Women working a 9-5 VS men staying home

My nephew was a STHD (stay at home dad) and his wife worked. She was the one who could bring in the most money and while she loves her children, she really wanted to keep working in the family business. The two children are now in college. They are wonderful, well adjusted people who had a great childhood. My nephew truly enjoyed staying home and cleaning, cooking, raising the kids, being involved in their schools, etc. It worked out perfectly for everyone. Now that the kids are grown and living on their own, they take frequent trips and are as in love as when they married. Men stay home because that's what works for their family. Whoever truly wants to be home should be the one to do it, man or woman.

Some men can't make the money their partner can. And, some men do not want to work. Sad, but that is a fact, so the women have to do what the other half won't.

My missus job allows her to make a great deal more than what I make as a teacher, but we decided many years ago that my sons would benefit from me being around while they were going through Scouts and sports, so I quit my accounting career and became a teacher, a calling I'd felt pulled to for a long time anyway, and that allowed me to be there for my sons during the years they were learning to become young men.

I have a couple of friends where the wife works and the husband is Mr. Mom. It works fine.

It is whatever works for the family. Some women want to pursue their career. They don't want to stay home. It could be a number of reasons why the woman works and the man stays home. My nephew is a stay at home dad. His wife works. They both had really high paying jobs and great careers. Their son has CP, cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair. He needed somebody to be home to help him, lifting him, caring for him, etc. They decided my nephew would be the one to stay home. He left his job because his son needed him. He is an excellent dad. They are a very happy family and it is what works best for them.

Now days there are a few men who do it considering the wife has a good paying job. Right now I'm a stay at home wife. I keep everything up take care getting things done bills paid and ECT. Pretty much when my husband's home he has to do nothing. I do everything because he works and supports.

Here in the Philippines , most parents are now working . As to the children , they hire a helper or nannies if they can still afford to take care of them . As the cost of living is high , there must be enough income for the family to live comfortably .
