I actually thought that Polgara's wanting to be a housewife made sense for her? She spent SO, SO long helping other people raise families and never got to have one of her own, so finally, when she got to, she was so happy. It's not a dream I would have for myself, but I honestly liked that Polgara was so happy with what she'd dreamed of, making soap and doing dishes and gardening and all.

The raising a family part? No problem. The do all the drudgery by hand part? That's a problem. Why do all of that if you want to spend time with your kids and husband? If she'd been all "magic will take care of the gross and boring parts, I can spend time with the kids and in the garden with Durnik," I would have been vaguely bored by okay with that. But no.

And Leigh Eddings is old enough to know how much work all of that stuff was, and how much of it falls on women.

This. I fully support a woman's right to stay at home and be a housewife if it's what she wants, but the way it was written in the books... I don't know, it didn't sit right with me. I don't really see the point in glorifying housework, and I AM a housewife. I want to spend time with my family, not be up to my elbows scrubbing dirty underwear in a tub, and I look askance at people who try to romanticize that sort of work. It's honest, hard work and sometimes it needs to be done, but come on, let's not act like it's the stuff dreams are made of.
