786 opinions shared on Relationships topic. No I would not. As a victim of divorce, and I mean victim... stay at home parents will wrack your ass over the coals in a divorce proceeding. You basically will end up paying for them even after they quit on the marriage. My ex worked for 14 years... once my oldest turned 16 she wanted to stay at home and raise my 10 year old because she had all these feelings of regret. Once I got to 20 years at my job and had a guaranteed life long pension she divorced me and since she was unemployed for last four years of marriage despite having a master degree and 14 years of work experience and certifications... I ended up having to pay 10 years of alimony. She now collects 20K a year in alimony and 20k in child support and has 60K annual income from her job and I have to take her back to court to get out of the alimony next year after the youngest turns 18 and the child support turns off, because honestly she is self supporting.

If we were able to afford it - yes, I would support.
I’m not married, but I don’t think I could support my husband fully unless I trusted him fully to not just sit around all day. I think resentment, and frustration would arise from the working partner if they starting coming home, and noticing things haven’t been done around the house, or still having to maintain their responsibilities at home after working all day. I’ve met too many messy men to have a non biased opinion. Male or female, working or not, use a trash can and clean up after yourself!

Yes, but I’d have to change my career or get a higher degree so I could get a better paying job to support all of us.

I had an ex who wanted to become one in his 20s. I mean he had the funds to do so and businesses to back him up. I guess I could make due for a while because it would be nice for the kids to have someone always there until they’re old enough for preschool (age 4+). But after that i’d wonder what he's doing with his day
My co-worker has been married for 7 years. Has a 1 year old son. Not sure how much his wife makes, but think she had a decent job. But, he said he mathed it out and they have more money when she stays home and takes care of the kid then to pay for childcare and work. Also, definitely a plus your kid spends time with their own mother.
If we had discussed it is terms of finances etc, then this would be ok. I could probably support him if I had to, but at the point they are school aged then they should be in school to be honest with you and there wouldn't be a good enough reason to have my partner at how and not working
Yes. I would rather her be home safe and caring for the kids, but that's up to her. It's fine if the man stays at home, I guess... but it would make more sense if it was the woman that did it.
Being a *mother* is already a full-time job and women are naturally better equipped for it than men are.-
My ex was a stay at home parent, only she didn't want kids and I did so we compromised and didn't have any.
She never cooked or did housework. That was my job. As well as having a job, sometimes two..
I get tired just thinking about my past relationships, I couldn't live like that anymore. Treated like a servant, high expectations, no appreciation, all the pressure, walking on eggshells never knowing what random thought would piss her off. - 1.6K opinions shared on Relationships topic.
Yes. I did. Many years ago, my then-wife and I both worked when she got pregnant with our first child. She planned to come back to work after he was born, and then changed her mind and became a stay at home mom. It was tough going from two to just one income, but it ended up bring a good decision. Kids and family are most important.

It's not a matter of choice cause i won't marry a girl who doesn't adores becoming a housewife which means i'll be her supporter as long as we live...
I don't like the photo that you have uploaded because this role is for women, a basic role, of some males chose to become stay at home dads it's their business but it's a humiliation for other real men!
I love the picture only if it was a woman instead of this guy! - Anonymous(25-29)
Of course. Before we got married we decided together that she would stay home with our kids until they were older. We have a14 month old daughter and she stays home with her. She is a great mom and wife and I appreciate her dedication to our family and what a great job she does taking care of our home. She has a career she has put on hold but will go back to work when the kids are all in school full time. Being a stay a home mom is a tough job.
I'm not married. Even if I were to allow a female to live with me I don't want her living off me like that. In a comment, I just read and agree with 100% DaveJord nailed it. EVEN if she works if you make more than she does you are going to get raped by the family courts. NO THANK YOU!
434 opinions shared on Relationships topic. Very much so. I deeply yearn for a spouse like that. Quite frankly I concern myself over whether I'll even find a girl like that, let alone happen to be each other's type and begin dating.

No I want a manly man. I should be the one doing that. I believe in traditional gender roles.

I do right now. She wants to stay home. I work full time and we make it just fine. Honestly I think its better for our kids but i recognize not everyone has that luxury.
513 opinions shared on Relationships topic. I don't want my income to be the only means to live. So no
For some time, yes. But not forever5.2K opinions shared on Relationships topic. My wife atayed home with our kids for 11 years when they were little.
i wouldn't have. if i were to adopt a child for example, i'd rather have both parents work to provide an income for their future.
Yeah if things were to work out that way and still be stable.
Haha I can guarantee that 85- 90% of the people on here who obsess over housewiving are the same ones who can’t afford it
-
As long as one of us had a stable paycheck and didn't live a crazy extravagant spending life while they did. I mean, just so the bills would be paid and everything was secure and safe for a family.
The girl i’m with refuses to not work. She considers it lazy. If I had the income I would. But a stay at home job is temporary. Eventually your kids are old enough to take care of themselves.
