Guys, how would you feel if your woman told you she wanted to be a stay-at-home mom? (Page 2)

Question

I would love to be able to be a stay-at-home mom; even if it’s only for a season. I talked to a guy recently and he quoted this: “I would make my future wife work outside the home because I would want her to have a purpose”. I immediately disagreed with what he said and I even told him. Now, I personally would like to work at some point in my life, but I think women who choose to raise their kids for a living have a wonderful purpose in life. Do you agree or disagree with his statement?

That is very rare and very appreciated by the right guys. I prefer traditional family over the modern emancipated one where both work and children are at kindergarden. Woman looks after household, raise the kids and make house into home. That is not something I would force, but if a girl chooses this, I would very much support her.

Larry30 · Answer

I would love this! I do not want anyone to be raising my children. The woman is Queen and rules the roost. I can't imagine anyone getting bored with running a household. If you think you would then you know nothing about it. She is an entrepreneur in this world of slaves to the Corporations.

I think it would be better to have two incomes just in general because things can happen. I could die or get sick, we could have a severely disabled child or a terminally Ill one and they require expensive care. What can she alone do for our children without work if anything happens?

MysteriousDarkness · Answer

I would be shocked to begin with if my girlfriendsaid she wanted to be a stay at home mom. The reason is becsuse she has a career as a radiology tech. She will be 51 next month and has a son who will be 27 in September. On top of that we will be together for 8 years in September and I don't want any kids and she doesn't want any more. There is also a very slim possibility of her having another child.

Finchie40 · Answer

I’d be fine with it as long as she knew how to budget money and wasn’t a over spender

Wiredone · Answer

My wife is a stay at home mom. It doesn't bother me. I make enough to support my family, always have. Yes it's rough sometimes but I know she took great care of our kids.
I don't agree with his statement. I do however agree with your reply to him.

bowenw · Answer

I would support her decision to be a stay at home mom. We may have to eat a lot of macaroni and cheese, but I'm sure we could make it work.

ArztSchlachthof · Answer

I completely agree with your statement. It might be a bit too tiring for those women, but if they are okay with that, it'd be wonderful for the child. You have a grand purpose that will survive you, there is nothing wrong with that.

BCRanger10 · Answer

My wife and I would prefer that to be the case for us. We are working towards it.

Bilal_Zahir · Answer

I totaly disagree with the guy. Because women is naturaly born as nurturing, caring and educating human being for next generation... the outside world beyond the walls of home makes her more musculine ratherthan sensitive.

JoeyRock · Answer

If that's her real vocation I don't see the harm in it. God knows how badly I keep my own place. I just wouldn't want to feel like I'm pushing all the housework on her. I can still cook, clean and whatnot if I have free time.

DWornock · Answer

I would prefer to have a wife that is a stay-at-home mom. That way, she can home school the children and give them a far superior education, better socialization, and avoid much of the false propaganda.

Open2It · Answer

In today's society, two incomes are almost a necessity to run a household and plan for the future. That said, I grew up with my mom always at home and loved it.

If my income was substantial for us to live comfortably, I have no problem... as long as the house stayed clean, chores were done, meals prepared on time and kids well taken care of. It shouldn't just be a free ride while I supply the means.

ToastyOats · Answer

Unless your homeschooling then no deals. It would also be nice if you guys could grow a garden and keep up with the housework. If your just dropping the kids off at school and spending the rest of the day lounging around the house, No Deals!

tartaarsaus · Answer

Dissatisfied. A single income in a household makes life far more difficult both in the immediate and long term.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I would be worried that over time her mind gets dull and single sided.
I'd wish for her to have an exciting, challenging and intellectually inspirational life.

Most ''stay-at-home'' people don't have that.

gymjerk · Answer

Kids and how they turn out matter more than
1. Extra second income
2. The privilege of paying higher taxes
3. A “good” nanny
4. What modern idiots say about stay at home moms.
I would be thrilled!

MotorcycleMan · Answer

You could argue that raising your kids is a much higher purpose in life that making a few more bucks. It's all about balance and what works for you, but yeah, I disagree with his statement.

Friendlybro79 · Answer

I feel like this is up to each couple. The unfortunate reality is much of the United States is difficult to get by on one salary. In a perfect world one parent should be home raising the kids not a paid stranger.

Mangospacho · Answer

I would immediately tell her yes and then have wild unprotected sex and then immediately after send her boss a resignation text.

BeachLuvR97 · Answer

I completely agree. Like raising the next generation is not the most honorable profession? What a loser of a guy.

Feelicks · Answer

It's normal and reasonable. I'd say keep the house clean, cook dinner on time and make sure you're down to fuck and we're good.

What's the point of jobs and money if not for collecting and impregnating pet females?

Ronald_25 · Answer

I agree with that statement, I think it's the woman's choice to be a stay at home mom equally as it's the guy's choice to be a stay at home dad. I plan to have 4 children so my wife may want to be a stay at home mum anyway 🤷🏽‍♂️😄

Pete671 · Answer

I's support her, but make sure she has plenty of social interaction during the day, I'd worry about her feeling isolated otherwise,,,

Carson_3 · Answer

My wife is a stay-at-home mom and we wouldn’t have it any other way! Puts a burden financially sometimes but all in all, it’s amazing!

Omario2049 · Answer

Fine by me as long she has the right attitude and attribute for it. She'll never hear me come home mumbling about being the only one that works around here like some simpering men do😤

Avicenna · Answer

If we have kids together and we can afford it, I'd be happy to have that sort of arrangement. Otherwise, no.

Maniwishiwashome · Answer

I would support my wife being a stay at home I could financially manage it, we have to be honest about expectations beforehand though.

Miristheiss · Answer

Well, if we were having kids... if this was just going to last until the kid/kids were in school then that would be good.  If we have no kids... if they are in school... go to work.

kamalravi25 · Answer

Its your choice. But suppose u love a person who has a less income and is struggling to keep u happy. Then if u have kids u will have to start earning too to ease his stressful life.
A happy husband will make a happy family.
