The writer, from Norfolk, plays the role of home-maker while husband Patrick goes out to work.
She said: “Being called a housewife is not old-fashioned – it’s a badge of honour.
“The beauty of the modern world we live in is that we as women now have the choice.
“Being a housewife is still a very important role in a lot of households, and if it is their choice and what works best for their family, then surely it is the right choice.
“My husband and I made the decision together that when our daughter was born in 2014 that I would leave employment and become a full-time mother and housewife.
“It suited us financially as my wages at that time would have paid for only childcare, plus it suited us personally too. I didn’t want anybody else looking after Savannah or teaching her things, I wanted to do it all.
“I feel blessed being a housewife, that I have made all of those memories and done so much with her.
“I have friends who had no choice but to return to work after having a baby and we have had countless conversations about special events they have been unable to attend, or that they simply feel they have missed out on spending precious time with their children.
“I will always be proud to have been a housewife, and whatever path my career takes next, nothing will ever change that.
“I have cherished the four years I have spent at home bringing up my daughter and am proud of the young lady she has become because of my hard work.”
