Lagoona22: Pick me!!...pick me!!!!....I can take out trash better than anyone!!!...you want that tap fixed??....done!!....pick me pick me!!!..
Want that dirty baby's bottom cleaned, baby fed and burped, those clothes washed and ironed, that whole house dusted and floors mopped - Pick him! Pick him!
krisha: hi cher excellent question as my opinion mostly the man who have disability problems they do that and we can understand the situation,but if the man is in good shape how he could say he will just stay at home?a kind of laziness but if he have another financial major like apartments or have pension that is fine but not to let us work alone and shoulder the financial responsibilities..
It worked for me Krisha. It is not for everybody. I loved being out of the house everyday. I think it was the only time I was real sad when a relationship ended.
Hmmmmm............now that you put it that way......

RDM59: Hi-T, good post. I wouldn't have a problem with that at all if my partner had a more prospourous career. It would be for the finacial benefit and security of the family.
Infact when my kids were toddlers my wife wanted to go back to work as she couldn't handle being a full time mum / house wife, it wasn't because she had an amazing career. Being self employed and me working from home we were in a position where that could be achieved. It meant alot of multi-tasking, getting kids up, breakfasted, off to nursery no.1, pick up, lunch then off to nursery no.2 etc, etc. I managed to squeeze in a few hours work here and there but could only get some solid work done between 8pm and 3am and at weekends so quality family time was sacrificed and also between my wife and myself but it was what she wanted so I provided. Her salary only just covered the nursery fees so is wasn't for financial gain.
We were so busy and exhausted and had so little time together that we eventually drifted apart. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, wish I had been less accommodating and a bit more selfish .... but I'm learning
It is all about finding balance in a relationship. To try not to loose the connection between the two people and let other things crowd it out. It is always a hard balancing act.

I work from home now so I couldn't imagine the man in my life and myself both being home We'd probably drive one another crazy.LOL
After a number of years of being a stay at home mom by choice when my late husband was alive I have a feeling I'd still end up doing alot of the traditional "housewife" duties because I've always loved to be and my dream was to be a stay at mom.
mbcasey: I am on disability and cannot work now. I would be pleased to be a househusband. And I can contribute monetarily, maybe not alot but enough to help.
I would do all the house chores and take care of the kids.
I have always had a good work ethic and it pains me I cannot work. It does feel somewhat unmanly to be in this position, but that's where I am and have to make the best of it.
I do not think it is unmanly, maybe I am just too mannish...

HJFinAZ: Did they not get respect, or did they "perceive" they did not get respect??
I have known some that are never content..
Maybe some men did but a lot didn't they jus saw it as well the natural order of things, I think it deserved the same respect as the man going out to make the bacon.
