I personally dont see anything wrong with the woman working and the man staying home if that is what the two of you together decide to do. I would make sure he understands and accepts the responsabilaties that are needed to be takin care of at home and is willing to keep up with them.

I think it is terrible. Call me old fashion, but I believe the man should want to take care of the woman. I am a grad student and will have a good career, so I don't believe that a woman's place is in the home, but if someone does it should be the woman. I'm so sick of men today taking advantage of and living off women. The man I marry must make the same or more money than me and take care of me and the kids...I didn't work so hard to give it to a man..which is what any woman is doing if the man stays home.

What ever works for you that is what you should do. There is nothing wrong with the man of the house doing the cooking,shopping, cleaning,getting the kids ready for school and so on. I do this now and still work away from the house as does my wife. I do it to help her and it's just doing my part. If I stayed home I would have all the work done by 1 pm so I could watch Springer!

My husband and I did it, but it's not for everyone. My husband had a job that he absolutely hated, and we were also considering a move out of state. We refinanced our house, put money in the bank and paid off our bills. While we thought about our next move, he stayed at home. He literally kept the house up and I worked. Six months later we decided to move; he did just about all the packing, dealt with contractors and guys doing repairs and was available to let realtors in to see the house. We've moved, he's working and I'm staying at home-- indefinitely. When I begin to feel a little guilty about not working, he says "Go out and do what you want. It's your turn!" Having a stay at home husband isn't for everyone. You must sit and talk about the parameters (How long will he stay home? What do you expect him to do while you're working? How comfortable are each of you with the role reversal?) Your relationship has to be on solid ground. It worked well for us.

Hi I know several couples whom that works out quite well for, she is a medical doctor and he is a psychologist raising the kids at home. They are very happy and the children get the best of both worlds, they make a great time and have a lot of quality time. She is very feminine and he is still very masculine they have more than one child...a family in this world needs to work as a system that is effective and if it can be affored financially esp when the children are small then this is very nice.....

if it works for ya, hey go for it. Every family is different. There is nothing wrong with a guy staying at home and taking care of the kids and women working if they have a career that pays more than the guy, or say the guy has a job that he can work at home.

It's working great for my guy and me right now. I know he is upset that he is not working, but he has fixed so many things around the house that I want him to finish building closets and storage areas, remodel the kitchen, paint the living room, and any other things that come up. I don't mind going to work each day when I know he is going to be there for me when I get home each day.

Aslong as the man does all the house wife things then it's okay. my sister works and her husband stays at home and does absolutely nothing 24-7 except play games. It sucks

Hmmm...sometimes it look quite weird and sometimes ok..Actually it depends on the spouse,the lifestyle of their family;family situation,the way others accept this kind of lifestyle.. and etc..In some country this situation is normal.So in this 21st century we just not have housewife we also have househusband.
A husband that look after children,cooking,sweeping and don't get suprised if shopping will be their hobby as they are a househusband....!They need to shop everything just like a housewife did.
