Husband stays home raises kids while wife works?

I think it is not really a good idea, because women have the advantage of being first, and having the maximum experience in dealing with such situations like looking after the home. Also, the sad part is what if the woman turns abusive towards her husband, starts thrashing him, assaulting him, humiliating him and maybe even, in the long run walking out of the married life. The rights of the man to seek legal rights are very poor. The laws are completely in the favor of women. Men have very little rights, and even if they cry foul there is nobody to listen to their pleas, men are not united in these issues. So, i think its still risky to try such adventurous style of living.

I don't either as a matter of fact my best friend use to do that. She worked while her husband stayed at home and watched thier 2 boys.

you see alot of men staying home while the wifes works.but not just every man could do this.the man would have to have alot of patience when it comes to kids.but i see nothing wrong with this as long as everyone agrees with it.running a household is a full time job.an if a man feels he can do this .i say go for it.

I personally do not have a problem with a man staying home and raising the kids. My husband and I share the responsability for the cleaning and cooking. The couple must be ok with this for it to work. If they are happy why shouldn't others. Who ever said that only a woman could cook and clean and only a man could bring home the bacon. A marriage is about two people comming together. I always said a marriage is not 50/50 but 60/40 and sometimes 20/80. It takes a lot to make a great union.

I would have no problem with my husband staying at home if we could afford it. I think I would like coming home to a clean house and the kids taken care of. It is just not possible for me to do that right now.

tradtionally , a husband is expected to work for the whole family and as the 'breadwinner ' in the family while the wife will take care of the children and househoild duties. If the reverse happens ,other people may think that guy is not a good one and is just relying on his wife.. However i think these kind of matter just belong to that family and one do not need to think about how other people think on them, as long as the husband and wife can share the repsonsiblities clearly with no conflict, they can still live happily..

It has always been the norm that the man brings home the bacon. Although there would be some exceptions specially if the guy can't work because of circumstances that is beyond their control. Like the guy is unlucky with the job, or he can't find any, or health reasons, or others. I find it a bit odd that the wife would be working and the guy will be the one who stays at home. Although staying at home and raising the kids are equally tough as going to work. Maybe the guy could also work will staying out home. Typically I don't see myself letting my wife do all the work. As to the question if its wrong for the man to stay in the house and the wife bring home the bacon? Its between the husband and the wife, as long as both of them agree with this kind of arrangement. There maybe a reason unknown to many as to why the guy stays at home.

it is nice to have a husband who helps you with household chores but it is much nicer if the head of the family is a man. a man who is a good provider. how can a person head a family if he can not provide. sooner or later the man will lose confidence in himself if he prolongs this kind of set-up. fortunately or unfortunately some women really get a better pay but as long as the man helps in the financial needs of the family, it is going to be a far better relationship rather than being a parasite to a wife.

As long as you are both okay with it I do not see a problem with this at all. Just as long as she doesn't come home to a dirty house, unfed children while you're playing video games or on Mylot, hahaha. Raising children is the most important job and if you are willing to spend that time at home while she brings home the bacon for the family, then this would be an okay thing. I don't know if this is still true with my boyfriend, but he once said if I ever did have a baby he'd stay at home and let me finish college. But that was a long time ago, I never would let him officially quit college and his dreams though! But we're almost done with college so we're safe. Haha.

I don't see a problem with this at all if that is a personal choice. But if it was me I probably would want to have some sort of job so I can pay for things I would like to have and for the family, and also to get out of the house and interact with new people. I think it's a noble thing to stay at home and raise kids.

WELL its good thought and i really dont mind this at all ..its actually nice ...
