What do you think about stay at home husbands?

I had a stay at home hubby. My family resented it & treated him terribly. I had a decent paying job with benefits. He did ALL the housework, ALL the laundry, ALL the cooking, ALL the dish washing, ALL the yard work, most of the repairs on the car, & ALL the computer repairs. I had what most husbands have. I'd walk in from work & sit down to a Martini. By the time I finished my drink, my dinner would be sitting in front of me. Was I spoiled??? YES!!! Did I care that he didn't work??? NO!!! BOTH friends & family made terrible comments to me about the situation. I loved my job & loved working. He loved the rest (including me). I really ticked a lot of people off when I told them it was NONE of their freakin business!!! I wish I knew the answer to your question. To this day my Dad despises him. His feeling is, if he was a real man, he'd would have had a job & taken care of me. I could NEVER get it through his thick skull that he WAS taking care of me. I did NOT want to quit work & he LOVED being at home!!! We loved each other desperately. I NEVER quite figured out the problem, so I'll be interested to the responses you get to this one!!!

sorry to say, nowadays that is very normal. there are no controversies in the subject. it is a choice where several men find it more productive and comforting taking care the house and and the kids. same as the wives can opt to work in the same working space as their husbands, nothing taboo about it.

I think being a stay at home dad is okay but I know this is where conflict can arise. Sometimes the man feels less of a man because it is the woman bringing in the money. However,if the man thinks this is okay and he can stand all the teasings, then so be it. The important thing is that the couple understands and helps each other.

Every now and then , people all over world , through different platforms , keeps claiming, equal rights for women. But , the truth is , every one , some where in the their heart and mind , think otherwise.And so , when you see stay at home husband...the superior of being a MAN . makes them uncomfortable . Many may not agree with me...

In this world there is nothing impossible and sometimes the normal way of living is also inverted and in that case if that would happened in this life then I think it is ok unless the Man could also do the same thing the wife could do when they will be in the house......and sometimes they are also better in anything to do in the house.

I see nothing wrong with Dad staying home and taking care of the child. I wish more Dads were more involved with their kids these days.
