I don't want to find a husband like that, how about you?

I am sorry your post makes no sense what so ever ?

Are you referring to some other question or post ?

I personally know two families in which the man is a stay at home dad.
The wife is a highly paid professional who wanted to go back to work after both her kids were born and her husband stayed home and raised them . One is now in college and the other just started High School. This has worked very well for this family.
The other family, one son is Autistic, the other deaf, the wife made the most money, so she worked and he stayed home with the boys. It has worked fine for them.
Nothing wrong with stay at home dads.

My younger brother, a life insurance salesman just beginning his career, married a woman with two small daughters. Karen had a good-paying job, and Phil had to do a lot of cold calling to get his business going, so it worked out perfectly that Karen continue to work at a job she loved, and Phil stayed home caring for the little girls, driving them to school, helping with homework, taking them to play dates, etc. When Karen came home from work, Phil had supper ready, the family ate together, and Karen would spend the evening with her daughters while Phil went on insurance appointments.

It worked out well for them. Each situation has to stand on its own merits.

If you are questioning it at this point, then it wouldn't be a good idea. For some people, it is fine. Look at both sides of the issue before making a decision like this. I feel that if one parent can stay home, great!

Great answer - it depends on the parties, the circumstances.

There is no "one answer fits all."

Where does advice end and discussion begin? Should this be moved?
