Sure, a goodly number of American women are that way. But after all, being a wife and mother is a woman's job, and the woman usually wants to get paid well. Beyond a certain point, living on "love" (even if it's out of a catalogue) just isn't enough.
But it's so convenient for you (and other folks) to ignore the second part of what I sarcastically said... that somehow all these little foreign honeys are NOT money-grubbing and greedy... when the truth is that for a lot of them, marrying an American man is their version of hitting the jackpot.
We have a friend who married an Argentinian woman roughly half his age... he went from having a nice nest egg to getting deeper in debt every year, courtesy of his nasty little foreign wife.
My point, for those of you who might be too dense to get it otherwise, is that marrying a foreign woman is no guarantee that your marriage won't turn sour. Don't imagine, just because she's not American, that she will always be grateful that you "rescued" her from her Third World hellhole.
In other words, think with the big head as well as with the little one. And don't ignore the warning signs!
Good point, and well made actually.
I wouldn't be happy if I had to support a capable adult. 'Wife' isn't a real job and neither is 'mother' for that matter.
