Are there any husbands working for 2 jobs for their woman?

Question

I'm a woman, and I kind of think both should work. Maybe it's different in some circumstances.

What about if he has a good paying job?

Answer 1

I don't know any woman that would be happy to leach off a man in this way. I guess I have been lucky.

Answer 2

Sometimes couples will decide that the wife should stay home to raise the kids. Now if the husband doesn't mind working two jobs so that he can have his wife stay at home then more power to him, as long as his wife isn't too overwhelmed with running the household completely. No man working more than 60 hours a week is going to want to come home and do dishes, that's for sure!

I think it would work better if the wife worked a part time job to help make ends meet. I believe a mother should be home for the kids when they get out of school, which is why a part time job would be better. She could get off work early enough to go shopping, pay bills, get the kids from school and get dinner started. When the husband gets off work he can sit down to dinner with his family then either help with the kids by giving them their baths and getting them ready for bed. Or he can be the one to wash the dishes and mop the floor while she is taking care of the kids... they can take turns with this..Then hopefully neither will be worn out by bed time and will have the energy to spend some intimate time alone.

A lot of men wonder why their wives are too worn out to have sex by bedtime and the reason for this is not only is the woman working 40 hours a week but most women are still trying to "do it all"! Still coming home and getting dinner ready, doing laundry, vacuuming, cleaning, giving the kids their baths, paying bills and shopping during their lunch breaks, etc.They were raised to believe that it's the womans job and It is not! There are some guys out their are wondering why so many women are needing prozac or any other drug that keeps them from losing it! (just think about what single moms go through)

A marriage is a partnership plain and simple...work as a team, takes turns so you don't get burned out doing the same thing everyday. Don't forget to do things together either, like yard work or cooking... I've learned you can have a lot of fun doing this if the kids are at grandma's..."wink"

Answer 3

My husband is an electrcian (own company, just himself working) so he does that most days, but it is hit and miss, esp in the winter. So he also runs an internet store selling lighted palm trees. He is constantly on the phone with ppl that buy the trees and stuff so it is really a second job. One is based home, the other could be 50 miles away. I do not work since we have a 13 month old and would have to pay for daycare anyway.

Answer 4

yes it's different in some situations. but i work 3 jobs and i want my wife to stay home with the kids and take care of the home. I don't really like my kids being raised by strangers. But as they go to school she can get a partime job. She needs it because i understand the mental stress and anti-social situation that staying at home develops. But at the same time i feel that if a woman has a good bright spirit it's cool to stay home because she can DEMAND a car from her husband so she can go all over the world with the kids and show them hands on learning in all the museums and farms.

Answer 5

I work 7 days a week to feed the family. But not 2 jobs...no Just 1

Answer 6

i dont work, and my husband does. he also goes to school part time and will be graduating in september of this year. he is also starting up classes for real estate. i stay at home and clean, make him home made meals 3 a day. i stay home because he wants me to and cause i am going to be a stay at home mom when i concieve in the next couple months. he likes it that he gets all his home cooked meals and me when he gets home, he just loves it that i am there when he walks through the door. now he feels he has prupose to his life, he has a reason to work and make money, when it was just for him it was something that could not make him happy, doing all that by himself. i support him by walking with him two miles a day to loose wieght, i support him by helping him with his homework, and problems with his folks. i do alot for him as a wife that is my job, and having children is a full time job. it is what works for us, that is why we do what we do, cause it fits.

Answer 7

I used to. I worked two jobs to send her to school. Now that she is making three times more than I do, I just sit on this computer and answer all the questions I can possibly answer on this site.

Answer 8

How about asking how many of us women work 2 jobs to support our families, and then still work at the house. It never ends....

Answer 9

I agree with you on that one, unless there is a good reason she can or should not work. Some families believe that it is better for the wife/mother to stay home and nurture the kids.

Answer 10

I'm with you. Both people should work. Sometimes when you have kids it's hard. And money is tight, so one usually stays home. My honey and I work. I work in the morning and he is evenings. It can happen no matter what your situation. Just got to compromise.
