I don’t even know if there is any group that protect men’s rights. Anyways, when the wife is very keen to earn then can her husband stop working and stay at home and carry out all the household activities. Should it be considered shameful for the man or it should be considered freedom of will.

He should surely carry out all the household duties.......but its HIS RESPONSIBILITY to provide all the monetary and emotional needs of the wife....... if he doesn't provide his wife with all her reasonable monetary requirements...he surely is WRONG........ she has "NO RESPONSIBILITY" to contribute any money she earns towards household expenses..........
Re: Working wives: If your Huby wants to become a House Husband
Another stirrer..
Re: Working wives: If your Huby wants to become a House Husband
And what do we call people whose valuable contribution consists of an incomplete judgmental one-liner.

Hmm....In other words, things would certainly get messed up for sure...
Re: Working wives: If your Huby wants to become a House Husband
my thoughts exactly
Re: Working wives: If your Huby wants to become a House Husband
Islamically, its the duty of husband to meet all the financial responsibilities of his wife and children. However, if the husband and wife have an understanding between them and they have no problem with this arrangement, we shouldn't be criticising them. I know such a couple where the husband has taken the responsibility of the brought up of children and he stays at home while the wife is focussing on her career and is the sole earning hand. Of course, it seems very odd to us but since they live in US, they think its not a big deal if the husband has chosen to stay at home. Personally to me, its really not acceptable. The husband should work since its his responsibility.
Re: Working wives: If your Huby wants to become a House Husband
^ Very good answer. Thanks. Now coming to the next question;
If a husband has a job that consists of a lot of responsibilities that can't be neglected (needs attention and concentration) and can gain him a lot of promotions in his job (hence increase in pay, status...etc.) but he thinks that he should also spare a lot of time to do a lot of house hold work after the office hours. Would he be able to get enough time for resting (unwinding) and remain fresh enough to do justice with his job every next morning ?
Would a wife want her husband to do cooking, cleaning, taking care of children...etc. at home which might lead to decrease in his performance/efficiency in his career ?
Re: Working wives: If your Huby wants to become a House Husband
There are guidelines but it's not like wives working has been made haram full-stop, is it? When there are no absolutes regarding this don't know why some ppl are turning those guidelines into something so much more rigid..
Re: Working wives: If your Huby wants to become a House Husband
no work is 24/7. he can atleast HELP at weekends. cooking,cleaning,chores donot take much time or need super-energies unless you are cleaning once every 6 months

That's what he thinks, that's what he thinks are his responsibilities, then what does the wife have to do with anything that he wants? It's his house as well, it's not a hotel he's living in. If he feels responsibility towards his domicile and he thinks that he can do both of the jobs, at the house and outside then why in the world would the wife object to it? Or in fact, anyone else around him object to him devoting his time and energy to both the things.
On the same line, same situation, but it's the wife that has to potentially spend time and energy outside of the home to further her career which would benefit the couple mutually, would the husband want her wife to do cooking, cleaning etc at home which might lead to decrease in her performance/efficiency in her career? What would you respond to that, knowing full well that it's the husband's responsibility and the wife's right to have those things provided for her.

Might do/might not..
**
Why not leave it for the couple to decide what works for them??**
Am getting seriously fed-up with these all or nothing type black + white answers from certain posters on here.. Working full time v staying at home with no compromise or inbetween.. Rational ppl do not think this way..

Re: Working wives: If your Huby wants to become a House Husband
totally agreed with AShy2010 :k:
I don’t like staying at home husbands at all. When men spend too much time at home and become House-husband(masculine of housewife :p).. they act like women seriously. Men should work.
Re: Working wives: If your Huby wants to become a House Husband
Thanks. I was just blindly typing away. Thought I got it =/
Re: Working wives: If your Huby wants to become a House Husband
Anyways, men should be working at home, and not devoting all their time outside. Otherwise this
Point to note: Because of the RHS, the divorce rate among the elderly is very high. Just an FYI.

It really depends on each couple. If the wife is willing to progress her career, the couple can hire domestic help. If they both agree, the wife can work half day to give time to children. If the wife is willing to leave her career and decides to stay at home, good for them. However, whatever the wife chooses to do, she should do it willingly and the husband should fully support her. The best thing is that the husband and wife both agree to the acceptable and workable plan and they should keep in mind that their decisions will be affecting the family and children in the long run.
Re: Working wives: If your Huby wants to become a House Husband
so you saying…husband shouldn’t have a say in what the wife chooses to do…he should always support her :khums:
Re: Working wives: If your Huby wants to become a House Husband
Just a thought. Marriage is a partnership. Everyone should think about it.
