would u wanna be a stay at home dad?

[flyinshark]

Women want carreers nowadays. They dont wanna stay home and take care of the house, and im trying to understand..

Isn`t staying at home easier than having a full time job? If you stay home, you dont necessarely have to wake up early, you have less stress, less .. many things. So, are women stupid for not seeing that? They think it's better to bust their ass on a job when they could stay home all day and do less effort?

I dunno, maybe i'm getting this wrong.. On the flip side, having a job implies socialising with people, feeling like you are doing something with your life, and perhaps staying at home makes you feel like you aren't worth anything and are totally dependent on your spouse financially..

Wouldn't it be easier to just stay home, play video games, and once in a while fix a sink, while your wife brings in all the cash?

I personally would never do that, cuz im a man and i would feel embarassed to sit on my ass and do nothing, but i think it would be so much easier as a life if i didnt work...

Comments, suggestions?

Im not sure your definition of "dad" is correct. What you are talking about is a man without children. Play video games and wake up late...no stress? Taking care of a child is a full time job.

And the answer is no, I would rather have a career.

 

[Desdinova]

Yes and no. If I decided to become a "stay at home dad", I would want to be running a home business. Why not have the best of both worlds?

 

[diplomatic_lies]

I'd like to be a "stay-at-home non-dad". That is, no wife, no kids, just myself at home getting paid $500K for sleeping, playing video games, and eating.

Hey, nobody said fantasies have to be grand.

 

[insanity]

that depends on who got the brains. my woman is academically gifted. if we had kids i would stay home because she is going to be bringing home the loads of cash. plus staying home for a man has never been better. can anyone say videogames.

your being old fashinoned. whats wrong with staying at home and sending out the woman for making some cash. if my woman can make more money then me. that isn't embarrassing. thats just smart. why does the man have to struggle? this is 2007 and if women want to work then so be it.

But you said a stay at home DAD! That means the KIDS are going to be playing the video games, spilling juice on the sofa:nono: and screaming with each other. :moon: You get to do the laundry, go food shopping...WITH the screaming kids vacuume the floors, make dinner:crazy: and pick up after your little darlings ALL DAY.:cuss:

Belive me! A hard day at the office is a piece of cake!

cooking is for women unless i take a course in school to become a chef. i cooked a few times for my woman and after a while she expected it. but theres always ways around that. i just went to the grocery store with her and picked up a bunch of expensive steaks and stuff and burnt everything to a crisp. after a while she just said well some people just aren't made for cooking and how wrong was she. she is now the kitchen queen

kids spilling stuff on couchs. no problem thats what leather couchs were invented for.

 

[Zwitterion]

Hell Yes, I actually like cooking and cleaning and not having to commute to work would be tit.

Have you ever heard of chloroform?

Belive me! A hard day at the office is a piece of cake!

Work can be harder than looking after the kids, especially if you work at a decent job. Obviously if you work at McDonalds it's not the same...

 

[flyinshark]

Ok yeah, being a DAD does add a lot more responsibilities because kids can act really crazy. I guess the education you give them plays a major role in how disciplined they become, so if you are skilled you could raise your kids to respect you and be obedient, then it probably would become a "piece of cake" having kids around.

But wouldnt that be embarrassing, to stay home while your wife brings in all the cash?

 

[rjones]

I would love to have a wife making lots of money and I dont have to do anything. But I would still work a little bit to keep myself busy and just in case we get divorced.

 

[Holland]

You can both work. When you have kids, she'll have to take a break in her career. I mean she has to give birth and all so that's just the natural way of doing things.

 

[The Messiah]

a real man provides for the family and then comes home after work to his children

your a pusssyyyy

 

[insanity]

of course an answer like that would come from the messiah. only a puss wouldn't be old fashioned. your mom should smack you in the head. real men call the shots

 

[djbr]

Real men this, real men that.

Fvck it. Do what you want.

To answer the question: I would not. I do not want to marry. Also, women have a twisted view regarding money... if you earn, it's "ours". If she earns, it's hers.

Think what would happen when she gets all the money.
