Do any of you man boobed dudes or ladies intend to be (or are) Stay-at-home-parents??

I just wandered what percentage of this generation intend to give up full employment to become full time parents.

I just find it strange like people like my mother back in the day with a bachelor and master degree ended up packing it all in to become a full time mother.

although times were slightly different back then, i'm wondering if men and women alike nowadays would be willing to do the same?

any full time parents on the hype? if so, how is it like, is it as rewarding as people think it is and at what age of your kids (if ever) would you consider gong back to full time employment.

personally i'm not family orientated at this moment so i can't see myself giving up a career.

saying this, i'm not sure i could see myself being with a partner who was 100% devoted to being a housewife, it just doesn't sit right, something about it makes me feel as though a piece of their lives are being sacrificed in order to raise the children and this could manifester as resentment towards them later in life and what child really needs that on their shoulders.



thoughts are welcome even from non-milk producing boobyless men.

 

1. you're born on the same day as Jay Z

2. Would you consider it if she didn't make the given position or would that not be applicable financially

3. you=under ze thumb

j/k

 

did she tell you to say that?



i kid but still, you would have to keep your mind limber some how, how would you cope?

 

what's stopping you then when the time comes?


also another question...

if finances were not an issue, would having two full time parents be anymore beneficial than just the one?

 

some men actually do have larger bust sizes than some females, it's quite worrying when you end up as that kinda couple...

 

that's the thing, for some reason, being a stay at home dad is kinda considered taking it easy and relaxing, i'm sure most housewives wouldn't paint such a pretty picture of it.

 

although there's the whole housekeeping aspect.

work stress and home stress are very different but perhaps until experience, weighing one up as being less stressful than another may not be the best method.

also as for the relaxed environment, that really doesn't come into account until you can start reasoning as an adult with your children which again occurs at different ages for you kids but say you get landed with a couple of toddlers in one swoop, then initially for the first few years, you're going to be fairly bummed out trying to fit in all your daily chores and so forth.

don't you think so?

 

man boobs, breast milk, go with the flow...

 

how come, are they attracted to the lifestyle you lead?

if the choice was yours to stay at home for the duration of let's say, one of your children's childhood years (first four years of life), would you?

 

toddlers aren't going to hoover on your behalf

isn't it impossible to be relaxed around toddlers?

you're skipping all the messy parts of parenting and going straight to the good easy part

 

is that the first three years full stop, or the first three years of each child's life which could cumatively mean something like seven years or so?
