If he wanted me to stay at home.. that would be find by me.. Wouldn't have to ask ME twice. If he wanted me to work.. (and I didn't NEED to).. I would probably do that of my own choice anyway. (coz I would get bored staying at home.. floating in the bath all day.. wandering about doing the housework/cooking.. it would bore me really with nothing else to do)
Over the years I have had all of the scenarios, both off us working full time, him at home while I worked, me at home while he worked. In more recent years since I have seperated I have found that the ideal for me is part time work,I work 8.30am to 2.30 pm Mon to Fri in a job I love and with the exception of school holidays am home when the children get in from school.

I TRY to keep my hours somewhere around there too.. (tho in my job it varies a little)
I like it that way.. It means I'm home (usually) when I need to be.

Hola Vonney!
Hiya Hun
Actually I am back in work after a week off, the kids on mid term as well, thought I woudl never get back lol couldnt be at home all day would go crazy
Are women really designed to sit at home and look after family or is it all about social, traditional, cultural way of life that has made her role like housewife. I also seeking information how it is in nature, do female of other species work for bread? or Does simply caretaking for family? Any biologist views welcome...
Men and women are suppose to work together as one unit for the betterment of the unit. This can come in many forms. It is for them to decide as the situation dictates.
One person should never use the other. But sadly that is the case most of the time. One would like to stay home and let the other do all the work.
If one is working 16 hours, the other should get a job and work 8 hours and give relief to the other. The time that the one now has open can be used for the unit to share life together.
All things should be done fair and equal for BOTH. If one is able to make more for the unit, enough for the unit, then duties can be changed from support to another purpose. Such as home making.
Child rearing depends on situation of course. But a child needs the stable home and the influence of BOTH parents to be a well rounded person. Not only the influence, but the love and shown approval of both paraents.
The single unit is the family unit. All are part of one greater living unit with each having their part and duties to the others while being supported with love and caring by the unit as a whole.
Most discussions about family units are two sided, giving a veiw into the hearts of those discussing the issue. Few seem to have in their hearts or minds that there is not to be two sides..........but only one.........WE!........the family as one unit.
When a man and wife start talking in two units the marriage as a true marriage is on a path to destruction. This is why most marriages today end in divorce.....they find, date, and marry as two units. Doomed from the beginning!
I could never stay at home all day. Ideally part time or job share would be great. It would give me more time to do the things I enjoy doing.
Also I am very independent and could never rely on anyone else for money. I choose how I spend my money and don't have to explain myself when I spend too much.
