It's the way she has always wanted to live...so I guess you can't fault her.

What do you think of going “back in time” and becoming a housewife?  Would you want to live like June Cleaver?

Do you think the 1950s were a less stressful time for women?  Hmmmmmm....

Well, one woman did it.

Katrina Holte, who is 30, decided she wanted to quit her payroll job to become a housewife, her husband, Lars (he's 28), whom she’s been married to for three years, had no problem with it.   What guy would if you were financially set

She took it a little further, however, by turning into a 1950s housewife. Holte says she gets up at 6 am to make her husband’s breakfast and lunch before seeing him off to work.

She then exercises “lightly” for 10-15 minutes daily.   Doesn't sound too bad really?

She has been a seamstress for 10 years, so she sews her own dresses and aprons, she cooks, irons and keeps her home spotless. She says she’s “living how I always wanted.”

I pretty much do this everyday....AND  work a full-time job.

She even looks like June....

Would you quit your job if you could to stay home and cook and clean and tend to your husband all day?

I might consider it.
