Guys, Would u let your girlfriend be a housewife or stay-at-home mum?

[Jojojojojojojo]

Like the question and why?

Yes

No

[AviatorTom]

My then-wife was a stay-at-home Mom, did a great job of taking care of our kids while I worked... until our kids were all in high school, then she went back to work.

[Jojojojojojojo]

I see. What she’s doing now?

[AviatorTom]

She is remarried and working, part-time from home. Though divorced, we are still on good terms.

[Summeroflove]

If I made enough money. But I wouldn’t marry someone who used me for money either

[EricSummer]

That will be fine while our child is small, but not indefinitely.

On the other hand, as she is a visual artist she can easily work from home so there can be a gradual transition back to her job.

[Jojojojojojojo]

What if she’s an artist but gaining very little like let say $500per month?

[EricSummer]

She also gives lessons in classical painting and language lessons which is easily scalable. She can get more clients depending on how busy she is.

Anyway, with a very small kid she can have a complete break from external activity, I'm fine with that. However, for her own good she will not be content with that for years given that she has university education.

We will find a way.

[TallAnon]

Permanently? No.
If we get kids and she wants to stay home for a year or two, that works, it can make more sense financially and she gets to spend more time with the kid.
But when the kid is like 13, I don't want her sitting on her ass doing nothing all day.

[Billlewis]

I never 'let' the woman I'm dating/serving do anything -- she does whatever she wants whenever she wants and I always support her in her activities and lifestyle choices.

[ChiTown33]

Let her? She's her own person. I want whatever makes her happy so long as it's conducive to our relationship. I would hope that she feels the same about me.

[Jojojojojojojo]

Oh i see. But it s related to your finances

[ChiTown33]

Well I'm old enough now that I doubt there are going to be any kids. If she doesn't want to have a job I guess that's her prerogative. But she's gotta have a passion. Everyone does. Life is pointless without it. If you're not raising kids and not working a job I can't imagine what she'd do to fill her time.

[Lionman95]

Yes I would let her if she´s ok with having not a high living standard. I come from a progressive society where it´s no way near the norm that only men are working. So I wouldn´t mind if she wants to work since that´s what I´m used to.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Stay at home mom? No, I don't want kids (unless you count pets).

Housewife? No, not in the sense of me being the sole provider. But yes in the sense that both me and her will be working from home and retiring eventually.

[BCRanger10]

Yes. In fact, my wife and I want to get to that point eventually.

[JackCarter]

Only if she really wants too
I would also love supporting her if she had any other dream

[Unit1]

No, that would not sit right with me. Money is needed to sustain life and its better to have multiple sources of income instead of just 1.

[clampfan101]

If that’s what she wants I don’t know why I’d object.

[LiamJHayden]

She could do what she wants, but as I am sterile it would not be with me.

[Staximus]

If I could afford it

[Amur8711]

Yes! Would you want to be one?

[Jojojojojojojo]

Lol what?🤣🤣

[Amur8711]

A stay at home wife/mum

[Jojojojojojojo]

Oh wow. purposing 🤭🥳

[inhua]

no problem

[Anonymous]

Kinda nice but there are compromises.

[Jmmmfi4]

Definitely
