So there is this guy he married some girl like 10 years ago, they were like classmates or something. any how, they got married and things were fine and all. They both started working and it was all hunky dory. But over the years , his wife started making more money than he does and like progressed more than he did, but for that she has had to work more and put more hours in.
Now they got two kids, and he feels like they need more attention and time than what they are currently getting.
he is thinking of taking care of the kids, since they have some savings and the wife earns enough money to keep things comfortable…
now would it be a good idea to go ahead with this? what would the kids think? what would others think that he lives off his wife’s money. also, what if his wife stops respecting him and all those things.
kids would b happy they r getting more attention, what others think doesnt matter and he should discuss with his wife if he leaves job without her agreement surely he is going to lose respect
Nothin wrong with it... I think its a good thing t give the kids more time...specially if the mother needs to work more hours..
BUTTT i would say keep a part time job beside...cuz home tasks and takin care of kids aint filling the complete day ..
specially when the kids go to school etc
One of my uncles is like that..coz his wife earns loads of money, so he stays home and takes care of everything and the kids...they seem to be fine and doing well.
I think they should do what suits them. If it works y not the other way around? If a man can respect a woman for wanting to work I think women should extend the same cutesy of respecting him if he wants to look after the kids.
The important decision will be to see if it will make one resent the other? Will she 5 years down the line resent him if the kids are closer to him? will he resent her for her success?
If the kids are school age then it makes little sense, if they are younger and he wants to take a couple of years until try are school age that's fine. He should however have something going, even if it is a project based consultancy or freelancing, keeps skills in use and will have positive effects otherwise. That is assuming he is looking to go back to work some day.
He should have some kind of work. Sitting at home all day can drive a person nuts, especially if the kids go to school. What's he going to do at home all day?
this is equality if wife wants to stay at home for kids she is good mother bcz she is sacrificing her career if a father does the same he shoud b give more respect

did u see any housewife going mad, they enjoy gossiping with nieghbors watching tv etc and seem prety busy so a guy can also find something to keep him busy
I really like this idea. As far as both partners are contented and okay with it. I don’t think so there is much trouble involved in it. Kids need attention at certain age. If in case situation comes husband can takes care of the home tasks and Wife works.
Wow just imagine! Wife entering the house after work, Husband Take off wife coat, Carry the hand bag and rush to the kitchen for serving the dinner table.
The feeling itself it soo temping. By the way. We both work! I come back home at 6.00 and Cook daily fresh food. Then I have to clean kitchen and so many house works. No doubt he loves helping me whenever needed.

No two marriages/couples are alike. So, if these people are comfortable in this arrangement, mature enough to handle the unconventional roles they're taking on, secure enough to see that working or staying home doesn't make the mom less of a mother or the dad less of a father...then I don't see the harm.
