Are you for Men staying home

I think it's great if a man stays home with the kids. I think it helps build more respect for the women that do it. Recently my daughter's husband was forced to stay home with their 9 month old and 2 year old while my daughter went back to college. She said the first day the house was clean, but after that he keeps telling her he doesn't know how she does it, the kids are annoying and he can't do anything he wants to do. He can't go get a hair cut or anything until she gets home. The poor man, now he realizes that he shouldn't have kept yelling at her for the house not being clean and dinner cooked when he got home. Yes, I think every man should stay home for at least a month to get a real understanding of how difficult it is to raise kids!

why is it if the man stays home he is lazy? yet if the woman stays home she if a housewife? I work 6 days a week 10-13 hours a day so i can provide for my wife to stay home and look ufter bubs. If it was at all possible i would trade it in a second to be the one at home raising my son. I love him and i want to spend as much time as possible with him.

I think it all depends on your situation, if the wife doesn't mind and it works for the family, than I don't see a problem with it.

I agree it should be discussed and both parties should feel good about it. I personally, do not see anything wrong with a stay at home dad. In some situations, the dad may actually be better at it than the mom.

If I was married, I would do whatever me and my wife felt comfortable doing. If she wanted to work and have me stay home and take care of the kids and house then I would do that or if she wanted me to go to work and her stay home that would be fine. You are right it is mutual decision on both parts.

my husband stays home and both of us earn online. its fun staying together all day long... but still looking for better mney making options apart from data entry and content writing... more option? pleez sujjest

I dont think any adult should go through life without a saleable skill either gender can be home keeper. i dont think the stay at home parent is lazy. I do think that to protect the family each parent needs a skill they can earn from. My mother was left in the lurch when my dad left and didnt pay child support. That was not so uncommon yet a lot of parents are not prepared to become a single parent.

I think if it works for that family then fine. It's nobody's business who brings in the income or who raises the children in someone else's family. As long as you both agree that this is how your family should be run.

I think it's fine if either or neither parent wants to stay home with the kids, as long as the kids are parented by both parents. I'm fine with both parents working as well. In fact, I think this the route I will take.

i dont see why the man should nt stay home but i think if it was my man i would resent it , sods law lol

I think that men and women should have the same rights. A woman deserves to go to work even if she has a little baby. Work is important for women, so her husband should help her and start a good relation with his child.

I think if it works for the wife and husband then there is nothing wrong with it. They are a team and should work together.

Everyone knows that being a stay at home parent is a full time job in itself. At least the worker can come home at the end of a day and switch off form their job! Being a parent, whether mum or dad will always be harder than working full time in a job. So no if the man wants to stay home, he isn't being lazy in my opinion.

Yes, I think that it would be great for the man to stay home with the kids...then he can see how much of a full time job it really is, hehe. Seriously though, I think that as long as the family is happy and everyone is being taken care of and having their needs met, it shouldn't matter who stays home with the children.

i don't mind stay at home to take care of the kids.

I know of many families where the husband is the stay at home dad. The wife makes the better of the two incomes and it is better for the husband to stay home with the kids. Once the kids are in school they will go back to work. The type that makes me angry are those that will stay home and enroll the children in day care. That is just pure laziness.

i think that if i can make more money than my husband then heck yeah, and i know he'd do a good job, but right now he's the bread winner so it works out with me being home!

yeah ur right....both should take equal responsibilites ...i think man should be at work and woman with her kids and household work...it would be better if both work to have good financial support to them

I honestly don't know why a man would want to stay home with kids. I'm a stay at home mom, and I see how my husband reacts to the girls just with being off a few days, lol. They drive him nutty. But if a family is ok with one income like our's is and the guy wants to stay home and do everything, I will shout from the mountain tops go ahead. I have been home going on 11 years. It would be a nice change to go to work and my husband stay home to see what I do every day. But that will never happen. So it's either I keep staying at home or get a job down the road.
