What Guys Said
I would respect her choice of course, stay-at-home women are extremely valuable, just like every other woman, they take care of your home and your kids, which demands a lot of work and dedication, they should be respected.
Some people scorn them, as if they were a bunch of freeloaders, ignore these people, some men (and women) see no problem in being the sole income of the household. Not everything is about money, your value as a person should not be attached to that.
But to be fair, women who work outside are looked down upon by some people also, so whatever you choose to do, some people will judge you for that, it's unavoidable.
You can be a stay at home mum. You just need to work hard for a while and the money you earn you then invest in something that earns you a living without having to work, could be a business or a house that pays rent.
There are also work from home jobs. It's harder to get back into work once you're out. So plan when you want children. It's not impossible and some couples do agree a stay at home parent but I've seen the negative effect on the children because the working parent had to work longer hours and theyd not see both parents whilst awake.
I agree with you 100%. There is no greater purpose than raising your children in the best environment possible, and having a mother who stays home and lets her kids know every day that they are the most important thing in her world is definitely the best thing for children.
I would love to have a wife who would stay home and take care of the children and home. in my opinion that is how it should be, if you can afford it.
I have nothing but the highest respect and admiration for women who put their family's needs before their own. It is the hardest job in the world, and the most important.
stay at home moms are the worker that built this country. Men went to work and women stayed home to raise the kids and their job was a lot harder. Not only did they raise the kids but cooked and cleaned and did the shopping too. I applaud any women who wants to be a stay at home mom. Today it is harder because things cost more but if you can I say go for it... I'll back you up...
I would have loved to have a traditional woman as a wife. Stick you your guns. You have all the options and leverage you can hope for, right now. Get the kind of man that can give you the life you want. Don't wait too long. Guys who are high value want young women to be mothers of their children, not older women. You are well positioned to get what you want out of life. Go for it!
Taking care and raising the kids is a full time job but when the kids are older I'd expect her to be earning money somehow and helping out.
I help cook and clean around the house so that's not enough for her to do once the kids are over 12.
My wife works so it's not been an issue.
I agree with the statement. I wouldn't have a problem with my fiancee wanting to be a SAHM, she's communicating with me about it. So long as we have that and we have a mapped out plan that makes sense, I'm for it.
That guy you mentioned, simply doesn't value staying at home with the kids, those 1st 5yrs of a child's life are extremely crucial.
After hacing the strong ambitious working wife, now ex, I can tell you better to have a home-based mom rasing the kids right, and often more cheaply than having a kid to pay for expensive daycare and all that junk.
Keep it simple, keep a real wife. A working wife that is has a real job or career is not a good mother. Something has to give.
A stay at home mom is pure gold.
Her timing would dictate my reaction. If, we both lived on the beach, and it took both of our incomes to maintain our beachfront townhouse, and maintain our standard of living, then she pulled that on me, I would listen to her reason. If it was anything other than medical condition or, genuine psychological condition then I'd do what I could to keep us at our "status quo". If, on the other hand, she said that her biological clock was ticking, and she had to quit her job. I'd tell her that she'd better get an internet job, be it as a medical transcriptionist, starting your own blog, something. The clock is ticking. h

I see you copied and pasted what pjf1958 said.
Simple, I just don't chose ones like that. I choose ones that want a career, AND a family. Right now, not so much the relationship/family thing, and it's good, because the one I am with is trying to figure out the "career" part, since COVID messed up a lot of things!
