What do you think about stay at home dads?

no i think that would be very ignorant and well, stupid if someone looked down on them..they are just like everyone else that stays at home i think it is kind of sexist to assume only the mom should stay home..and if it orks for their family then that is even more great

I wouldn’t look down on them. Who ever said that the mother is the only person to stay at home? I don’t think its a rule.

My neighbor is actually a stay at home dad and looks like he’s doing a great job. Really, not only is he taking care of the kids, cleaning and cooking he is also looking after the house maintenance, gardening, etc.

Believe me, if we could, i’d find a job and have my hubby stay home. (love being a mommy and love my daughter, but its boring being at home all the time) . But we can’t as i wouldn’t make half of what my hubby makes.

But i think its great.

No. In fact, I think it’s kinda sweet and sexy in a way. I can’t even get my hubby to spend a weekend with the boys if I need to get out or do something. It’s hard work doing what we, stay at home mommas do. The more men that get out there and experience it, the less opinionated a-hole men there are out there running their mouths about things they don’t know.

I think that if it’s a decision that both mother and father are happy with then that’s fine. I personally would be proud of a man for feeling able to make that choice as it’s not exactly the norm. I imagine that other men however may make fun of it as staying at home with the kids is perceived as a woman’s job. What they don’t realise is that the one at home with the kids is actually the one with the harder job and the ones who make fun would never cope if they had to do it.
It certainly wouldn’t happen in my house, my husband would run a mile… but I can always dream.

in this day some woman can provide the bread and butter better than men can or things just work out better that way. i think if either of the parent can stay home with the child then its wonderful. i think that it is a little odd beings usually the mom is the house wife and the kids learn from that…men should be hard working ect but that is all the traditonal sence….im very traditional but many ppl arent these days. i think its fine!

it is unnatural and changes the natural dynamics of a relationship, even when the man returns to work, it remains a scar for the woman, and the man develops a chip on his shoulder

I was a SAHD for around three years when my kids were younger. It’s kind of wonderful, actually. I took some flack from other men regarding being “PW,” but I never let it bother me. I was doin g what was right for my family, and I enjoyed it. I love my job, too, mind you, but I sure am glad I was able to have a few years of day-to-day bonding with the kids.

I think that men should have as much right to stay home and raise the kids as the women do! A lot of the time the women stay home instead because the men usually bring in more money. (Not in all situations though!!) I am a stay at home mom because my husband was making a hell lot more than I was.

Same as stay at home moms.

And no of course not, The only person that would look down on a SAHD is simply a sexist. If the woman has the higher earning job…why shouldn’t the man stay at home with the children instead?

I would love to be able to go back to work and my husband see what its like to be a stay at home father. MOST kids are not close to their dads bc they are the working type and don’t get to spend alot of time with their children. I don’t look down on them at all. They deserve crdit for all they do and willing to put their male ego aside and stay home with the kids.
