I want to meet a househusband so freaking bad. I have a bunch of questions!

lightbulb27 · Accepted Answer

I'm a house husband in training, full time. I once worked the IT world and loved it for long time.. it served my introverted fear of humans and was highly respected and valued for the "bugs" I'd create and then fix... go figure. But the stress of being in the wrong job did me in for that career. The physical aspect of my next job was excessive, wasn't gonna last doing that.

So I'm thankful for my lady @midnightmoon and I get to play support, which I'm good at. I tend the house, cars and kids. It's good teamwork. Home job is under valued. It's a full time job running a house. Doing everything yourself is too much and doing it alone is a waste. #getamate

I could see getting part time job or volunteering at some point in mens ministry or such, got plenty on my hands as it is for the moment.

Who ever came up with this idea that both adults should work and that it is not a well regarded use of life? The devil? We have kids at home and I Can tell you, they need A LOT of support and engagement and supervision in this nutty world. We need parents more than ever. #trainparents.

That pesky inflation though... hate to tell ya, one worker used to be able to care for a family of 4 at reasonable standard of living. Wars ruined that. #govttheft.

As long as there's income and there's no financial worries, I'd gladly be a house husband for my two loves. I personally think it'd be pretty fun, just doing chores and learning new skills, cooking food and organizing things, perhaps even picking up new hobbies with how much time I'll have on my hands.

I think it'd be an interesting experience, as long as my partners would want that and ask that of me.

Since I love making my own money and having my work valued, I'd say being a house spouse has too many disadvantages. If you're being a PAID housewife or househusband, then yes, it's possible. You shouldbe paid your worth. j Figure out how much your "services" would cost if they were paid for in the outside world. :Your "salary" would come out of the outside wage earners'.

That is the only fair way to work it because being at home, cooking, cleaning, child care, home decorating, washing clothes, ironing them, repairing them for the wage earner's outside appearance, dog walking, cat care, bringing children to the PTA, doctor, are costly and time consuming services worth thousands of dollars per year.

A 401K and savings for your retirement would have to be set up, plus an education fund if you'd like to go back to school when the kids are older and your child care serivces not needed.

I'd get too bored at home

zeitgeist057 · Answer

I have done it, and it was pretty fun, but I had a problem of being a bit bored and losing motivation.

My first years I spent a lot of time doing online school, then starting my own business from home. I also spent a lot of time on personal fitness, staying in shape with my body as well as my mind. I think the one aspect I neglected was my social life, and I spent too much time focused inwardly on the home.

In the end, I just got tired of the routine. It is fine, and I enjoy cooking, cleaning, organizing and managing the home. Taking care of the dogs and spouse, but I need a bit more variety in my life was the main issue. I could and would do it again, but I need to be really focused on having balance in my life and staying stimulated by more activities and interactions. If I did it again I would probably also keep my volunteer job for something to keep my mind and body busy.

TruthBringer · Answer

As the man with traditional values, you won't see me be a househusband. I'm the main breadwinner and it will stay this way. Both my girl and I work, but if she chooses to stay at home she can. Why? Because we both have traditional values and remain loyal to our genderroles. I refuse to have one of those modern "relationships" that usually end up broken as stats have shown

FinalFantasyBro · Answer

I am already just bored staying in the house because of COVID-19, I definitely wouldn't want to make that into a career. Plus I wouldn't making any money just being at home, I mean I could always work from home if I had to. But would I want to become a househusband nah, I don't have any problems of women or men who do enjoy being in the house but I don't want that to be my whole life. So I definitely be a working man. https://images. app. goo. gl/axWTBqU4mFZMVNVm6https://images. app. goo. gl/1SzgBxVsw4pBm6cb6https://images. app. goo. gl/TS9npawRRh82Ut1k7

"I want to meet a househusband so freaking bad. I have a bunch of questions!"

if you REALLY want one, you could try older men who are successful enough that they can retire early. But they would probably be too old for your young age.

Moose304 · Answer

I am single and semi-retired. Mostly work from home these days. So I can't help you as far as answering any questions. I do know one guy that also works from home and his wife is a Surgeon. They share most of the housework and cooking. 100% sexist remark I admit, but I could never have a female to support me. I would not be comfortable giving her control over my life like that!

Notfabricated11 · Answer

Enough though I have enough drive and motivation for 10 people i could definitely see myself being a housedad. I would love my children with every fiber of my being and even tho they may get annoying some times I wouldn't picture being away from them. Its a main reason as to why I dont have any now. I would want children with someone who wouldn't try to take them away from me.

bamesjond0069 · Answer

Sadly by most people's idea of it yes i can be the breadwinner and a househusband both at the same time better than most women could be a housewife. Its pretty pathetic if you ask me.

But personally im not going to do housewife things because i dont want to and dont have to. Thats a womans job.

My mom is a housewife its not really my cup of tea but i might be one some day its just easier. My sister was not planning on being a housewife but the minute she gave birth she couldn’t go to work she would go and think about her baby ALL DAY she couldn’t focus and she declared she simply can not stay away from her baby and became a house wife too

shaysh87 · Answer

Its clear you have no real world experience. Your chances of being a house wife / house husband is very slim unless your spouse makes a ton of money 150k+ a year.

Just go to the YMCA homeless shelter and raise your hand and say, "I'll pay you to be a stay at home dad". They will be swarming you like migrant workers in a Home Depot parking lot.
