I’ve never understood the phenomenon of «stay-at-home girlfriends.» It’s one thing to be a stay-at-home mom who has a lot to do all day long for child rearing, but if you have no job and no kids, what are you doing all day? One might argue that cleaning and taking care of the household are reasons to stay home. Some might even say that if the couple can afford it, there’s nothing wrong with a boyfriend providing for his unemployed girlfriend, but I’m suspicious of both of those claims. Unless you’re living in a Daddy Warbucks-esque estate, cleaning a house or an apartment is not a full-time job. It can be done after work, before work, on the weekends, and so on. Paying the bills takes about 5 minutes, which doesn’t merit staying at home to accomplish. What are the modern-day «ladies who lunch» doing all day? Choosing a hat, I suppose.
