Why do I feel bad at being a home person?

I worked for 9 years in a job I really didnt like and last year got made redundant. Since then, my Husband has gone to earning an extremely good wage which more than pays for everything we need and more. I have been looking for part time work but there isnt anything and my Husband is happy for me to stay at home. When people ask me what i do, I feel embarressed, but why should I be? I'm doing home study courses to learn how to start a business with my Husband on top of the usual taking care of the house and money. I am 32, aim to have a kid in the next year or so, so, why does society make it seem that there is a problem with how i live my life? I'm starting to get peeved when people sneer at the fact that I am a homeperson, making out that I am some sort of loser or something when all I am doing is making a good home for my husband and learning skills of going into business with him?

1. Don't feel bad, do what makes you happy and don't mind what people think.
2. My mum stays home its not easy getting a job you shouldnt care what people think. its your choice not theres.
3. You should not feel bad, if you and your husband are happy in your situation then get on with it. The people that make you feel bad are the losers, it is probably jealousy on their part. Good luck to both of you, go and get things for the nursery and be well prepared for the birth of your baby. xxx
