What is wrong with "stay at home" dads?

Hi, manong There is absolutely nothing wrong with stay at home dads if they do their part on making everything work in the family. Like, since he is just at home and his wife is gone most of the day, he can do the household chores and look after the kids. Being a stay at home dad is wrong only if he expects his wife to the household chores when she gets home after a day at work. Support is what spouses are obligated to give each other. Cheers!

In my opinion, if one parent chooses to stay home, it shouldn't matter which parent it is as long as all of the household responsibilies are taken care of. I think that stay at home dads should be respected the same as every other man, they are doing an important job for their family after all. Sometimes, it just makes more sense for the dad to stay home than the mom, sometimes, both parents have to work and a babysitter has to stay with the kids. Regardless of the situation, if the household is happy with the arrangement, why should they be judged for it?

..Well, I'm a wife and I'm earning for the family.. My husband stay at home to take care of our baby.. this was a decision of the two of us and I don't feel any regret since I'm really not a stay at home type of mom.. I'd like to work.. and my husband is more of household chores so I think there's nothing with it.. and I don't also see why husbands who stay at home should be looked down by other men.. well, maybe because other men still prefer to see men working for the family not the wife.. however, we are already in the era where women can also do things that men can.. For us, we're just being practical.. we don't want to get somebody who take care of our baby because we are afraid that they won't take extra care for our baby.. we wanted to take care our baby personally.. However, I can't also deny the fact that even my family look down to my husband because they think that he is just staying at home doing nothing instead of working.. In our country, men who work for the family are looked up.. men here are against women who are working because they feel that they are being dominated..

i don't see a problem with stay at home dads,i think more dads should do this,coz a lot of children only see their dads for a couple of hours a day,which i don't think is enough,it takes a real man to interact with his kids more,i know dads that love their kids but never spend any time with them,i think that's really sad coz they grow up so fast,blink and you'll miss it

In my view, either working outside or staying at home is a way of life for everyone to choose, neither of which is superior. Whatever a man chooses, we should respect his choice. But you know the influence of traditional views is still very big, which think that a man should work hard to support his families while a woman should stay at home as a housewife. It's not easy to change such views in a short time. But I'm sure that with the development of economy and progress of society, people will show more and more tolerance to those who choose to become "househusband".

There's nothing wrong as long as he's finished with all the house chores when the wife comes home from work. What's wrong is, if the wife comes home tired only to find out that she still needs to do the laundry, cook dinner, clean the dishes, etc, etc and still has perform her marital obligations before sleeping. tsk. tsk!

There's nothing wrong with dads staying at home, it's the generation thing. I mean, in these times, men find it more difficult to secure jobs (companies tend to hire females because there were experiences before of men being overly active in unions. Now, they prefer lesser aggravation, so they tend to hire more women. That's how it goes these days, but I'm sure many won't like it. I too wouldn't like that I would have to work and my husband stays at home. I think his body is built to work more than I should. It would preferably be okay if both work, and the wife would just work partime so that she could have time at home. But, I guess it's no longer our choice these days. Life is showing us that we need to adjust. But I hope these men who are 'stay at home dads' aren't lazy.
