I don't really care that much honestly, it would be up to her, but if she wasn't working I'd expect her to take on most of the chores, and I feel like some part of me would worry about her cheating if she stayed home, but I suppose that worry is there either way.
I am currently not working so I am home now days and I was in a relationship with a friend who doesn't like to stay at home she's constantly leaving To do what she wants to with out me no matter what I will say even if I asked her to stay she refuses and when she returns she expects to come in like she lives here or something and when I go looking for her people tell me she's with another guy an if I ask her about him she replys that I'm crazy an she doesn't know what I'm talking about an well as far as I am concerned no matter how much I want to care about her there isn't much I can do except either I become homeless and go with her and face living on the streets
I plan to work for most of my life but would want to take a few years off to raise my kids till they go to school. There is no way I am having babies and then have to drop my 6 month old baby at a daycare only to collect again at 6pm. It is too much and I want to be a involved mom who can raise my kids and not have someone else to it for me. There is nothing wrong with wanting to work and have kids but for me, I know I will be miserable if I have to work a 8-5 job and raise small children.
My thoughts on this are. I would want my wife. To feel nno need for her to go to work. Money shouldn't be a part of the decission. I think, if she wants to work. That would be fine. I just don't want her to feel she has to go to work. To allow us to obtain the things we would like to have in our lives
I would love to have kids (2 at most) and I'd love to do the little 'Mum' things like cook nice meals and keep the house tidy. But I don't see why I can't also work. I don't want my partner to be my complete and utter financial support. I want to contribute and I want to enjoy a rewarding career. I can't imagine many women would be happy having no purpose but to be a mother and a wife. I personally think there are many more things I want out of life.
Don’t say you wouldn’t be contributing. A mother taking care of the household is the most important job out there. Just look at the women during ww1 and ww2 who took the positions men use to work in while they were out fighting. Women defended the household.
Obviously? Who doesn’t want to sit at home and online shop and not even have to pay for that? Sign me the fuck up. I don’t know who thought it was a brilliant idea to tell men we could do the things they do just fine bitch shut up that was our secret.
Stay at home dads are a joke. Go ahead and yell at me for this opinion but I don't care, a stay at home dad is the most emasculated thing I can imagine. Nothing less manly.
I'm a full-time single parent and I work full time. If I could somehow make my salary and stay home with my son (at least in the Summer when he's off), I would.
Right, a real man beats the shit out of his kids and abandons them!! Huzzah for masculinity! Seriously dude, a man with kids is just as much of a parent as a woman with kids. Parenting is neither feminine nor masculine. A dad who stays at home with the kids is just doing his job as a parent, it's not at all different from a woman staying at home with the kids.
@Raymond_Reddington@ChaseParker No, that would be a bathroom plunger in the balloon knot. I'm sure you're familiar with the receiving/catching position...
@zaraparis Okay so a woman that sits on her ass is a real woman? Ha! How is she doing all the household work and taking care of the children if she works and he stays at home? TThe you're saying he's using her for money and will leave her for a woman that doesn't have food money... How does that make any sense.
Good money* You're probably a man because what you're saying is not making any sense. Then I guess stay at home moms are cheating on their husband's with men that are more in tuned and spend more time with her and the kids.
I would never be a stay at home mom cause I'm independent. I don't like depending upon someone else's income. I don't even want kids so it doesn't make any sense to stay at home. I'd have less freedom if I just stay at home. I'd rather have a career and if my husband doesn't have one, he should at least do something meaningful during his spare time.
I don't mind to take charge and duties at home. But I would not like it, because I enjoy 'working' very much and a good part of my energy and creativity would not be used. It would frustrate me. My ideal situation is one where both of us follow our inclinations; and at the same time both of us run the show at home.
Literally the greatest life I can think of, I do t understand why any woman would ever turn down staying at home to raise the kids. Wish I was a woman JUST to be a stay at home mom, it sure as fucking hell beats getting up and going to work every day, you'd have to be a crazy person to turn that down.
Nooooo. I like to make my own money. However, if my husband really wanted me to, I'd compromise and work part-time. I'm not going to have full gaps in my work history because you just never know what will happen down the line...
Even though it would be very financialy restrictive my Girlfriend and myself discussed this & we both want her at home from day we marry.
We both realise thier would be continual cost cutting, however we are both prepared to go without out for her well being & also our children.
My girlfriend is already thrifty and sew's her own clothes & does'nt buy expensive Makeup & Haircuts, instead she already has her Grandmother cut & set her hair, plus she already takes all my money to set us up for the future.
We both want our children to have a Mother present all the time and are willing to live our future life together thriftly..
No. I want her to work while I’ll be the stay at home dad. I never really liked working anyway, but I do really like kids. Especially if they’re my own lol. So i would think it’s awesome to spend a lot of time with them. Time I would otherwise spend on working.
My mum stopped work till me and my sister were secondary school age. I can honestly say that never having to be in child care and having someone around the whole time really helped. Knowing this, I would want my partner to stay at home.

