You really need a fourth option. There are many more lifestyles than, one person is the breadwinner and the other stays at home. I don't think that it's ok for either parent to stay at home, regardless of gender. Both need to be out making a difference in the world and earning their right to stay alive.
Dude I am one... kind of. I work only what my job will give me around my kids school hours. My SO is a private care nurse so she rakes in the big money. I do all of your typical "Housewife" stuff as well as anything that a man is typically supposed to do around the house. I love it!
I prefer both people to contribute. I don't plan on kids, but with them the circumstances woukd change.
Just as long as the wife can come home after a long day, throw her ass into a couch and yell for a beer! I think it’s a great option! 👍🏼 Lol 😂
They are excellent for men who want to get divorced or cheated on. Very few women can bring themselves to respect a man who isn't at bare minimum earning a decent wage. Now if she's supporting you... good luck. Hope she didn't make you sign a pre nup.
Whatever floats your boat, I don't see a difference between a man or a woman staying home. I know I wouldn't want to be a stay at home parent, I've worked my entire adult life to have a good career, I'm not about to give that up to spend my days changing nappies.
It's wrong. The man is suppose to go out get a job and provide for the family, not stay at home.
Besides, it makes the man look like a punk and not manly.
Is it wrong because the bible says so?
@Dog19: It clearly says a man is suppose to provide for his household not sit his butt at home all day.
What do you think of a single, 43 year old man with no kids, no wife and he loves to watch cartoons
What if she makes significantly more money then you would it still make sense for her to be the stay at home
@That1tallguy: Regardless, a man should go out and grind and still provide.
That's just financially irresponsible
what about traps
I'd love to stay at home taking caring of my family.. It doesn't mean im not interested to work.. I would like to work from home for less hours, earning enough money to provide financial support for my family and also it's easy to handle other things..
I think you can never say, "never." I was in management, she was in health care. A number of things happened and we had a decision to make. I now do investments and other things while she is more structured. We do fine financially, but I'd prefer our roles reversed. Did we make the right choice years ago? I don't know. We're pretty pregnant with it now and we make it work, but if I could go back it time I might try for a different outcome.
In general men are better at being the breadwinner and women take better care of kids and the home, don't know why people wanna change that
Well that's super sexist. On both males and females. Do tell, what makes you think that? What do women not work? And can men not stay at home? Why would you ever suggest something like that?
@Stellastarling She might be a catfish and really a piss off an elderly man
@ModernGuy Not necessarily. You cannot expect everyone to be liberal and open minded. Some people are more conservative than others.
Wow.. you know, you could disagree with someone without insulting them.
I'm not saying they can't, I'm just giving my opinion on a question.
We are raised by those standards and maybe it's a bit biological too, I don't know.
But everyone does what makes them happy
I wouldn't mind if the man actually did something like fix the house, cars, clean, cook... No, every man I get quits their job and expects me to do everything. As long as they are contributing I wouldn't care but that is never the case.
I don't see nothing wrong with it but most guys rather work and the woman stay at home and take care of the kids etc. If the guy don't work and take care of the family it makes them feel awful.
There's nothing wrong with it, women just statistically tend to grow resentful of and see that type of man as not pulling their weight, so most men don't like being in the position.
at the end of the day it's all about providing the best life and environment for the child, if the mother is able to bring in more money and has the better job then yes it makes sense and vice versa.
I don't believe in Stay at Home Dad's, I was raised that a man works to provide for his family and I believe that. If for some medical reason a man can't work that is a different story.
Yeah but you are not brought up in an ahe where men are made homless suicidal undateable and unfuckable because of feminist quotas and feminist strapontatorships.
I think families need to decide for themselves what works best for them. If the Dad staying at home and Mom being the breadwinner works for them that's great.
i think you are underestimating the work of a stay at home parent. its not like you just hang out. If you gave a disability you'd need help.
as for who does what, i would not divide it by sex.
I don't see it as a big deal, especially if the woman makes more money and money is really tight. I'd rather stay home for a while if I had children though, I think they are more precious than a job.
To me, both people should work and help at home. I wouldn't want him to stay at home just cooking cleaning and waiting for me and I couldn't live like that either.
I'd personally hate to be a housewife so I think it's good
