Do you believe a hard working husband and father should be honoured when he comes home from work by his wife and kids?

[Littlewife]

Yes, it's important to show such a man appreciation.

No, why should he be appreciated by anyone for doing what he's supposed to do anyway

An appreciation has to come from the heart. It must not be an obligation. As soon as it becomes a MUST, then it is not meant honestly and I'd rather not have an token of appreciation rather to know that this gesture did not come from the heart.

Likewise, a father coming home from work should leave his worries at work and not bring them home for everyone to notice.

Family time is precious time. In a blink of an eye and children have left the house.
Use as much of this precious family time because once it is gone, it is never returning. Don't expect anything but give everything

[Littlewife]

A father bringing his work worries home could mean things are very dire there and the pressure and stress maybe very intense meaning it may be more important to support and help lift his burden.

[TarrAva]

of course you are correct. However, I feel that this could be discussed among adults at a later date or time when children are not around or in bed.

Children are very observant and direct.

I would not want, as a father (or working mother) to come home and stress the entire family when this little time that I have with my family is so important. I want to spend it in harmony.

There will be sufficient time later to discuss and hopefully solve that problem that may after all, not be so serious. Of course, it would be wrong to generalize this statement.

My opinion is just that I want to spend this prime time with my family and enjoy every second while it lasts.

[Littlewife]

Of course your right but fathers are only human and everyone has a breaking point.

i find the word honoured difficult to swallow as it smacks of the first half of the twentieth century when women were tied to the kitchen sink and children were seen but not heard. Being excited to see my husband return after being out all day is something I did with my children and still do now we are on our own.

[Littlewife]

Didn't a lot of women work in the first half of the 20th century espicially in factories and as maids? I dont get where the 1950s housewife tied to the kitchen sink came out of, that was mostly fairly affluent wasp middle class families.

[NicolaD]

I'm sorry I should have said latter half of the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth century, however your right, a number of women did work in the mills and factories and as maids / servants too but they tended to be more single or young women.

[Littlewife]

Well that was before the invention of the pill and before maternity leave was a thing. If a woman had sex she tended to get pregnant but a lot of working class mothers still worked often with their mother or mother inlaw looking after the kids. It was more by necessity than desire.

[NicolaD]

Actually it was well before the pill (which was the sixties) but certainly contraception was a turning point in women gaining more control and allowing them to pursue work and even enhance their education.

[BlueCoyote]

Isn't everyone hard-working? The wife certainly is, too. And arguably, even the children are. So why should the husband be singled out in any way? When I think back to my childhood, my mom was working just as hard as my dad, especially in a physical sense. While she had to do all kinds of physically demanding tasks around the house, he was sitting in a nice, comfy office. Let alone the fact that she had a job on the side, in addition to her full-time job as a housewife.

[KamikazeMIR]

I definitely agree.

That Mr Mans bust his ass every day not just sometimes but every day a day does not go by that you all I mean his family aren’t in the soul of this man he trust you all I mean again his family to try and do the right thing now honestly remember you don’t have to put too much salsa on the taco he knows where he belongs after a long hot day he knows what where when just as soon as you’re eyes meet o sip the bed I am rambling again but for real mam he is a hard working man and a lot of that work is for the ones he loves the most all I can really reply to this is God bless you all you guys are so lucky to have each other and may you thrive because you all deserve it thanks

[howlyz]

I think a better word for it would be appreciate, and to show that in action. Honoring would be something kinda trivial if you ask me, you can buy him a cheap medal on the market place and honor him after he comes from home every night but that wouldn't do much good for him right

[ZELLxoxo]

A wife should always respect her husband (unless she has a reason not to)
He should be honoured and his presence should be appreciated (regardless of his hard work)

[Wonderer89]

I think that both parties need to be appreciated and respected for the contributions they do

[rickytim]

Yes I agree with 100 percent

[SarahsSummer]

Of course you should respect and appreciate your husband. But then again, both mates should respect each other in the relationship.

[Mexicoman101]

I mean if you want him not to contribute to a dysfunctional household with his bitterness, then yeah. If you’re fine with living with a lot of yelling, no fuck it.

[TsubasaCorrupted]

Give him as much respect, affection and care as deserved. If you treat him like a king and he treats you like an in home domestic servant, or he treats you like a queen and you treat him like a bread basket, then something is wrong

[Lance1965]

Absolutely but most working men are taken for granted. The days of a man coming home to a home-cooked meal and dinner around the table with the family is becoming extinct.

[genericname85]

i think there's no issue with husband and wife appreciating what each other contributes to the family.

[worldscolide]

Yes very much so.. Sadly women these days are taught that men have no value beyond their pocketbook.

[grega239]

men aren't emotionless machines and women aren't gonna die if they show some love for some1 who provides

[Anonymous]

Everyone should be thankful for everyone else's contributions.

[GreatnessBack]

As a hard working husband and father, fuck yes. lol

[larry69]

He is doing what he is supposed. Appreciation is always welcome.

[LegateLanius]

Dunno. I don't plan on getting married or having children.

[CT_CD]

Yes, it's important to show such a man appreciation.

[wannaplaytoy]

the only one who greets him with any love is the pet dog
trust me its the truth

[Anonymous]

Sure, if he honours his wife just as much.

[Littlewife]

Isn't he already?

[Opinion Owner]

How? By working? If so, then she is already honouring him too by taking care of their home and children.

[Littlewife]

I dont think it's the same espicially as most kids are in school for at least 6 hours per day as well as the fact as domestic appliances have been in homes for decades such as vacuums, dish washers, washing machines, tumble dryers, fridges, electric cookers, electric heating etc. A modern housewife could spend as little as 2 hours per day looking after the home and her children which is why thanks to modern appliances so many women have so much free time to work either full time or part time.

[Opinion Owner]

So then, if it’s so easy, he can stay at home and care for the house and kids and she can work.

You’re wrong. Most parents say being at work is like having a vacation compared to being at home as a full time parent and housekeeper. In my country a lot of men take months and months of paternity leave when they have kdis and they often say they’re relieved and happy to get back to work after.

[Littlewife]

Some families have a father who stays at home, a neighbour of mine does that, he also works from home.
I'm not wrong, I have kids myself, I can't wait until they start school so I can start working as I'm so bored most of the time and the domestic chores take up about 2-4 hours most days meaning that after I get up to make my husband his breakfast and lunch at 6.30am I have nothing to do by 12' o clock except start dinner for when my husband comes home at around 4pm and I usually make 2 dinners at once. But then thats just me, im super organised.
My man wishes he hot more time off when I gave birth.

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

If he's hardworking then yea totally.
