Since househusbandry is yet another topic that people love to misunderstand, here is a disclaimer:
A self-employed person, a person who works from home, a person of a creative profession (writer, poet, painter, etc) who might not be making any money with his art just yet, a student, an unemployed person looking for work do not equal a housespouse. I’m talking very specifically about people who refuse to look for work and spend the greatest part of their time waiting for their working spouse to come home and coming up with inventive ways to spend that spouse’s money. People who have absolutely no professional or social ambitions or plans of their own.
