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 volunteered to my wife to do that and she laughed.

Oh well.

It's FR. There are children posing as adults. Liberals posing as conservatives. Idiots posing as rational.

Pick a topic and state a position. No matter what you say, the naysayers will crawl out of the woodwork to disagree.

To all you whiny FReepers that are full of crap:
I was a stay at home Dad for several years. My wife had an established job and making decent money. I stayed home, took care of the home front, and was going to college.
I’m not anyone’s bitch. I’m not a cuck. I’m not a beta. I am now working and the MRS. is staying home.
A stay at home Dad is 100% better than day care.

In old America, going back just a few decades, Mom didn’t have to work. Cars, homes, rent, food were all reasonable.

My folk’s first home was brand new and they did it on ONE income, and this was California!

The generations that followed simply got robbed and screwed.

Good post.
FR has become the all or nothing marketplace of ideas.
God bless your family.

A stay at home mom is even better.

Probably. But a stay at home dad is much better than a daycare.

A stay at home either is awesome.

God bless them.

When America started it’s downhill decline, was when things got so expensive, it took two incomes to raise a family, mortgage etc. That was right around 1968-1970....

And things went downhill fast in every direction since.

Absoultely agree. My SIL decided to work a dignified but low paying job because the kids came early and my daughter was closer to graduation.

Her career really took off when her company transferred her to Japan. It made sense for both of them. Their grandsons are seriously well-behaved, Dad is a great cook and my daughter's feelings of guilt are lessened big-time by a supportive husband.

It’s actually amusing how you completely missed the point about a father and home yet you were somehow so smug about it

Well I agree, I say if the Dad is the logical one to stay home and be the homemaker, while the wife brings home the bacon, all the power to him.

It doesn't have to be an exclusively "feminine" thing to be a homemaker.

But it is the exception. If I proposed something like that to my wife, she'd laugh her head off. She would never consider that arrangement because she'd rather be the one at home.

Every exchange you have had on this thread you throw out strawman after strawman that no one said

that is what leftist do honestly

Most Americans particularly people who believe in traditional values and family structure like most of a sheer find it weird the man is a homemaker no that’s fine for you good luck I don’t want any part of it

I was in a relationship with an heiress

Mid 1980s and I still paid for most everything we did enjoy her families homes all over the world but that was about it everything else I paid for she didn’t have a problem with that even though she was a famous she kind of enjoyed the traditional southern Guy protective chivalry all that bullshit

Girls don’t want that they can marry a metrosexual hipster from Chicago or Ithaca

The HOA sent us an email tonight that all Christmas wreaths will need to be off the doors by Jan 6.

There will be old ladies walking around with clipboards on Jan 7 to make sure of that.

Trying to explain how this is somehow preferable to human history such recorded time is like when people want to ask you what is a woman or yes men can have babies or transsexuals or normal or why have borders basically all the nonsense woke people talk it is so nonsensical that the need to explain it or defend against it almost seems ridiculous

G war daddy what’s wrong with dad big Mr. mom I feel like if I have to explain it to your dumb ass then you were lost already
