We are on modern age and it's so hard to look for living specially in third countries..and they have customs like woman should stay at home and take care the children and the man work for the family.But what I observed that now a days, number of unemployed men prefer to stay homeand take care their children and the wife is the one working..because there are more job oppotunities to women than me..
what can u say about this?..

I consider myself the breadwinner of the family. Though my husband has a small computer shop. still the income is not yet sufficient for all of us considering that we have 3 kids who all go to school.

Every family has its own "style". There is the traditional model of husband as breadwinner and wife as homemaker. There is the reverse wherein wife has a regular job and husband stays at home. And there is the model wherein both contribute. It really depends on the family.

My husband makes the money, I raise our child. First, it works out biologically, I mean when he was a baby, I had the milk! My husband also can't stand to stay at home that long, he'd just get antsy. I have more patience. I'm also a better cook! If he stayed at home, we'd survive of nachos and soda lol. This is what works out for our family, I grew up with a girl whose dad stayed at home, he was great and a blast!
