Is it awkward if this has become the condition in the society?

If they would both agree and are happy with this arrangement, husband in the house and wife working, then I guess that's a good idea.

I think this is Great when a man wants to stay home, and take care of the family while the wife works. Sometimes it is because of Health or other issues, but this proves a man can take care of his household if this is the decission made, and should never be considered any less of if it is bettering the quality of the home.

Well in that case there is exception. If they understand the situation, it is alright. Thanks! +

I think this is actually becoming more of a common thing, I see nothing wrong with it. As long as the family is happy and the children are being taken care of, it shouldn't matter who cares for the children (being the father, mother, or caregiver).

With today's changing roles, as long as the husband and wife are comfortable with the role switch, there should be no problems. It is no longer necessary for the man to be the main bread winner as sometimes the woman can earn many times the salary of the man.

I agree but sometimes it is awkward for the man thinking that he should be the bread winner and not the wife.

i don't think so..its just that we are not used to it..its been kind of society's tradition that a man would work outside and the female counterpart would stay at home..but now that women have a higher stake and say in every decision it should not be surprising that things work out the other way..

In that case, there is agreement between the two. Because It feels awkward for man to let his wife do his job. Thanks! +
