I think it's totally dependent on the couple and what they decide to do. I stay at home with our son who is 10 months old. For one, I can't justify spending $1000 a month on daycare to pay someone else to raise my son. What's the point of having kids if you're going to pay someone else to raise them? My husband is not controlling at all. We talk about all issues and we both have a say on where the money goes.

I think it is great for one parent to stay home and be with the kids. I think it is better for the children. But I also know it is not possible in every relationship. I do think men dominate their spouses more if they don't work. I no longer work (long story) And I have seen my husband get more domineering when it come sto thinks. he is trying to act mor elik ehis dad. But I hate to tell him ..if he continues he will get a divorce instead.

Coolgeth,
A man has no right to treat his woman like that. just because he had a bad day. She will never understand his work made his stressed. She will think it was all her. Or worse. I have been divorced before. So I know all to well what divorce can do and bring. If the husband won't talk or say what is upsetting. Than there is nothing the woman can do. But she should not be expected to put up with his attitude.
Not all woman let a man dominate her. Sometimes she has no other choice. I really think your percentage is rather high. If it was the womans fault. Than I doubt we would see as much male domination as we do through out the world today.

yes rusty2rusty!! There are mens who dominates their spouses. But sometimes house womens they themselves think that they are been dominated when their husband talks something harsh, fights with you..
This may occur because of some other problems may be their work stress or they may feel that money is not enough to cover the monthly expenses.There may be reason's behind that find out what the exact thing your husband thinks, sit and talk with your husband..If there is a financial situation that you need to support your family then you should go to work..
Think well and divorce is defenetily not a solution.. Hope you will have a peacefull and good life..

There is no domination in my marriage. I was Mr Mopm as I stayed home while the wife worked. I then got a job as the kids got older. Now I take care of my father and the wife is the one working still. She has been at the same place for almost 30 years and she loves it and she is a workaholic. This has worked for us for 35 years now and it won't change either. We share decision making. The one that works doesn't have all the say in my marriage.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

If the daycare expenses is more then the amounth that you made from work,i will agree to stay home to watch my own kids instead of going to work just enough for paying the daycare and make no extra money for my family.
Being a understanding husband would not dominate their spouse just because of they are not working.Because eventhogh they are working out ,but they still contribute to the family by taking care the kids and doing house work.such as cooking and cleaning.
Therefore, men should accept if their spouse is not working .

Yes absolutely right..If the daycare expenses is more or closer to he/she's work..Then there is no point of working she/he may stay home and look after their kids instead oof daycare expenses..
If one is a good and understanding husband then there is no problem.. But there are some mens like rusty2rusty's husband.

That depend upon the husband because my husband dont want me to work. He wants me to stay in the house to take care of our son and the house. I am also taking care of my husband and other things in the house.

I have not been with my husband for very long, it will be 3 years in October and I guess you can I have been the dominate one in the relationship, which at times is fine, but the other times I wish he would take over. I'm getting really stressed that everything lies on me, I work the two jobs, I just finished school, I take care of the family, I pay the bills, I plan what we are doing for the weekend, its always me me me!! I would love to stay home however, with having 2 kids at home to support and then having 3 step-dauthers (who live with their mom) to help support its just not possible. I have given birth to two boys and when my second son was born a year ago I only got to stay home for two weeks for my maternity leave, how nice is that?

Hi Coolgeth, I agree with you that some women just quit their job when they get married or have children. In a way, it is good for the children if mother took care of them. It is not 100% true that men dominate women if they are not working, probably only a handful. Most men want their spouse to stay at home but I think in this modern era, men would feel happy if their spouse help out in the family financial responsibility.

My husband is happy I stay at home with our children. He does not dominate me because I don't work outside of the home. He hands me money to pay the bills and extra for whatever I need or want provided we have extra. Been tough past few months.
I don't work because it is cheaper for me to stay at home. Daycare for us is $4.00/hr. Minimum wage is $5.15. I would need at least $10/hour plus to make it worth my while to take kids to sitter, drive to and from work, pay for gas, etc...
