Men, would you like to be a house husband?

Question

Following on from dsds's question, do you like the idea of staying at home, looking after the kids and doing the cooking, while your partner goes to work full time to support the family financially?

Answer 1

Nope kids would be dead because I'm horrible with children

Answer 2

Yes,stay ome and take care of home and cook and care for pets,no kids !!

Answer 3

Do you mean like have the nanny watch the kids, while the house keeper cleans and I run to Starbucks , The Gym , The Salon, and Macy's with your credit card ?

Sure , Why not ?

Answer 4

No way.

I have too much to achieve in life to sit around the house watching brats. That's what a nanny is for.

But I have nothing against other women or men who choose to do that. If that's what makes you happy... more power to ya. But its NOT for Mike T.

Answer 5

That is my ultimate goal.

Answer 6

I saw on Good Morning America that stay at home dad's have a extremely higher heart attack rate then women.  

Men are meant to work, protect us and be the breadwinners.  Men and women may be equal but we are FAR from the same:)

Answer 7

Yes I was a househusband for five years. It was awesome

Answer 8

I have been like that for decades ....no problem ....

Answer 9

Yes, because I am a great cook and cleaning comes natural to me. I also like kids. I Would stay home and be a househusband or work and contribute income. I would be flexible and fit in where I was needed.

I think as long as you work together and help each other then you can both achieve your dreams and ambitions. These days us men seem to be moving into this role more and more. Someday it might be the norm.

Answer 10

No, but you quite accurately described my concept of h**l.

The horrible sounding name of "house husband" probably also doesn't help.

Answer 11

I'd be totally cool with that.  I *love* kids and can't wait to be a dad.  I'm also a way better cook than any woman I've ever dated and they've all agreed so yeah: if my wife was a high-earning corporate type, lawyer, or doctor, and she was cool with it I'd be happy to take on the more domestic side of things.

Besides, I'm a writer/illustrator by trade so I'm more of a home-worker anyways.

Answer 12

I for one would choose death!

Answer 13

If there are no kids involved, that would be a sweet deal.  At most, I'd spend a half hour a day cleaning.  Some days a couple hours shopping.  And an hour or two cooking.  The rest of the time would be mine.  If there were kids involved, I'd want no part of it.  Kids drive me insane.  

Answer 14

I would stay home and in my free time try to invent something or do something constructive........That or I might just play video games.

Answer 15

Not really.

I like working, i like working hard, when i get home all tired i feel elated and satisfied.

Then i play Xbox :P
