When I lived at home, my dad was a pilot that was 7days on/7days off schedule. On the 7 days off, all he would do was sit around playing video games, and it really pissed me off! Changing the light bulb suddenly turned into a 3 person job because he was too lazy to go get the flashbulb himself and get the latter. And not to mention, whenever it was dinner time, he would come get me, and then when I was out in the kitchen he would tell me to get my brother, WHO WAS RIGHT NEXT TO MY ROOM. So to answer your question, I don't want a househusband because even though my dad was only part time, it annoyed the sh*t out of me. My guy has to do something or I will lose my mind.

I personally wouldn't because I get turned on by a man that is motivated to work and provide. But I've seen many househusbands and don't see the problem with it. If that is the way you wish to live then who is to judge you on it. I'm sure you can find a woman to take care of you and a family but you may not be able to be too picky and women can be really bitchy especially when given that role with so much power so if I were you I would really think about this and consider all the disadvantages you would be faced with...seriously...take it from me ... I am a woman..
My fiancee is a House Husband, I'm the one who goes to work, and for us it work perfect he takes my son to school picks him up and since theyre both males they have fun together.
I'm all for sharing an equal burden, and possibly even making that Feminist put her money where her mouth is...
But being a lazy f*** with no ambition that doesn't even chip in towards the most basic tasks is a complete waste of space. Who do you think you are?
And the culture of America has changed. Both parents are expected to work because that's the best way ends meet unless you were born with a silver spoon up your ass.

I'd be fine with it. However, in one of your comments, you mentioned that you won't clean the toilet? Are you only going to do a certain few things and expect her to do everything else when she gets home? You complain about wanting equality but only when it benefits you (gee, that sounds like what you guys say about feminists all of the time).
Dealing with screaming kids and scrubbing the toilets all day IS a full-time job, not what you're describing.
I don't want kids, but I would never support a man with my career ever. He has to support himself because I never relied on a man for that and never will. I don't know why men keep thinking women are lazy moochers who sit at home watching soap operas and eating bonbons all day.No. I plan to work and save for future children and I wouldn't feel safe if my husband didn't do that. He would also need to have ambition. The economy isn't so good at the moment.
I always say that I would hate to marry a lazy man. I myself will have time off work when heavily pregnant and on maternaty leave. I will be at home while they are young and make sure I can always be there when they get home from school. But in the mean time, I am going to work and save as much as I can so that I have money to help while I'm not working.
I expect my future husband to take the potential of children seriously as well, otherwise I wouldn't feel like the family would be safe.A man like that has no benefit to me or the kids. I might as well just either stay single and childless, or find a man who can pull his own weight. If you're going to be a househusband, you can't be watching TV all day. that house better be spotless, I better have a good dinner when I come home and the kids better be well taken care of (homework done, clean and tidy and well behaved). You don't want a wife, you want a caretaker. You can find a girl willing to do that, but she more than likely won't be very attractive. I know guys who live off women and they are all usually fugly
I would be willing to have a househusband but he can't really be that lazy. I mean if he kept up the house like I would myself and took care of the kids then that's fine, but not doing his part and making me do it when I come home from work is not okay. I wouldn't do that if I was a housewife so I expect the same.
i have no problem with you staying home& taking care of stuff. absolutely fine. its the lazy & I won't clean, part that is not acceptable. no.
u have to be trolling. to write you want to be a house husband, but you won't clean. what do you think people wh stay at home, do. they do EVERYTHING. its easy to take the work, for granted. But the work, it is not at al easy..How could you take care of the kids if you're too lazy to work? That's demanding, hard work that can take an emotional & physical toll if one is unprepared &/or doesn't get support.
Are you actually trying to say that stay-at-home parents are somehow lazy?Will you cook and clean while you stay in the house?
no because you'd hire a maid to do all the house work and waste my money
My 'forever alone' senses are tingling!
Why not make everything 50/50?
hell noooooo
You're a eunuch.
