or someone who can keep a clean, beautiful house, cook nutritious food, take the best care of the children ? It's simply not possible to do all three well when the woman has to go to work,...

Im all for women staying at home and taking care of children and house. One parent always has to be at the childrens beck and call. Not only that but when one parent is always home taking care of little things around the house everything works out smoother. When I come home from work, Im going to be stressed out and not in the bessed of moods. Im going to need a woman who can relax me and relieve my stress.
When a woman and man are both working, they both come home stressed and neither is really able to relax the other. The kids then suffer. When both parents are working the children usually go to day care. Your paying for complete strangers to raise your children? Im not going to have children, only to pay for some strangers to raise them.
Couples seem to forget how special their homes are. And that its a full time job to maintain a positive,happy,clean environment at home. I think a lot of American families view their homes as temporary. A stepping stone to a bigger house. And so they dont put in the time and energy to make their little stepping stone a real home. All in All when one parent is home to keep the house and kids together, it helps the parent who is working to recharge and have more energy to make more money.

I disagree that it is not possible to do all three. First of all, have you ever considered the possibility that perhaps all three get done well in some households (which they do) because the *man* stays home with the children while the woman works? Stay-at-home fathers are becoming more and more common.
Second, I know plenty of couples where both the man and the woman work (far, far more than where either stays home, in fact) and these couples keep clean houses and have intelligent, polite, kind children.
Finally, I urge you to remember that quite frankly, not all women (or men for that matter), whether they work or not, are capable of such things. Some people are not suited to be lawyers, some people are not suited to be doctors, some people are not suited to be teachers....And in much the same way, some people are not suited to cook, clean, and care for children all day. Each person is unique, male and female alike. It's all about what each person feels they are best at, and what gives them the most satisfaction, whether that's a career, a family, or a combination of both at once.

I think most men prefer a working woman, but not all. I've worked for 10 yrs., but have stayed at home for the last couple of years cause it was just too much to take care of the house and kids and work, along with all the running back and forth I was doing to pick my youngest up from my mom's who kept him while I worked. Right now my husband would rather I stay at home, too, but if I wanted to work he would also support that. My son just turned 3 today, and I'm thinking about going back to school within the next year to be a pharmacy tech. By the time I got done with school the youngest would be starting school.

Most people are practical and in today's complex life that is needed too.
If more money is needed to support the lifestyle - working woman works perfect. If the lifestyle demands clean, beautiful house, taking care of children etc. a homemaker works good.
Best option:- Working woman with high enough income to to hire outside help for cleaning, cooking, laundry and taking care of kids.

On a larger scale, you want to know if men like women who can take care of themselves. The answer is yes. They like it better when a woman isn't dependent on them. However, they also like a woman who's a good nurturer. It is possible to do all three and work, but I've always felt that it's easier to choose between the two lifestyles. I'm choosing work.

Yes, a woman should work these days. This way, women don't take for granted the difficulties men endure in making a living. As far as the housework/kids, who gives a crap? This is not work. Earning money is a harsh difficult thing and cowing out by taking the homemaker route is no longer acceptable. In short ladies, get your asse-s out there and earn a buck just like men have to do!

I think men like to have nice things; which can be obtained through two incomes, but he has to realize that if you work....
That's called a 50/50 relationship! If you both work, then you both clean, cook and take care of the kids together! It all can balance if you help eachother!

I dont think so because. because mostly of the man they didn't know much around the house . but they could help. by sharing and help the family. work-out especially if they work together and i believe the best is help each other. so that it is easier to both side.

That depends on the beliefs/ideas/preferences of the individual man. All men don't agree on the kind of woman they want in their lives just as all women don't agree on the kind of man they want to share their lives with.