I have a stay at home wife. She has been that way for the last 10 of the 11 years we been together.
She is 29 this year, essentially started the night I took her virginity and got her pregnant. We now have 4 kids with a 5th on the way.
Would it change? We have no plans to change the arrangement of her being the stay at home wife. Also quite difficult for this arrangement to change as childcare is expensive and it is difficult for her to get a job beyond flipping burgers at a McDonald's.
I stayed at home with my kids... I dont regret it one bit. I am glad I got to raise my children instead of a daycare.

I was a stay at home mum for a few years, I love that I have time for my family especially the kids. For those who say thag beinf a stay at home parent is being lazy, that is very insensitive for parents staying home, doing house work, taking and picking up their kids to/from school, football practice etc. Also, it doesn’t mean that I don’t have a life, I go out with my friends for a coffee sometimes. I love being active so train everyday, going to gym, mountain biking, running, I am even training to do mg first pull up and I’m half way there! I guess it depends on the parents, what are their interests thag keeps them busy aside from house work. But I just want to say that being a stay at home parent is like having a job where you need to work 24/7 with no holiday and without getting payed. I am now working full time, but I am not happy because I couldn’t get enough time with my kids.
I think it is important in children's early years that one parent be with them, either one is fine o have been both myself. I just feel that letting other people implant their morals and beliefs is not good.
Hell nah, Sweden is shit expensive nearly impossible to live on one salery depending on what earn but unless you get like 6000-7000$ a month before tax you won't really survive especially with the high shit expensive loans on houses and also depends where you live. Like a in a city like stockholm? Like in the middle of it? Good luck buddy.
so if both earn around 3000 a month y'all good coz then y bring in ~6000 although maybe become 4000 or 5000 with taxes... But just 1 person bringing in that cash a month is really hard depending what u work as...
If she wants to work thats fine, but I wouldn't mind if she wanted to stay at home and took care of the kids, in my opinion I should be able to provide for my woman so she doesn't HAVE to work. Better for the kids too.

@BraveHeart97 I wouldn't be to the best of my ability.
I can keep up a household and work. It might be tough but at least I would be fulfilled.
Obviously? Who doesn’t want to sit at home and online shop and not even have to pay for that? Sign me the fuck up. I don’t know who thought it was a brilliant idea to tell men we could do the things they do just fine bitch shut up that was our secret.

Well there’s you. Most emasculated thing ever.

You do know men help produce babies right? So how is taking care of his children emasculating?
So if you happened to wind up being a single parent wtf are you going to do moron?
its a trap... these are the kind of men who will use a woman and end up craving / leaving her for the feminine woman who does not work like a man.
@zaraparis You saying working women aren't feminine? And how's it a trap if it's their choice?
@Raymond_Reddington @ChaseParker No, that would be a bathroom plunger in the balloon knot. I'm sure you're familiar with the receiving/catching position...
@BadAssHunter working women tend to be less feminine over time yes. Especially is she does all household tasks and looks after children.
@zaraparis Okay so a woman that sits on her ass is a real woman? Ha! How is she doing all the household work and taking care of the children if she works and he stays at home?
