Would You Be A Stay At Home Dad If Your Wife Earned $500k A Year ?

[twan83]

What do you find most satisfying?

Nothing most satisfying it’s just who I am I will always run the household even if my wife makes more than me eventually all she needs to do is work and chill out and help out when I tell her too
I did same even when I was working not gonna change cuz I don’t work. if anything maybe cuz now my youngest is in school now full time I get peace of mind for those few hours till he and other kids get out and daddy duties activate when they are back

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Might as well call your wife daddy.

lmao

 

[jshani]

nah...only way i would do that is if i had a work from home job....

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Yes I’m staying home. But like women, I’ll be hiring people to do all the shyt work and just raise my kids and enjoy life. The fukk I look like holding up social standards that I didn’t have shyt to do with making

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

Yes no questions ask.

this mostly about the development of our children, If it was possible i would even home school our kids

now if it was no kids on the table, might be tough Ngl

 

[DPresidential]

No

Because I wouldn’t be good at it.


Staying home is hard work and just like anything else if it’s hard and you don’t like it then you’re bound to fail.

I know a family that did it and it worked well for them. Dad was very involved; PTA meetings, chaperoning, sports dad, etc. It’s very impressive.

Not sure what men have against being involved more than financially or “baby sitting” for a girl’s night out, with their children. You’re not less of a man because you’re not the breadwinner, especially when the house is functioning well. That trite and white idea of providing, jams up a lot of men.

The problem isn't with spending time with the children and doing what is reasonable around the house.

Society has progressed since the 50s, so why on earth should a man be happy with cooking and cleaning every day.

Look at the situation reversed. If I was earning 500k to 1 mil a year, but expected my wife to cook and clean everyday, what would be the response?

If I'm earning that type of money, the only reason why I wouldn't hire a nanny and chip in every now and then with domestic tasks, is if I was looking to make a point of my wife performing those tasks.

It is not something I would do, so it is not something I would accept.

Unfortunately, I’m unable to view the situation from your perspective. Y’all have relegated a parent that stays at home to some sort of maid or bum status. Again, that trite, traditional gender role business people can’t seem to escape.

I don't view house husbands as bums which is why I don't think the point being contested is properly understood.

If I viewed it as light work, I wouldn't see the need to help out if the roles were reversed and/or hire maid.

My beef is with the expectation of cooking and cleaning everyday. Like I said before, it is not something I would expect from my wife so it is not something I will accept.

 

[Colicat]

No, i wouldn't even want to be married to a woman that out earned me to be honest

Why? There may be a season where you out earn her.

If marriage is truly a team, isn’t her win; your win?

Marriage is a team sport but the roles each person plays aren't the same in my opinion.

I know it's en vogue to be more progressive in the context of relationships in modern times but I prefer a more traditional arrangement. I'm not against my partner working but I am against her being in a position where she might feel like whether or not our family succeeds rests more on her shoulders than mine.

I believe men and women are purpose built and I believe the idea of a woman working while her man is at home is completely out of order.

My view is about a father having a daily impact on the molding, modeling and rearing of his children outside of finances, which I feel is NECESSARY!! You're fixated on chores for some reason.

LOL people work from home all the time. Yall want to slave away at a job so badly to the point you wouldn't risk it to benefit your children. This is crazy to me.
