Homeyji, 

You're going around in circles and I don't really wish to continue this discussion anymore. You come across as a "women should only be confined to doing domestic chores" type while I'm more of a liberal type. 

Like I've aforementioned several times, doing household chores isn't an easy task and I didn't intend to imply that a wife shouldn't be satisfied by leading the life of a housewife but rather, if a woman has qualities to perform her roles in a bigger, wider picture, she should pursue it. 

I don't know where you got this idea of "my mother didn't raise me as well as yours did". Please stop putting words into my mouth. I never hinted anything remotely close to that. 

Imagine Mother Teresa, Anuradha Koirala and Malvika Subba leading the lives as "home economists". The world wouldn't be the same if they were to do it. 

Again, I've already stated my wish - If my wife were talented and skilled, I'd be disappointed if her role in "our" lives were limited to her cooking delicious meals, doing laundary, taking care of kids and doing grocery. Housewife is a thankless job that requires a lot of discipline and dedication but if she had traits to serve her life in a more meaningful purpose, I'd highly encourage her to do it and I'd feel really happy about it. 

Have a nice day.
