Default Would You Be Willing to be a Stay-Home Dad?

Imagine that your wife earns significantly more than you and your kids are very young and needs a parent at home. Guys, would you be willing to be a stay-home Dad? Or wld you insist that your wife (who is willing) quit her job and stay home instead?

Not an issue to me.

As a matter of fact, did you know that if we count the task/skill required for a women to be a homemaker and take care of children, studies reveal that they'll earn no less then 8k a month.

Just a penny for thoughts.

Is society today such that women who are more superior financially, etc equates men "eating soft rice"?

We may say what an open society we are, men and women of equal balance and authority, etc..... really so?

I think most will still skew towards not being a home dad

I wished for that. But playing with my girl is ok. I'm still not as thoughtful as my wife can be.

The power of motherly instinct is a force of limitless love. I thank my wife for that.

Why not? I'd stay at home, look after the kids, cook the meals, handle the housework and play my online games.

me...my opinion is NO....
I will do my very best to support the family even wife is doing better then me.
If I am successful in later life...then i rather my wife to rest at home.
If even successful in much later in my life.....both of us no need to work...kekekeke!

A man got to do what a man should do....not staying at home to do house work....
if man don't want to work then go play Golf!!!

cheer to all man....let be man not maid!

I would find some way to earn income even when I'm at home so I would still have some bargaining power in my hands should anything bad happens between me and my spouse.

Default Re: Would You Be Willing to be a Stay-Home Dad?

I dun mind, if my wife dun mind. If she can earn alot than me and really need a parent at home, i dun really mind. I have no confident with maid and my parents had already stated that they wont look after their grand children.

I rather be a stay home dad than to make my family suffer with lower financial setting.

In case, ppl think stay home parent is an easy task, please think again... Just taking care of the children is already a major headache. Imagine you have to do all the housework and still taking care of the children, esp their safety even in the house.
