Is it a good idea if the father stay at home to take care of kids?

It could be a good idea because each family has its own life mode. I think that the more suitable one is the better one either for the father or for the mother. It depends though.

i can say nothing if you think it is a goog idea that the father stay at home to take care of kids . why not to stay to sever the family while the mom makes more money than the father ? but the fahter offen work outside as i know . few fahter stay at home to take care of kid when the mom is working too. i think it must waste energy for father to take care of kids .father as it is known has energy and is strong . but whether it need the energy to take care of children ? it makes me feel unconfortable if the father stay at home . the reason why i think so may be that we live in Sire era but Dam era.

As much as possible it still best for a mom to stay home. However if no choice at all, Dad would do, instead of nothing. Dads can also do the laundry and cookings, plus baby sittings :)

it really depends on the situation, both Husband and Wife should share the responsibilities suffice to say a mom is more likely a good caretaker for the kids - peace:0

I agree. It doesn't matter which loving parent stays home with a child. My husband tried the sahd thing but he nearly went bonkers with boredom. Its not for everyone but I think its a great idea.

The father as if can love the child,has very many families in mine side,the guardian educates the child the time,the mother quite is being always severe,the father then equally can teach you like the friend very many solutions the method,i thought the father if can again careful,be able to be the very good full-time caregivers.

Not agree, in general father ie a male is a bit rough and a bit stronger than mother ie female. So, father is more suitable for outdoor/job/make money. But nothing wrong for 'father stay at home and mother go to work' if both parties are happy/agree to do so..

Well,there is no wrong if father stay and look after the kids.But I think most of the kids want their mom.They want the closeness and the motherly feeling I think which no father can give. I think a father can be parttime caregivers not full time.I think so.

I think both cares are needed, from mother and father. It will give kids a pure balance. It cannot take leader as if mother or father earns out there as a reason, it's not the way. Father still can give the care for his kids after-works, and so is mother who plays the carrier-woman part. It's hard to apply when both side make their earnings, which it is happened nowadays, where kids lack of care from their parents, and leave to baby-sitter or their parents-in-law. The era forced to do so, due to heavily needed to secure financial aspect and beyond of expensive spendings nowadays. Look back to past time where parents can breed 5 to 10 or more kids, and it's only the father who give the earning, but they still can go on and rising until what we are now. We should salute them for their effort and patience. Some my neighborhood's older said,"Your generation lack of the passionates what we had in our past time."

I don't see why a father couldn't stay home. It's a hard job for either to do. And it is a JOB!!! And it's full-time, all the time!!! I think a father can do a great job just as well. There has been plenty of single fathers raising children but no one ever seems to give them the credit they deserve.

there are no great fathers in this world. all they want to do with their kids is lay them. they are all just pretending they care about the family, but if truth be told, they do not give a damn about them. why would you trust your fathers to stay at home to take care of the kids? if you care about the kids, you should just let the father work and let the bloke spend less time at home. muthers are great. they are all the ones who can be trusted. fathers are sick!
