I have not seen to many of these relationships end up lasting after the kids are a little older.The woman side always ends up resenting the guy staying home.Just like the reverse the man alot of the time resents the woman staying home even though this is discussed before hand. And the men that I know that stay home do everything a stay at home mom would do,You have to remember there are know guaranties in life Hope for the best prepare for the worst.

Yes I do know a household with such an arrangement.
They have 2 kids, 19 and 22, living with them, (In India, kids generally stay with their parents while they are students) the mother works , the husband is a househusband. their schedule is something like this,
The wife wakes up at 6, wakes up kids if they have to go for class, leaves for work at 8. husband wakes up at around 10, when the maid comes to clean the house. warms/makes lunch for himself and kids. if the clothes are out for drying takes them in, and generally does the little titbits that are required through the day. somedays cooks dinner, or else wife comes home at 7 in the eve and cooks dinner. that's pretty much how they manage their households.

My husband was a househusband for about a year. It worked out great. The house was always clean the laundry done, dinner cooked, he helped the kids with there homework. If things were not done the way I liked them done or if things where not put where i put them I never complained about it. I let him do things the way he liked. i was happy about the way he did things and i always let him know that.

The man is the main caregiver to the children while the wife is at work. This takes a special man to do this as most men do not have the patience, my brother in law did it for awhile and he did an amazing job.

I know of one couple. She was an old co-worker of mine that I worked with 5 years ago. From what I knew about her, she's always been the one to work while her husband stays home and care for the kids. We weren't that close so I am not sure what kind of arrangements they had, but from what I notice is that they have one car for transportation. She gets dropped off and gets picked up. I worked with her for nearly 3 years, and she always seems to complain about him being lazy, not doing house-chores like he was supposed to and no intention of working at all and expects her to be the only one bringing home the bacon.
I lost contact with her after I left the company, but recently reconnected through Myspace. She is now single and caring for her kids herself. Not sure where her ex is now, but it seems enough was enough for her.

Yes, there are some stay-home dads out there. Whatever works for the couple is ok provided they are both happy with that arrangement.

There are style of equivalent numbers of adult adult males and females everywhere. in case you get rid of females from one us of a, you pass away adult adult males there devoid of brides and families. extra single adult adult males make astonishing infantrymen, and not lots else. what share countries are prepared to surrender their females given which you have some extra beneficial dollars? Marriage is rather lots the state's corporation. the way it is practiced has a great impression on the rustic besides as on persons, not that folk such as you care with reference to the rustic. in case you like polygamy and susceptible government, evaluate transferring to Somalia, they have all that there.

I would have to say in my experience he's better off working. Some not all husbands take advantage of the stay at home factors atleast in my experience it has.
