My wife goes to work while i stay at home looking after our baby,cook,clean etc. What do you think about this?

Answer 1

I think that you rock. You and your wife make the decisions that are best for your family. I am a stay at home mom.

I think that your children will appreciate you being there.

Happy Father's Day!

Answer 2

Well I think that's awesome. I only wish there were more open minded, kind hearted, intelligent men like you. I gotta give you props for being a stand up guy. I don't really know your situation, but whatever it is, you doing a good thing. Whatever the reason, it's awesome that you would help out like that. I do hope your wife appreciates you.

Because if you didn't know how hard it is to be a stay at home mom, well you'll learn it's a full time job. Now I do realize stay at home moms have a bad rep. People think all they do is stay home, eat and watch t.v. Unfortunately, there are lots of women who do act that way and they give the real hard working stay at home moms a bad rep.

Well you keep up the good work and don't listen to ignorant people who will try and bring you down and try to make it seem you're less of a man. The real deal is you're MORE of a man because you're secure enough to do what society thinks is a womans job.

Take care of yourself and your family.

Answer 3

Staying at home with a child is hard work. My husband has been deployed for 8mo now and so in a way I feel like a single parent. I think that a man that is willing to stay home with the baby and does it wonderfully is just amazing. Don't listen to the Mr. Mom cracks, you doing this shows character and stability. You are doing a great job and reward yoursefl for it. Also make sure your wife is getting enough attention. Before my husband was deployed I made the mistake in not showing him enough affection due to the baby, so be careful on that, people tend to get jealous of your time, especially your partner! Good luck and Have fun!

Answer 4

I was in a similar situation where I had the better paying job after having our second child was born so my husband stayed home when I returned to work. When our child begin potty training my husband went back to school which allowed for our child to experience child care in small increments. I think the dad staying home is a good thing but mom does miss out in a lot of good bonding moments.

Answer 5

I think that's really ambitious!! Caring for a baby is a full-time job (as in 24/7, not 40 hours a week) all by itself. How you find the time to cook and clean in addition is beyond me! I know *I* haven't been able to do all 3 on the same day...

Answer 6

I think it is good that you have done this and also stuck around but is there any difference between you staying at home or ya misses? Don't get me wrong I am not trying to offend you but the part that sux is you will get a lot of praise for doing this but what about us mothers that have been doing this for centuries? We don't get anything cause we are just meant to do it while the male comes home bitching about his bad day at work and how easy we have it sitting on our asses spending their money! The mothers out there can see where I am coming from!!!

Answer 7

If you are better suited to care for the baby and clean house, and/or your wife has a greater earning potential, or if circumstances caused you to end up being the one at home, and it works for you, then you are making the right choice for your family. What difference does it make what the strangers on Yahoo think? Go about your business with your head held high. If someone gives you grief about it, they are clearly ignorant and small-minded.

Answer 8

There isn't anything wrong with it as long as you are confident that you are contributing to the household...

Some say that it is a woman's place to be at home and care for the kids while the husband goes out and works and earns a living for the family....this is ever changing in our society.

Kudos to you and keep up the good work.

Answer 9

What do I think? I don't think anything about it. I've known quite a few men who are stay at home dad's. If she makes a good living and can provide for the family, I think it's great. Just because you don't get a paycheck, your job is just as if not more important.

Answer 10

I think that if its a desicion you both made thats fine because men need a break away from the working world too. Im a stay at home mom and I do everything too. It makes me feel good to be able to spend time with my children.
