Im stay at home mama and its not easy, theirs cleaning cooking, cleaning dirty dipers and etc. so would you guys rather send your wife to work or for your wife to stay at home and take care of the kids and house? well if your could affort it. when me and my husband got married we talk and we both agree that he was gonna go to work and that i was going to stay at home working, you know cleaning, cooking etc but my friend has 2 kids his husband has enough money for her not to work but he sends her to work even do she gets paid 5.50 an hour so all the money she is making is going for the babysitters plus the kids have to get up at 4 in the morning I think thats wrong.

I agree if the girl has the choice to stay at home or work but if the girl wants to stay at home taking care of the kids and the house then its ok 2 but someguys are selfish and they want to make the wife 2 go to work even if they get paid 5.50 and hour and the babysitter is 40 dollar a day for 2 kids.

I know it said men only, but I had to respond when I read one response that said a woman should work if she has a college education. I completely disagree. I have my BA and it took time and money to get it (not to mention a lot of hard work). I am currently a stay-at-home mom and I do not intend to go back to work until all my children are older. Unless there is a financial need, a woman should stay at home and raise her children. I understand that it can be frustrating and that some women feel they are wasting away at home when they could be working and giving themselves "worth." To those women I say don't have kids yet. If you are not ready to sacrifice your wants and desires for the good of your children, then you are not ready to be a mother. Some women want children but cannot, for one reason or another, stay home. To them I say good luck. They are working because it's for the good of their children. Every situation is different, but unless it's necessary in order to feed, clothe, or shelter your children, moms should raise their own kids instead of giving another adult that opportunity 40 hours each week. Stay-at-home moms are diamonds in the rough. Every man who is married to a woman dedicated enough to sacrifice like that should thank the Lord.

From my own experience, I know that staying at home and taking care of the children all day, 24 hours a day, is a lot more difficult than to go out and work. To top that, most of the time, there's not even enough money for the household if the 'man of the house' does not contribute to household expenses. A stay-at-home mum should be paid for her work at home by the spouse. Some men want their women to do it all like superwomen, when they themselves can't even do the same.

it IS harder to stay at home and take care of your own kids. I heard just the other day, that moms who work, and their kids go to daycare are less stressed ! It's hard to say. What's right for you, might be wrong for them. Sometimes, women start feeling "stuck" at home, like everybodys personal servant, somebodys wife, the maid. Some women start feeling like they've lost a part of themselves. Work can be rewarding.....so can taking care of your own kids ! Choices ! ( I would love someone to "race" my kids. Maybe it'll wear down some of that never-ending energy !)

I would rather that she stay home and watch the children but when our children were home I helped her as much as I possibly could but still kept up with my military duties, still she got tired of the house work and held down a part time job so we had enough money to hire a part time house keeper.

ok, you say if you could afford to have her at home? i would much rather have my wife at home taking care of things. it would do me so much better mentally and emotionally (and spiritually as well) knowing my wife was at home with the kids. but even when they went to school, i wouldnt mind her staying at home taking care of things. i dont have any logic behind all this, this is just a personal thing. i dont have a problem with moms working or dads staying at home or anything. i think its just something between the couple that they decide. my hat is off the stay at home moms OR dads becos its a tough but rewarding and honorable job to raise children.

I would rather have my wife at home raising the kids.Personally I would like my wife to tell me if/when our child said its first word or take its first steps rather then some babysitter..Regardless if you like it or not those chores need to be done.You dont have to clean everyday just pick up.Cooking you have to eat.I mean isnt it just the right thing to do if your husband working his *** off to support you and your family.Its hard for him too.Plus that's what having a family is...!Dont mean any disrespect just answering the question.!

it all depends on the situation. If the lady has a college education I think they should work as well. They went through all the schooling to do sumthing other than stay at home. Nowadays both men and women need to work to make it in the world with prices of everything so high and wages so low. Its a cruel world so most mothers need to work.

I think it should be her decision. If finances are not a problem, why not let her do what she wants? Some women could not stand to be at home all day with the children--it would drive them crazy. For other women, staying at home with the children could be their idea of perfection.

either way would be fine with me, if she wanted to work, she can. Its a matter of if thats what you want to do or not. But I still would help out on the cooking or cleaning.
