i'd love it! to be able to stay home wud be great. however it wud get boring and repetitive. but i wudnt mind it 2 much to begin wit. the idea sounds great...

 

[SuGa BunI =D]

but the man should earn MORE. even if its a dollar more.

ohhmyyy.. ur being sexist now =l ... deserve a (cyber) bitch slap from suga

 

[Jago]

thankyou, that was my point exactly
why can't both people work?
who makes more money is irrelevent as far as i can see

because if both parents work, there will be no "together time" and consquently lead to a possible divorce. Not to mention you're missing out on spending time with your kids.

I don't do housework. So when I get married, but husband must accept me for who I am and wash his own fucking underwear!

Also, I refuse to be the stay at home wife.

 

[Raiks]

I lived with 2 females who earned more money that I did and I was going to marry one of them and I didn't have a problem with it at all.. it was good in the sense that there was a lot more financial independence without the 'oh, can I scab a few dollars off you' thing occuring.

I've got no problem with what someone does whether it be a housewife or being the financial breadwinner, as long as they contribute to the partnership in some way. If their contribution is looking after the domestics and children, then so be it. I'd feel just as happy doing that as them being the breadwinner because I feel that as a partnership, you have to learn to work together to achieve things together.

if one partner works and the other doesnt, theres still at least 8 hrs of a day that arent spent together...which is exactly the same if both partners work!!!

 

[Jago]

yes, but when that parent gets home from work, the dinner would be made, ready to go. If both parents worked, they would come home, get the kids from the babysitter, clean up the house, and THEN go to start on dinner.

 

[hipsta_jess]

i have no words to voice how disgusted i am in your attitude right now.

 

[truly-in-bliss]

i dont like clearly defined roles, i see housework as a shared role and same to careers

hahaha what the fuck
both my parents work
and they both come home about 5-6ish in the evening
and have nighttime together

you can't really say that will result in a divorce

and the kids thing, i think that whether a parent (or both) takes time off when their children are young is a personal decision, but when they are older (ie teens) they probably wouldn't have that much 'together time' anyway, even if they are home all the time. but that isn't the point of this thread, it's who makes more money and why someone has to be the 'house husband/wife'. i don't think i could ever be a housewife.

 

[jumb]

But if they spend too much time together they may regret marrying the person. Short separation would only be a good thing.

 

[twiddla]

Couldn't care less - i mean doesn't it make me less of man if i'm afraid that i might 'look bad'. Thus i don't really care as long we get to see each other

 

[Giant Lobster]

as i said, even just a dollar more would make me happy. im impartial to washing the dishes, cleaning etc while my wife veges out on the couch watchin footy (god forbid, wot a turn off =/ ) but the MAN MUST EARN MORE!

anyway im not getting much agreement... seems like most of u guys dont care and most of you girls disagree cos ur the career type. reasonable.

 

[Jago]

i have no words to voice how disgusted i am in your attitude right now.

i never said it was the wife that's cooking the dinner!

And i didn't say it would lead to a divorce.

 

[paper cup]

you sexist bastards. no cooking cleaning sweeping or ironing for any of you, I am devoting my life to hammering that flimsy glass ceiling.

 

[Jago]

hahahaha, good luck there...

 

[paper cup]

I have a hammer and I'm not afraid to use it.

 

[Jago]

i have thousands of years of male oppression and im not afraid to use it either. Well, maybe a little...

 

[SuGa BunI =D]

i dnt need a hammer to break the glass ceiling, i’l just use a scissor to cut off any dick that get in my way keke

 

[lengstar]

i hate the corporate world. which is why i'm not doing any business/commerce subjects.
