it is biased and it bring women back to the old days when they were thought of as property by some....in fact sometimes to some people we still are....... I believe both men and women can earn the money and both men and women can stay home to be the "homemakers"

There is no rule that is has to be a certain way but when I am married that is how I think it should be for me. I would rather have the man wear the pants while I stayed at home taking care of kids and the house. Im a very particular person and like the laundry and dishes done a certain way so it would be good for me. I also dont want to pay someone else to spend 8-9 hours a day with my child while I go sit in an office. Id rather raise my kids on my own without sending them somewhere every day. I feel better in a relationship where the man wants to be the bread winner and take care of needs. If you really loved a person and were married then you should feel safe enough to rely on him, its not like once you decide to be a homemaker you have to do that, you can always go and find a job.

I think society would be better if there was a loving, caring relative at home for the children full time. It could be a mom,dad, grandparent or whatever - as long as the person was there because they wanted to be, and not because "society" dictated it.
And when the working person or persons are home, they need to be a part of the children's' lives, not just bill payers and cohabitants.
But this world is not particularly centered on the well-being of its children. And a patriarchal society has shown to be not particularly workable for the children or for the women.

Honestly, that might work out but no one is right 100% of the time. Thinking you are right 100% of the time is the origin of ignorance. Too much ignorance is operating in too many people to say that this group or that group is always best at anything.
Even then it might not be a bad idea but WAY TOO few men possess both common sense and compassion.

I think it may or may not be good. Either sex can work or run a home! But running a home isn't simple!! Neither is caring for children. A woman does like to work & be away from the house {like me}, but it's not always easy!! A woman should have a choice whether she works or not. No one can tell a woman YOU ARE GOING TO WORK OR YOU AREN'T GOING TO WORK. It'a a matter of choice & at times a matter if you can afford a daycare or babysitter for young children. Hope this helps some!

Honestly,with the way things are so expensive now a days, there is no way a men can work one job and bring in a single income and be able to survive, unless they are making good money then maybe but the average person needs two incomes coming into the home.

I think it is a good idea. That is how things were in the beginning and it is how the bible says it should be. Today, women don't get much respect or credit if they are a stay at home mom or a housemaker, while it is an equally if not harder occupation than most.
I only hope that the man in question was a good man who didnt use his "i pay the bills" for superiority over his wife.

um, yes and no.... alot of smart business decisions are made by women and they definitely have a place in the work force. The man and woman should share responsibilities equally and how they choose to do so is up to them, some households its the exact opposite of what you said, the woman goes out and makes the money while the man stays home caring for the children and doing the majority of chores. Personally in my household me and my husband both work full time jobs and split the chores. But thats the way me and him were both raised that all of our parents (mothers and fathers) were all hard workers.

That's only a good idea while children are at preschool age. After that, being a homemaker isn't a full time job.

Now a days you need two incomes to survive! I worked full time, plus took care of the kids and the house, laundry, dishes, etc...
so what was the question?
