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.

While I’m bitching about everything

Where is supposing they are actually raising their children” frankly when I look around most middle and upper middle class couples I see out here in White Landia

Are not raising their kids they just have them and support them financially and send them to fancy schools but the actual raising like decent manners responsibility discipline there’s very little of that how many times have I’ve been in the grocery store and I see the mom tell the kid over and over and over to quit doing something and they never do a damn thing about it they just talk and the dad‘s are not much different as I push the stroller along or carry the baby bag in their skinny jeans while they get in their Volvo or they’re Subaru men with neck beards that exude estrogen like some sort of lemming jumping off the cliff of their hair follicles estrogen estrogen estrogen I’m a pussy but I make good money

I’m 65 but I can tell you this is a whole Nother world about what defines masculinity when I was young men were very masculine and you could get your ass beat for running your mouth and could listened and did not interrupt nonstop and we’re not spoiled even Rich kids

Break up the family anyway you can and you’ve got woke utopia one day

I did not miss the point.

As you have said on this very thread with you bragging about how you wined and dined a "heiress" a guy is nothing but a wallet with legs.

Your seeing yourself as that is kind of sad.

And if you want to talk about "traditional" men used to be very involved with raising their kids. It was not until factories became a thing that men spent most of the day away.

I know when someone does not follow a logical lineal argument you throw out all these hypotheticals to try to refute the person you’re arguing with when that person never said those things maybe we should just call you disingenuous besides being a wimp or a wimpess

Good for them. They are a) heterosexual and b) married. - big pluses in todays world. Their choice of domestic duty makes good sense.

You think your argument is "logical and lineal"?

I suppose "Men are nothing but wallets with legs and should never try to be anything else, especially to their children or they are not men" is lineal. Not so sure about logical.

Why not go on welfare and BOTH stay home full time?

If husband and wife are in agreement and the goal is mutual, then I say congrats to both on a plan well executed.

Amen to that. Fathers working at home, showing kids how to work. That was the way of life for a long, long time. That other dude is just stirring the pot.

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

The problem gets worse over time, trying to explain himself away as, who knows, a ‘day trader’ or something? Eventually you get friction, then worse...

Definitely Not Guilty, but still a bit too ‘high power’ for me. I prefer a wife that I don’t have to compete against on a daily basis.

“And I started screwing the real men at work.”

I suspect that’s why so many of those ‘non-traditional’ marriages fail.
