The husband should bring most of the money in the family?

Now days most husbands and wives both work just to make ends meet. There are some wives who can make more money working then their husband so the husband stays at home and watches the child and cleans and cooks, I see nothing wrong with that.

This has been the tradition since the days of our grandfathers and it is the same thing making women fill confined at home. I believe whoever makes more should help more afterall why should one kill himself trying to provide when you are making more

According to the tradition, the husband is supposed to bring more money to home. As usually men will have a higher salary than women because they can have more time to work and women are supposed to take care of their families at first. So women can't focus at work as well as men. I think it doesn't matter who earns more. After all, they are couples and they shall share everything. It is a good thing to earn more. Everybody sacrifices for the family and we can't really value it by money only.

I personally have had to work and bring home the bacon as m y hubby was laid low after cancer surgery of his c olon We both agreed on it and while my husban felt he should be the bread winner he had to come to terms with me being it until he was welll. and even then I did part time work as we needed what I made added to what he made. l iving in California is expensive.

That is very fortunate you are able to work and provide for your family while your wife can home with to care for your daughter! In my opinion, either way works. The wife or husband works, both works, as long as bills are being paid and everyones healthy, safe, well cared for, loved, etc.

It's really not about who brings money the most, it's about shared responsibilities. We all know that men can do the most strenuous jobs out there, so yes they can basically earn more. But having balanced responsibilities can make your relationship more valuable.

Personally, I don't think it matters, so long as the two inviduals are alright with it. I know I wouldn't care who brings in most money.

I think it has to do with culture, and the taxation in the country. In my country, both have to work to enjoy the most subsidies if they have children. If the mother does not work, she does not get to enjoy childcare subsidies and parenthood relief. Nearly all the families bring their children to childcare so that the kids can play with each other. In this case, there is no need to argue who brings in more money. In some countries, women still do not work after marriage. it is a culture for men to bring home the bacon. That is why the rate of women participation in workforce is less than 20%.

It depends on the situation and couple. A lot of times the man will make more but there's a lot of house husbands these days.

Myself & my wife are also working. As long as there is an opportunity for earning neither of us wanted to get each other disturbed. We have a long way to go & it need best planning to make sure no one is at risk.

I don't mind who earns the most money to be honest...as long as we are earning :D

There's nothing wrong with working together to pay the bills

That makes sense. It all depends on the couple and the situation.

I would actually love to be the main "bread winner". I just really want to contribute and I think it makes the other person be less stressed when they aren't the one that has to take care of everything financially.

We now have house husbands who care for the home and kids while the wives work to earn money. There is no hard and fast rules that say husband should be the breadwinner. We have to accept the fact that more and more women are highly qualified so are able to earn better income.

Honestly I'm of the mind set that too many careers do not pay enough as is. I know that's neither here nor there, but well I had to get that out of the way. I belive as long as someone is bring home the bacon, and the family unit / homelife is happy and secure, well that is all that matters.

I see nothing wrong with both making money and paying the bills.

I will probably make more money then my "maybe future husband"

Me and my husband both make a decent wage. Certain parts of the year he brings home more. This time of year I bring in more income. We both spend as much time as we can with our son. If he had a higher paying career, I would gladly stay home with our some. If I had a good career I'm sure he would not work as many hours as he does. Right now, what we have going works best for us.

Well usually the man is the part who earn the majority of the money since the woman has to stay home, taking care to more things and maybe she can't get a work that takes too much effort or at least not as much as the one the man has. Still, there are A LOT of women who earn more than the men and A LOT of women who have a hard work and take care of all that "house related" stuff. So yeah, traditionally the men brings home the money, recently well.. it could be the opposite
