Rohan P asked:
The number of women in workforce are rising and number of men staying home are increasing. Most of the stay at home Dads or househusbands or male housewives were working when they were married. With the different cicumstances, they chose or were forced to stay at home.
Women, would you consider marrying a man with an understanding that you will be going out to bring the bacon and he will stay at home to cook it for you?

of course. I would by no means stop from marrying the man I loved just because he wants to stay at home as long as he’s actually DOING something at home like cooking, cleaning etc.
personally im attracted the the dominant male so i wouldnt want MY husband staying at home but i dont disagree with it.
depends on the couple =)

im a little traditional so i wouldnt want my husband to stay at home. im sure it would work for some people. i feel if the man isnt out working then hes not providing for his family.

I sure would. If I found a man that I loved enough to mary I think it is great. If I made more money and we had children I have no problem working for us as he stays home. I am confident with myself that I does not bother me at all.

This is kind of like a poll, right?
There’s nothing wrong with the husband staying home. The few couples I know that do this have very solid marriages, and the wives have very well-paying jobs.
Having said that, I’ll tell you that it’s a big turnoff for me personally. I wanted to be the one home with the kids… and I wanted a husband who wanted me to be home with the kids when they were small. As it turned out, I’ve worked part-time since our first child was born (she’s almost 13) and consider myself lucky to have had that time with the kids.
I stopped dating my first boyfriend because I saw repeated instances of what looked like laziness, selfishness, and mama’sboyism to me: he quit going to classes and then flunked out of college… he continued living at his parents’ house even after he got a full-time job… he told me it was fine with him if I became a lawyer and supported him and our potential family.
I guess I’m old fashioned. I don’t mind pulling my weight, but I want a husband who’s focused on providing a basic living for our family. I don’t want a big fancy house/car/jewelry… just a warm house, a car that runs, and enough clothes to keep us decent.

My bf and I talk about this all the time. I have a Master’s degree and he is working on getting his associates. He makes good money but it doesn’t compare to what I make or what I will be making in the future. I have told him that if we were to have a child and it made more sense for him to stay at home instead of paying for day care that I wouldn’t have a problem with it. He didn’t necessarily agree with it because men like to be able to provide for the family. But it wouldn’t bother me at all.
It has a lot to do with the way you were raised I think. My mother lost my father back when she was 36. I was 13 at the time and my brothers were 5/6. My mother was a housewife before then, never went to college, didn’t even know how to drive. So when my father passed away, my mom beat it into me that I needed to go to school and learn to take care of myself. She told me that I should never get into a situation (buying a home, living with someone, having children) unless I could do it alone. That’s the way I have lived my life. I have looked for someone that I can be with because I love him and he loves me, not because he can provide for me…and I found that person.

I think it depends on the couple.If she makes more money then you do,why not ? Whatever floats your boat !

No, because I could never earn enough to keep a husband, when i was working I barely earnt enough to keep myself. Any man wanting to be a househusband would not have got very far with me, I always wanted to be the one to stay at home and have the children.
