someone put it “popping out children and being subservient to their husbands”. Feminist career women get all upset when someone even hints that may be, women belong at home, yet they consider it normal to insult their fellow women who are often intelligent, hard working wives and mothers.

I really don’t understand the logic which says that women are freed by earning paycheck which often means being stuck in the office for an x amount of hours, operating the cash register the whole day in a busy local supermarket or being a day care worker earning a minimum wage.

It seems that if a woman cleans her own house and takes care of her own children, it somehow makes her brainless, and a slave, but if she works for a cleaning agency, or takes care of someone else’s children, and has to please her employers the whole day, it makes her empowered, liberated and happy.

People must have had really bad experiences in their own homes when they were children if they equal staying home to being in some sort of prison. Home should be the happiest place, a small Paradise on Earth, full of joy and laughter; where the woman is not a servant or slave, but The Queen, admired and respected by her children and husband.
