What do you think of Dads that don't work?

Answer 1

It depends on the family situation. There was a point in my marriage where I made really good money and my husband stayed at home. He took care of our son, kept the house clean, cooked dinner and took care of his elderly mother at the same time. It made more sense than to hire a sitter or daycare. I worked long hours and didn't feel like doing housework much when I got home and didn't really enjoy using my 2 days off a week just for housework. I liked using my days off to spend quality time with my family. Now things are a little different. Our son is older and I don't have that great paying job anymore...and now he works. I say it just depends on the situation.

Answer 2

I think if a dad dont work just because then they are a low life, selfish, controlling, and just dont care about there family kind of dad. I grew up with a dad who worked his butt off. He worked 6 days a week 14 hour days on cars in a garage, nonstop work, where he caught himself on fire, and everything else. When he got off work he worked on cars at home for money. He never sat down. He would only sleep for 3-4 hours a night. He is now 47 years old and still is the same way. He takes care of his family both financially and emotionally. He made us feel special. I can never repay him for this. U made me realize how much my dad means to me. Thank you very much... Now I am crying...

Answer 3

They are great if they help around the house. If dad doesnt work outside of the house then he damn sure has to work inside the house. I have a 4 year plan with my husband. He works 4 years, then It switches off and I work for years. It sounds a little crazy but working your whole life with out a break is horrible. Plus with the time off we both get to spend awsome time with our kids.

Answer 4

well, as long as he's doing the the 'work' on the homefront w/the kids & making dinner for the working mom (i assume), that's ok w/me. he's taking some of the load off the mom. however, if he's a slob & making himself a pest more than an asset then he needs to get himself a job asap!!!!!

Answer 5

Well you can't think anything unless you know their real problem. Some just need to grow up and learn to be a man and some, I just feel sorry for. But for the ones who need to grow up, I think they need to be put into shape and learn how to be a man since your already a dad.

Answer 6

Kali, you really are stirring things up. Again, like the moms, it depends on the situation. If he's being the caregiver and her the provider, that's cool. If she's busting her__s and he sits and drinks and makes her be mom and dad, I'd be willing to loan mom my 12ga. shotgun to pepper his lazy butt with.

Answer 7

That's a Puff Daddy

Answer 8

Every man should you my husband has a learning disabilty and still makes 50,000 a yr so if he can do in any man can

Answer 9

that depends, if they stay home, take care of the house and children, I think they're great

if they sit on the couch while mom does everything, they suck. (and so does mom for not kicking his *ss to the curb)

Answer 10

Depends on what else they're doing. If they're sitting on their drunk asses, I'm not impressed. If they're taking care of kids? You better believe I'll gladly be impressed.
