i think its fine, if the couple are happy with it,,,, there are many jobs/roles that a family has need for,,,,, it doesnt matter who does what, as long as it gets done and no one feels pressured or limited to just role

There's nothing wrong with that at all. If a woman has a job/career that is important to her and it pays the bills. By all means. It's 2006. There's nothing wrong with a Mr. Mom. Of course if it's just a matter of the man being lazy he needs to get off is butt and work. If the kids are taken care of and there's no reason for him to be home. He needs to work and help out. I am the bread winner and my boyfriend takes care of the kids because we can't afford any kind of day care or sitter. He also knows how to cook and clean. It works fine but he's expected to pull his share. If he wants to "play" he can do an odd job and find his own play money. Once the kids are old enough he's expected to get a job and pull his share.

If i made enough money then my husband would stay home. He works shift work so we are able to share the responsibility of caring for our son during the day. I bring him to work with me when my hubby is working days and on his days off he is at home with the boy. It works out pretty good, but my husband has expressed to me many times that he would love to stay home with the boy and take care of the house. Hopefully in a few years i can find a job that pays enough to make that happen. I would love to stay home with my son to, but i also like having a career and would be completely content with my husband being the homemaker.

That would be awesome if the guy really stepped up and played the part. Unfortunately I was the bread winner AND the homemaker while my EX sat on his sorry a$$ and did nothing. I love getting a paycheck!!! Now I don't have to share it with his sorrybu**!!

My husband (we are separated now-no children) was at home a lot, because he was just trying to get his business off ground and he had extra time. he eventually began to be a good house husband,,,it took some time...but also, in the end, I ran into some unexpected financial difficulties...he was really unwilling/unmotivated to get a supplemetary job to help out. All the laundry and dishwashing in the world didn;t help that. I think it could work if both spouses realize that in times of need, they need to step up to the plate..no matter if it's breadwinning or ironing.

I got to do this for about a year just before and as my older daughter was starting pre-K. It was great! I loved spending time with my daughter, but my wife was kind of a nag if everything wasn't kept perfectly clean in the house, lol. I thought I did a good job. In any case, now we both work, so those days are over and our younger daughter is in 3rd grade.

In todays world it is not all that common to see.... my husband hauls concrete so he is laid off in the winter... at that time he is mr mom and I continue to work full time... he has taken care of our youngest daughter every winter since she was born and let me tell you... he's good at it. LOL
How do I feel about it? I love him even more that he is willing to take over the role of "homemaker" there are men out there that would refuse to lift a finger.

nicely, no longer all adult adult males are like this even though a guy could desire to be safeguard in himself to no longer experience threatened. adult adult males are taught from an exceedingly youthful age that they could desire to be the carriers. They experience that an aggressive lady will provide the visual charm of him no longer being waiting to grant for his relatives. the only ingredient you're able to do is construction up his self image and verify out to no longer coach your aggressiveness too plenty around others. that is to no longer say be a wilted flower whilst others are around yet keep your aggressiveness to products that don't difficulty him or the relatives.

Did you know that they have a contest to find the person who can iron best? And quess who wins everytime? A man. And what about chef cooks? The best are men. I think they would do alot better in the house then at war.

not a problem---we have a friend they have reverse role in their home and it gives them great joy--she loves her job makes lots of money--he is home with the kids and does all domestic chores , along with this some children respond better to dad than to mom -so-maybe in some families this is a blessing.
