Since I know a "stay at home dad" I have to say he is just a great dad. No way is he lazy, in fact he even home schools his kids by himself. I think part of it has to do with the fact that he is still very much a kid himself in the aspect that he is still fascinated by the world around him. They go on some fantastic "field trips" as part of their curriculum...as result of his teaching skills his eldest graduated high school (here they allow home schooled kids to graduated with public high schools and to attend social functions at the high schools as well) shortly after her sixteenth birthday, and the schools have even implemented some of HIS ideas in their own curriculum. How's that for a lazy man who doesn't want to work?

Housewives and househusbands are great if they do a good job. It is no easy task if you are doing it right. It is just as important as the partner who goes out and earns the money to provide for the family. There are definate pros and cons for both types. Cooperation and a happy family life makes it worth it.

Stay at home mothers and fathers have a job just like their spouse who works. The difference, they dont get paid. For some men it is okay, but you can tell a sorry man or woman from a mile away because they are sorry all the way around. But if this man is cleaning, cooking, doing laundry and adequately taking care of the kids, then he is doing his thing!!!

Can you afford to live on one income? I dont think its a problem if the "mom" goes to work and the "dad" stays at home with the kids. Does he cook, clean and do laundry? Are the kids kept clean? Men expect that out of women. What is the difference? If it works for you and your man, that is all that matters. If it doesnt work, change it!

Nope because there job is just as hard if they were working a nine to five job. They have to raise the kids and that is a big job itself because they are shaping there kids for entering society.
That question can an apply to the housewives that choose to stay at home. You know?
People take housewives and husbands for granted.
I work in kindergarten so I know the job that you do and it is not easy.

I've noticed that most house-hubbies are just lazy men who saw a codependent woman and married her. Of course the really manipulative men don't even marry the women they take advantage of. These men don't want to work, they feel there female counterparts make enough money. They believe it's women's work to take care of the home and that it takes money to keep a home. The believe she makes enough money to take care of the home so she should be the one working. (I have literally heard this out of the mouths of men) With this "logic", they negate all responsibility in there minds and are able to take advantage of her without any feeling of guilt. I have found the vast majority fit into this category and the very few men out there that have a sense of honor and are house-hubbies take a huge knock in self-esteem due to opportunistic men out there.
At the base level, actions speak louder than words. If the man is pulling his weight in the same way a housewife would, his self-esteem should be high enough to ignore the morons who label him. The truth of the matter is that, due to daycare costs, it is wiser for one parent to stay home and take care of the children. Daycare costs, dependent on how many children there are, sometimes match one of the parents wages. In that case, it is wiser to just have one parent take care of the children and home and the other to take care of expenses. In that case, it is wiser to have the breadwinner be the person who makes the most money. More and more often women are falling into this role.
I truly believe that men are now starting to come to grips with there altered role in today's society. Women established that there is no differentiation between men's work and women's work quite a few decades ago. It is just within the last decade that men, a newer generation, are starting to understand that there roles are unlimited as well. Many are starting to realize that doing once was considered "women's work" is not the least bit effeminate. Men are starting to see women as equals and not feel less of a man to be compared to a women (IE. "women's work"). Women are not inferior to men. Some societies hold on to the belief that women are and limit there society in many ways due to this fallacy.
When it all comes down to brass tacks, work is work. If it works for you, your wife and children, it works. Forget the people in your life that do not contribute to the well being of your family but seem to find the time to judge, berate and offer negative criticism; leave them to their empty minds and hearts.

My preliminary question/concept on your question is "what could reason so little motivation in a guy to no longer choose for to pursue a profession or be financially good?" That being reported, my opinion is that I probably does no longer be drawn to a minimum of one that lacks this motivation. and that i probably does no longer appreciate a guy who resides off a spouse or significant other and not contributing as a provider (that's in basic terms me). As for a stay-at-domicile-dad, that isn't sending a suited paintings ethic message to the toddlers --- they won't discover themselves interior the comparable snug difficulty as adults and not have a clue a thank you to bypass approximately being financially efficient in step with how they have been raised. those days of doubtful financial circumstances i've got faith that all people, male and woman, could be contributing to the economy via producing earnings. So usually people place self belief in the government (or blame them) while there's a recession and anticipate them to bail their relatives out. It takes a village to make contributions to the substantial different and childrens, whether it somewhat is something as reliable as financial and overall performance-modeling, or something habitual mutually with cleansing and cooking. on the different area...I understand there is the case the place the lady makes sufficient money for the two. it may paintings if the guy has sufficient different endearing characteristics, to no longer point out that ingredient spoke of as love...if love is powerful sufficient and this may be a reliable guy different than the paintings ethic, consistent with danger a compromise may be reached, or he may be inspired and triggered to offer earnings. there are maximum of the right thank you to make money from domicile recently. you could in basic terms wish that satisfaction could finally floor.

It depends. If they are part of a marriage where the other has to be out of the house because of her profession and outstanding bills,it's really no one's business.But if it's because she's nasty and lazy and can't stand being around the kids,no.

Depends on the individual guy. Some are great fathers, and others are pure lazy.
