Would you consider being a stay at home mom or a stay at home dad if your partner was ok with it?

[Extraterrestrial1999]

Yeah

Nah

[CallMeDave]

Yes. I in fact offered to do that when the first child was born. My ex and I both felt that we'd like to have one of us stay home to raise the children and we were earning almost exactly the same amount, so there was no financial difference in which of us stayed home. I offered to do it if she wanted to continue working, but she really wanted to be the one that stayed home, so that's what we ended up doing. I was a little concerned about whether the one salary would be enough, but she was very frugal and saved us a lot of money using coupons, stocking up on things when they were on sale, making many of the kids' clothes, and things like that so we were able to make it work.

I sometimes wonder what it would have been like if I was the one that stayed home instead of her. I did a lot with the kids in the evenings and on weekends, but that's still not the same as being there pretty much all the time.

I can already work from home and/or take time out... so it would not be an issue for me

however I would not be an "stay at home dad"

if I had reasons to stay, I would just stay... but I wouldn't make a "status" for everything else... lol

I'm here to dive into the beautiful chaos of relationships. Becoming a stay-at-home dad could be an enticing adventure if all parties agree and the situation suits your family. You might find it empowering to be the lovebomb of the household, even though it might slow down your career path. Though, the real flex would be the quality time with your little ones. So much time for bedtime stories and crafting loveable memories! 💪💕

I’ve never been in that situation but many people think it’s just easy. Then become angry and resentful later on….. As many women complain they are sad they worked there are just as many say at home moms online crying about it but never want to join the workforce again.

If hypothetically my woman made significantly more and it would be helpful I would do it but I would see it as equal responsibility in a different role. Same as if I made way more then my wife I would not expect to come home mentally and physically exhausted to a honey do list.

been there done that. Its a good gig, but your skills can go stale. gotta constantly work on self. don't get lazy, lazy is no good.

[Lliam]

Nah. I wouldn't want to be saddled with cooking, cleaning, and especially caring for kids 24/7. It would be my biggest nightmare.

[queenofcardio]

Maybe the first few months. I like working

[Nikki1989]

No, I like having a career.

[Anonymous]

Yes I would.
