How does the husband feel if his wife work for thier family?

I am currently a stay-at-home father. I will say it has been interesting and staying at home is no picnic. :) I don't have a problem with my wife working while I stay home and take care of the house and kids. She is still an extremely wonderful person and her working while I am home does not change anything. Granted, I feel like I am stuck in the house all the time, but it just takes some getting used to.

I encourage my wife to work. When my wife and I were a little younger in our relationship, I actually wanted her to work and then I could stay home and start a business. I don't mind that it didn't happen and my wife is home helping me...we are partners in this relationship and it works well.

The reversal role will be definitely unacceptable initially. But if the wife is able to earn enough for the family why not husband share the responsibility of taking care of the kids and home. I will really relish it if I get such an opportunity. It is nice to be pampered you know.

Well at first my husband was very unhappy that I was the breadwinner but after awhile he came to accept it. As he was almost totally handicapped He did not do much around the house so thankfully I was working part time so I could do some cleaning and cooking when home. It was hard for both of us but we did cope and my son was an adult so that was easier and then he got a job so we were both working and that really helped.

One please don't take this as me being rude but wives are not for serving or only for staying at home. Neither would a husband if the woman took on the traditional male role of making the majority of money. My husband would deal with it if thats the way it had to be. I know he would prefer to work outside our home wether I stayed home or not with our daughter. I think a lot of husbands are a bit intimidated by a woman bringing in all the cash, but i see nothing wrong with it. We live in 2008 not 1908...its a very different world now.
