A woman's place is in the home...

All joking aside. I did enjoy reading this thread and the posts in it.

There is no harder job than raising a family. There is a bit of an injustice being done to those mothers who stay home on here. The respect that should be given to them is not measurable.

There is no job, that is more important than raising my kids.

I have combined both but if I had of had to choose between one or the other I would of had my kids and raised them. The job could of waited.

I do not think this is even a gender issue. One of my friends wife walked out, actually went for cigarettes and never came back. He raised two kids by himself and did as good a job or better than I could or am.

Best we can hope for is that all of our children are raised with someone there to care. Be it that they work or are at home.

Sermon over.

 

the thought alone bores me.

Nowadays you cant just have one partner working unless he makes big bucks. BOTH have to be working.

I think the thought the OP had is too old fashion.

IMO I want to be working too. Though, I want my husband or boyfriend to make a little more than me. oh and for a fair share of doing chores and helping out me with kids

any couple that knows team work and compromising, is a great couple.

 

well the highpoint of my wife's day will be the sex...

 

This is eactly what I am talking about. I consider raising children to be the most important job in the family.

It deserves high respect.

I do realize that I am very fortunate that I have resources.

Since I do and there is no need for her to bring in income, why not stay at home?

It is not like I am going to lock her in a closet. She will have more freedom than most people do.

Also remember I live in Central and South America.

No American of European would work for what they pay in Latin America.

Besides it is not legal for non citizens to work there.

 

I honestly believe that raising our kids is the most important thing we shall ever do.

If a woman or man wishes to stay home and raise them and the means are there to do so then they should and they should be respected for doing so.

I do think if that is what you wish to find in a partner, you will. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a mommy and be home. I think in society today we have made this almost a bad thing.

I have heard so many stay at home mom's asked, what do you do all day, especially once kids are a little older. It really is rather disturbing as the assumption is made that it is easy.

I often wonder why so many people forget that equality is being able to make a choice.

I am very happy to be barefoot in my kitchen and when I need to put on my stockings and heels and hit corporate to also do that,but not at the expense of my family. That is choice.

 

What about divorce? Everybody knows that about 50% of marriages end in divorce. If it has been many years since a woman had any work experience, she's going to have a much harder time getting a job after her marriage ends. I think there are quite a few married women who keep their careers to keep some options open - just in case.

 

Well no because it wasnt really a relationship...more like fucking each day on drugs :tongue:
Although if we were living together then...actually no it would be the exact same then too haha.

Towards the end of this year though, Im going to be living in my girlfriends garden till I can find a job () while shes working. I dont think it will make me feel any less of a man though shes trying to find work for me before then anyway and if all else fails then its definitely not going to be too hard to find work in a pub...even if it means completely selling out and working for one of those shit tourist Irish pubs time will tell I suppose...

 

I think that if Unknown has the bucks and a women that fits his bill comes along --great. What Zero said is important and it's a good idea for women to get a trade BEFORE kids come along ,so that in the event of a divorce or death of a partner that was supporting her,life will be a hell of a lot easier to handle, than if she's stuck without being able to make a decent living.To each his/her own path. I had a trade when separation jumped up and made me a single dad--I don't know how bad it could have been if I hadn't. I can guess tho. You never know in this life what could pop up and bite you --you have to anticipate(if possible) worst-case scenarios.

 

What is it with men and wanting a second mummy. A new mummy for when they are a grown man!

Man the fuck up and realise there is more to life than having a slave at home who does everything for you.


Saying you want a partner who is mindless/braindead & boring enough to want to just stay at home and look after your meaningless possessions doesn't say much about you.

A women who want's adventure and has passion for doing great things in life should be the wife you want. A role model for your kids! Someone you can share hobbies and life with! Wtf you gonna talk about.. your day at work? her day of cleaning.

What sort of relationship is that!


There is that term bored housewife..

Stop being a baby.. Your mummy was great but it's time for the real world!

 

it's a clip from a movie. you dont know the context

 

Besides, it looks like Shannen Doherty and she sorely needs a beating.

 

Are you just enough old fashioned?

=P

 

my wife will be the homemaker

the caretaker will raise our children. children will see us during meals and designated times for family, otherwise they will be in the presence of the caretaker.

 

It is clear that you have not read this thread. If you did you would know better.

I have a cook and a house cleaner already.

I understand it is not fashionable these days to actually have a parent at home

I mean there is always daycare or babysitters that you can pawn the kids off when it gets to inconvenient.

Putting words in my mouth makes you look like a real fucktard.

No where in this thread did I say anything about wanting a mindless, brain dead and boring girl.

Quite the contrary. Managing the house affairs is a big responsibility. Raising kids is even more important.

That is the great thing about life...we can choose what we want and so can our partners.

I know what I want.

As far as the real world. I understand that more than you do.

When you deal in international business you get a clue what the real world is.

Most of the world is not like North America or Europe.

Hate to tell you this...most of the real world is like me.

The woman if she is able to, will happily choose to stay home as opposed to going out and working.

Current Western values do not translate to most of the world.

 

Actually no most of the world is not like you, even in Iran most women work. In fact east Asia including Japan and South Korea have among the lowest birth rates in the world due to the fact of a work ethic that consumes both male and females.

 

Having to work and wanting to work. Two different things.

The preference is staying at home. Necessity forces people to do things that they do not want.

So yes, sorry I am right.

 

No, fine in that case it's a need to stay home. Most of history including up to the 20th century people had many kids, someone had to stay home and watch them. Then the wars came around, men went off to war, women had to take their jobs, and companies realized women can in fact do hard labor and women realized staying at home sucks. Fuck the kids.

 

I do understand what you are saying.

I also understand that I will have to find my wife in Latin America. Because it looks like I will never find a North American girl that wants to stay home and raise a family.

I am not going to force anyone to do what they do not want to do.

But you made some very good points. Fuck the kids. That is what happened.

 

I am a stay at home mom... It's not that hard to live on one income, you just need to know how to handle money. ie, not pissing it away. Too many people feel the need to keep up with the Jones.

 

Exactly

Personally I am glad that I don't have to live with some traditionalist douchebag... of course, it's not really traditional because in pretty much every early human society, women did much more than just raise children and take care of the home.

I don't really know any families where the man makes enough money to support the family.
