Let me get this straight, the Smiley guy is from Russia and wants to be a "HOUSE HUSBAND" even giving his phone number... funny my friend called and she got no answer. LMAO. He hasn't set up his diverter yet and is kind of slow. I also love the fake vehicle in his profile ... very impressive. Do you have a friend from India whose girlfriend cheated on him? I tell you... this is entertainment central. rolling on the floor laughing

Do you mean "relationship" or "household"?

A relationship is seldom symmetrical: one loves more intense, the other rather allows that. (I personally find that the one, who loves, is the happiest one.)

A household is another matter. I don't expect anyone to contribute to my household and I promise to not contribute to his :)

I know it sounds old fashioned.... but I always worked (made a good living) and she ran the household.
Which after her passing and by raising 4 daughters by myself... I found she was working much harder than I ever did.

Not so much old fashioned as not working so well for women these days. Glad a male will admit that raising kids is not an easy chore as raised two practically by myself!

I love the idea of this but I think it’s very difficult now and most couples need both incomes

If I have children I would like to be at home with them as this is the way I was raised
Probably is old fashioned but that’s ok we all have different values

Ah MustangWriter, condolences on your loss, I'm sure that was a tough time for you and your family :)

yes, sadly more and more babies/young children are now being dumped into cattle pens for the day and it's considered perfectly acceptable too...

Family is being torn apart and soon "parenting" will be a forgotten skill... the dominion of only the "qualified"..

I suppose that depends upon the childcare you choose, or is available to you.

I chose self-employment working from home as a lone parent. I really didn't like the idea of someone else looking after my child. I worked a ridiculous number of hours day and night for little financial return.

I co-parented my granddaughter, by which time I was seriously running out of steam. My daughter and I decided that some of my granddaughter's care needed to be outsourced, so for three mornings a week she went to a local child minder. My granddaughter loved it and it increased the quality of her life. I had more energy when it was my turn to care for her because I didn't have to work in the night as well. My daughter got to continue with her education.

My daughter and I also learned a thing, or two about childcare from someone who was old enough to be my mother and highly skilled. It brought us more together as a family because we were less exhausted and fraught.

I really had to do a 180 with respect to my opinion about outsourcing childcare. There is no right, or wrong, as long as children are being well cared for and have an acceptable quality of life.

galrads: I like this fashion statement. on retiring 13 years ago i violated the u.s.environment environmental protection agencies rules on open burning. I took all my dress attire, ties, suits, shoes etc, and ceremoniously set them on fire in my home’s back yard.
It sounds like there's more than one violation there, even if only one of them was a written rule. laugh

What were you thinking as you performed this ceremony?

What were you feeling?

Partly, I was feeling younger and free years ago. I swore to myself in high school I would never have a job requiring me to wear a tie. That changed reluctantly post college. Wearing a tie is pointless and dangerous for some of us. Wearing a tie says I am a membership of a club and while wearing one I sacrificed part of my identity. No more. Fortunate for me I don't identify with that dress code a certain part of society looks for....

I'm sure it would be. I was going to call on Captain Obvious to answer OP's question, but the Captain just laughed at me. wink

I hated the uniforms we were forced to wear in parochial schools, especially those worn by girls.

Some kids thrive no matter what! There are some very good preschools still. Just wonder if this Pandemic will have people check priorities.
