My husband stays home and takes care of our children and the housework and so many people have to dis on him and say things like he is a "loser" and "kick him to the curb". But we are both ok with this, I go to work and he takes care of everything else. He has a medical problem with his ears that prevents him from working at the moment and I have to say I enjoy having him home and not having to worry about housework and stuff like that. And I have more time to enjoy the kids. I just don't understand why people say it is perfectly ok for a woman to have this role, but when it come to a man people seem to think it is wrong. Why is this?

I think it's perfectly fine, as long as someone's with the kids, who cares! much better than sticking them in childcare. my husband and i have discussed this a few times, and we both would prefer for him to stay home and me work. You're not alone in this thought! I guess people look down on it though because it's traditionally the wife's role to raise the kids, and the husband's to work. but i'm not one to always go with tradition!! if it works for you, tell those rude people so, and let them know that at least you and your family's happy, that's all that matters.

its called sterotyping.
the whole world sees that a man should work and the woman should be at home.
its the same when people say women cant do a mans job.
its utter crap.
these people live in the dark ages.
there are loads of guys who stay home with their kids while their wife or partner work and i think these guys deserve a pat on the back its not easy for anyone male or female to bring up kids and run a home.
i think what your doing is great if it works for you then sod everyone else.
the way i see it is that both of you get to play an active roll in your kids lives.
some guys who work dont have time for their kids when they been at work all day.
this way your hubby plays a major part during the day and you have more time for the kids when you get in cos your their mum and youve missed them while youve been at work.
fair play to both of you i wouldnt kick him to the curb id grab a hold of him real tight tell him how much you love him and never let him go.
dont let what other people say bother you do whats best and whats right for you and your family.
my kids would love to have their dad at home all day

Helloooo)))) We are already in the 21st century. It doesn't matter who will stay at home to take care of the kids and the household chores. What matters most is that...you're family is intact...your family life is going strong...you love each other and doing well. Who cares...what other people say. Just stay focus...be strong...believe in each other. These people could not even give you a pinch of salt in your dire times of need. Keep up the good work...and live up to your marriage vows. In sickness or in health...for richer or poorer...whether it's you or him staying at home...for as long as you love each other...now is the time to show to the world and to those "ignoramus" that Having a happy family life...is how we make it! Go girl!!!

some people still live in cave man days. i think it is great that your husband takes care of the kids! I stay at home to take care of mine and love it, but my husband can't watch them for more than an hour without going out of his mind!

Well................if all the men stayed at home..................... and all the women worked............................ how much comfort and care would children get? Most guys would let the kids run around and go crazy....while they watch sports all day. God gave mothers a special love for kids and I think God gave men a special way to always have a "head" for their work....not like us women who feel depressed, moody or cranky once a month. What would happen to the whole world at THAT time if we ran everything? LOL!

I know a lot of mom daddies. When my husband was on strike I worked and he become Susy homemaker and did a wonderful job. He did get a change to see what it meant to be a house wife. I get a lot more help out of him since he went back to work. It was a real learning experience for both of us. I say good for you both.

well congrates for having such a lovely husband. well i think that others are jealoused of you and your hubbies life style as you both enjoy alot. plus they think so because they are grown in surroundings where people have such mentality that womens job is to take care of house and kids and mens is to work but you are really a good example to such cheap mentality people. life goes on withs one's own wish and life style and others are idiot who poke their big nose in others matters as by anyones talking you are not going to change your life style. so stop listening to losers and be happy with your sweet and adorable husband. all the best for your life ahead.

Dont mind all this achaic human beings. there is nothing wrong with a man taking care of his kids at home or household chores if he is willing. they are jealous. ride on with your understanding live, i appreciate men who help at home. appreciate your husband and congratulate every little assistants he renders to you.Dont look at what people say, everybody has his or her bed to lie on. afterall the women were created as complement or helpmate to their husbands.

its something people grow up with, thinking its the guys duty to work and the womans job to sit home with kids. its perfectly healthy either way. i guess it just depends on peoples beliefs
