After having our 2nd child, my husband and I decided one of us should stay home. Since I made more money, he became a stay-at-home dad.

I agree with this article. A stay at home father is so much better than day care.

At least the kids will eat well. Mom at home is better though.

He’ll always be her bit@h. And submissive. He isn’t the man of the house.

It is amusing how the replies on this thread see dad as nothing more then a wallet with legs.

My best friend is a stay at home dad. His wife is a teacher. Two kids, not toddlers. He does a little trading on Ebay, mostly Star Wars (he has the largest collection I’ve ever seen), and he has a couple of regular saxophone gigs.

It’ll be ok as long as he does the shopping, laundry and has dinner ready when his “wife” gets home. LOL

If they divorce, does he get at least half of everything because he had to ‘sacrifice by benefiting the domestic relationship by caring for the kids’ while she brought home the bacon, thereby putting him at an economic disadvantage?
Sorry for taking the topic there, but I have my suspicions a good portion of the judges wont see it that way even though they usually do when the genders are flipped.

Is that because he’ll probably spend his time wanking off instead of the watching the kids…?

Having a mother and a father is best. Doesn’t matter which one is getting the income,

a father is not a mother....

shame on daddy that he didn't have valuable work skills so he could provide the nest for his children and their mother....

that's the point....traditional men's roles were to provide the home environment.....

too many men seem to think they can be flunkies and dabble at their work and then just abandon it all together....

this is not the way society should be headed....

we need traditional marriage roles....

I can guarentee that in a couple of yrs when the kids are in in school full time there will be growing resentment....

Was this article written in 1980? There’s absolutely nothing new here. Maybe the author dusted off a 1980 article and updated it.
