Do you want your wife to work or to stay at home?

Question

Cook, clean...

sunflower00 · Accepted Answer

I don’t think my boyfriend really cares. It’s a cost of living crisis, so having two incomes certainly is beneficial and as things stand we couldn’t survive on his alone.

I love my job and I have big goals. I’m currently trying to work my way up alongside doing a degree to provide me with more opportunities (and because I just love to learn and want a degree). Work is tough, I find it very difficult, but ideally I’d prefer a 4 day work week rather than being a housewife. I’d like a few days at home to do my own thing rather than working 6 days a week (currently).

My boyfriend always encourages me with my job and ambitions.

Even if my husband was a billionaire, I’d still work because it’s what I love to do. I would never want a husband who wanted to limit my value and contributions to household tasks and children. I have immense respect for women who choose that lifestyle, but it’s just not for me.

It’s up to her. Mine currently works but has often said she wishes staying home while our kids were small was something we explored more.

The double income is very nice but in the end, it’s her happiness that matters most. Would I personally prefer a trad-wife, all things being equal? Heck yeah! My wife has often said she thinks that kind of life is very appealing to her - but slicing our income by about a third isn’t.
But that’s also not really an option for us so it’s just a little escapism for us to chat about at this point.

work from home if possible.

as far as my possesiveness goes i would want a housewife (s) but i have no intention being a provider, nope not happening, a protector? absolutly think of me as your guardian beast but i have no intention of being a bank account and turn my penis into a credit card to me providing is a feminine trait. but i also don't want other guys around her/them.

so like i said work from home if possible.

My partner likes that I'm a stay at home mom

Avicenna · Answer

I'd like her to stay home with our 7 kids...

midnightmoon05 · Answer

Depends…I have a masters degree and a career…I stayed home for 3-5 years after having 2 kids…I didn’t like staying home. Much happier working while my kids in school.
With my degree and career, I don’t believe in cooking amd be a cleaning lady because I make enough to have a house keeper.
some women want to be stay at home moms…but if I was a guy…I would want her to have similar education level so that my future kids can be educated similarly.
I do know women who graduated from Ivy League schools and be a stay at home moms to raise kids…they don’t cook/clean. They have Nannie’s.

Chandelier8 · Answer

My guess is most men want women to do it all, for them (cook, clean, look after the kids, bring in income as well). The exceptions are likely the ones that want full control over a woman to be a baby-maker. That said, it really should be a woman's choice either way and one choice is not better than the other.

smne35 · Answer

If I was married and we can afford either or, it is up to her on the end, we will discuss so possibilities of working or remaining home, it's not a matter of what I want, she is her own individual, not a android for me to command, we discussed it together openly and come to a middle ground but I'm end I would side with what ever she decides to do, hide I would go about resolving this,

sawno · Answer

Ideally I am able to provide to where she doesn't have to work, if she wants to work and we don't have kids she can go for it. But i'd love to be able to make it optional for her.

HawkPerception · Answer

Honestly if I have enough money, I wouldn't care if she worked or not as long as she is happy. Not every man nowadays can provide that much and realistically most households require dual income. I think it's important for women to be realistic about that.

HaveNoName · Answer

My wife was always sensible enough to not depend on what I had to say or to get dictated by my wish. She stayed at hime till the kids were old and independant enough (higher middle school). Then, she started working part time only because she felt bored at home. She still works but only to stay busy. I do not have any intention to make her work to bring in the money. I do not consider that to be her job.

Raaj4you · Answer

I would not force her to work. I think it depends on the person and our current situation. Some women like to work and some don't. Some women want to work when they are single and not when they are married. Some women want to work before having babies and not after having babies. It also depends on our financial condition. I would prefer to date and marry a flexible woman.

XXTruthfulOgrexx · Answer

I don't care. Her income will never match nor will it significantly change mine.

However if she thinks she will sit at home drinking latte's going to lunch with the girl's everyday and online shopping. She can live somewhere else.

CalmUntilAbused · Answer

With the advent of "home office", why not both?

OK, but to be serious, I'd rather She stayed at home and took care of the home and the kids. Of course, I would provide the financial stability and general safety for that.

FriendlyCanadianGuy · Answer

My mom raised all of us, stayed at home, and I'm way better off for it.

If life was affordable I would lean towards being the breadwinner so that the kids could have full time parental love, guidance and upbringing

Billlewis · Answer

Neither. I prefer to pay all her bills and do all the household chores.

Lyndsielee666 · Answer

Definitely wouldn’t let a man tell me I couldn’t work 💀

Anonymous · Answer

She will work until we have a first child, after which she will stay home and be a mother and homemaker until the kiddos are in school full time. At that point she'll go back to work part time so she can contribute financially but be home when the kids get home. Once they are in high school and/or we feel they are ok being home alone, she will go back to work full time and resume her career.

Kids deserve a real mother when they are young.

I would love to stay at home and take care of everything that needs to be tended to at home while my husband works and brings home the bacon.

ChicoFromThe305 · Answer

It can go either way but Id prefer she stayed home but it's not a must

exitseven · Answer

My wife stayed home with our kids for 11 years. We decided on this before we got married. Afterwards she went back to work part time. She was always home for our kids.

iFarted · Answer

I want her to do whatever she's happy to do. Doesn't matter if it were work or stay at home. She better be productive though..

Wood3nWhal3 · Answer

I want her to do whatever the hell her heart desires... as long as she takes care of the home, the kids, our little white dog named Razzles, etc.

Al_Musafir · Answer

She's either working in a place where there are no men around or she's staying at home.

Anonymous · Answer

Women have equal rights, and they should work and approach men and ask men out on dates, too.  I love my sugar mama; I couldn't afford our house with my shitty-paying job.

Unit1 · Answer

It's better if she has her own source of income. Modern Life cannot be sustained without income streams.

Vick2828 · Answer

She can do whatever she wants, but I prefer it if she stays home while I take care of her. Or if I become rich, I would stay home and take care of the kids while working inside my house.

BourbonAndBacon · Answer

Prefer stay at home but I'm with someone who wants to work part time. Close enough.
