Seems accurate, lol.

Unfortunately I’m of an age where University became sort of obligatory (at least, where I live), so none of my cousins are like your happy one. Not a single one.

In fact, I hardly know anyone like that (although a couple of girls I went to school with may end up that way), but I can only imagine she’s probably happier and healthier than any of the rest.

Contrastingly, though, my mother slowly stopped work, in my teen years (only child), and never really got back into it. But she’s just lazy, deeply unhappy and unhealthy. She doesn’t travel. She doesn’t really go out. She doesn’t do the housework (depressingly, they usually either hire people, or, when I’m around, I do it).

So unfortunately “choosing to live off your husband’s largesse” (because I don’t think I would class her as a housewife, really) doesn’t always work out for the best, lol…

Then again, to go from practicing physician to essentially largely unemployed…. Suggests there is more going on there, obviously. Quite the opposite of your cousin, lol!
