A stay at home mom is even better.
New age movie — the Breastfeeding Dad.
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.
220-221, whatever it takes.
He’s going to join the HOA and start writing blogs next.
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.
Whatever works....
true, but from what i’ve read, they always get bitter...
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.
Was this article written in 1980? There’s absolutely nothing new here. Maybe the author dusted off a 1980 article and updated it.
I’m going to become a stay-at-home Dad next week.
I’ve been working since 1963.
When I came home, the house looked like 2 kids lived there. My wife wouldn’t tolerate that if I were staying home.
My son and d-i-l home-school their children. At first she stayed at home but during the initial Covid lock-downs, he ended up home and she ended up at work. They found the kids did better at their school work under his watch. So, he manages the household, cooks all the meals (he is a chef by trade), and supervises the kids schooling, while she works. They both like the arrangement although they admit it might change should one or the other decide they aren’t pleased with the current arrangements. It works well for them and the kids. I see nothing wrong with it.
Whatever works for them is fine with me, though many women seem to resent it when they become the breadwinners themselves and seem to lose some respect for their partners when they go this route.
This is going to be happening more and more as men are only 40% of college grads, and falling. And in the UN men are only 30% of college grads, and falling. Very quickly women will be the higher earners in the US and UK.
A strong work ethic is also a valuable lesson.
My son just married a young woman who was raised by a stay at home dad while her husband executive “c suite” mom worked. It will be interesting to see what they do when they start having kids. Usually it does make sense for the higher earner to keep working (or one or both of them could work PT).
