Men, would you play househusband?
Your partner’s career is taking off; she seems to be climbing the ladder of success and you couldn’t be more proud of her. The higher she climbs, the greater her income, but the less time she has to spend with the family.
She suggests that instead of having family or strangers caring for the children when you are both at work, it would be nice if you stayed home and cared for them, as her salary is more than able to carry the financial needs of the household.
Would you stay home and raise the children?
Miguel, 40:
I see nothing wrong with it, but I would have to find a way to work from home just to maintain my sanity.
Shane, 33:
I’m not sure that I would feel comfortable living off my woman. Yes, it would be nice to watch her do her thing and in the process bond with my kids, but as a man I just don’t see myself being a househusband.
Jahson, 37:
I couldn’t do it. A man is the one who should be working and providing, even if the woman can hold her own. If I was to just stay home I would feel like I was losing a part of my manhood.
Tyrone, 30:
I would tell her to go back to the drawing board on that one. I see nothing wrong with a two-salary household regardless of one person being able to foot all the expenses. There must be some other way.
Corie, 27:
I would support her in attaining her dream with the hope that when my time comes around she is just as supportive.
