You would be taking on the role as sole breadwinner. Your husband would be home doing housework and childcare. You'd be taking the laptop to the office and your husband would be donning the apron.
How would your life be? Would the house be clean? Would the food be good? Would the children like it? Would you enjoy being the breadwinner?

My kids would be calling me at work every 5 minutes. Then I'd have to get on the phone and chew hubby's *** and tell him he better feed the kids and get the house cleaned by the time I get home or all **** is gonna hit the fan.

Well, considering I am a single parent. That would be wonderful for someone to pick up the load at home. I personally, have never been a house wife or home maker. I enjoy working outside of the home. And I really think it is a very individual choice, some women enjoy staying at home raising the children and this is a full time job. And some men do stay home while the wife is the bread winner. I think whatever works for them is fine. God bless****

I've done it, I've been a stay at home dad, the kids were fed, and I got to be a pretty good cook, I like it better with me working, but at the time, I was having difficulties finding work, and also recovering from a pretty serious accident I was in a few years ago. But I had no problems with my wife being the breadwinner, I just was glad when I was able to get back to working, to help her support the kids better.

I think its perfectly fine if the wife goes out & works while the husband stays home. I know of someone who did do that & it went well. Guys can cook, they are good cooks infact, b/c they know what their tummy wants, lol. I think the kids would be fine with it. They would adjust & the house would get a daily routine. If you establish daily things, the house chores would be taken care of as well. In the end, everything would be just as if you were the one staying home & he was out making money. *added thought, I think woman enjoy being out & having a job other than being a mom. Making money gives them a sense of confidence.

The house would be a pig pen......the kids would be mad because they wouldn't be able to do anything. I would have grilled steak, chicken of hamburgers for dinner with no sides.........WHAT A NIGHT MARE!
I love my Sweetie but he's not a home maker and if he was that type, I would not like it. I am not attracted to a man that is in touch with his feminine side. My Sweetie has big working man arms that I love to be wrapped up in after he and I come home from a hard days work. No offense intented for Mr. Mom. It takes all kinds to make this world go round. I just happen to Love my hard workin' excavating Man.

Unexplained transformations in habitual are a very hardship-free pink flag of affairs. yet you assert he hasn't been mendacity about the position he's been.......i am going to take you at your note in this.

Is he satisfied and upbeat in some unspecified time sooner or later, then depressed the subsequent? Has he been sleeping a lot more desirable those days? Has he been sleeping a lot less? Have his eating habit replaced? if you're frightened, you could get a pattern of his hair, and performance it examined.....

My husband and I did this and it worked fine. He was getting his MBA at night and it is confident enough with himself and my success that it worked fine. Our son loved it, the house was in good shape, and he is a much better cook than I am. I am home now that we have two, and he is working, and he was better at staying home than I am.
The hard part was the social piece. When we went out with couples the other men usually had a hard time relating to us. That part we really didn't like.

there is nothing wrong when the husband stayed home unless he knows about house work. when i was living with my ex i do work and house work means do everything for the house like cleaning , cooking and etc. i think you should be thankful to see your husband at home doing it for you but i have a question does your husband work? or maybe he just want stay home don't wanna work.

i wouldn't like it. both me and my husband work full time and have no kids as of yet. however, my primary goal is to spend as much time with my kids as i can when we have them. whichmeans hopefully one day being a stay at home mom. i know for some women that would be torture but I feel that staying home and nuturing my family is more rewarding than climbing up the job ladder. i dont mind working now, in fact i love my job. but when the time comes i hope there is a time when i can stay home and watch my kids grow up.

I tried this at my husband's request and it was disasterous. He wanted to still LEAD which means I worked all day and he wanted me to turn over the money and decision making to him. Men usually have shorter patience than women, so he was more stressed out than when he was working. the kids were stressed out, and didn't respect him as he wanted because of the non-traditional role. He took on womanly characteristics such as needing to be listened to, held...it was gross. Sex got boring because he didn't do anything for me to make me respect him. it could work if the parameters on respect, money and duty is predefined and both parties are totally buy into it.
