No, There is nothing wrong with that. It nice to see the husband who is willing to stay home instead of the wife. People think it dont look right or he is not man enough but I think it wonderful idea. Staying home parents is not for women only.

I think if he wants to be one that is fine, I am a work from home mom so I like the roll of staying home, but I think it is what ever works for your family.

I dont think there is anything wrong with your husband being a stay at home dad, I think it is great if a parent can be home with the child, wether it be the mom or the dad that stays home, it shouldnt matter which parent stays home as long as the arrangement works for both of you. it doesnt make him a housewife to stay home anymore than it makes you the man to bring home the paycheck, if it works for the two of you I say keep it up :)

when you have 2 people in the relationship , then it takes 2 to get things working , like they say it's a two way street.

Steriotyping of roles is fading away very quickly, and I am extremely glad of that. Let each do that which he or she can, and be happy doing it, is what I believe. To me, it doesn't who does what, as long as it gets done. Sharing responsibilities is simply magic. I'm proud of you both.

I really feel as though it is the woman's job to stay at home. God gave them everything that they need to stay at home. Compassion,patientence,the ability to multi task.Now men have these same qualities,but it is much different I think.

I dont think its wrong as long as you are able to manage financially and it helps you with the day to day stress.

I am retired;my wife still works. I do the housework and all of the normal tasks usually performed soley by the houseWIFE. I'm a former 101st Airborne Rangers veteran of Vietnam and a former law enforcement worker....It doesn't make me feel any less than a man to function as a houseHUSBAND.

I think it is great for a day to be that involved with his kids and take care of all of the house work. I tried that with my fiance, but he would never just do the chores. I always had to make a list which annoyed me too much.

It only works when both people put an effort. some men think because the put in a days work that they can now come home and plop on the sofa.

I think that is great if it suits the both of you that your husband is the primary care giver. I know that traditionally the mother is the one who stays at home while the father goes out to work but society has changed so much.
In fact this is what happened with us but I am talking about way back in the 1970's. We had a farm and I couldn't do everything on it, so I took a job off the farm and our son stayed at home with his father. Sure not everyone agreed with what we were doing but it suited us and I think that we all benefited from this arrangement.
Good luck to you. :)

Being the bread winner is primarily the husbands duty and wife should stay at home with the children, but nowadays with the unemployment problems, if the wife has the opportunity to get a job then she will have to do it to save the family.
