Men what would you prefer??

Question

A wife that works and expects you to carry 50/50 of the house responsibilities and be co-capitains of "the ship". (Which doesn't happen on a real ship.) Or...

Come home to a wife who has made diner, has the house clean, and she and the kids are glad you're home from work. Wants you to be the leader of the home (provided you love your family enough to think of their needs and wants before you make major decisions) And because shes not so exhausted from working all day, running to the sitters to pick up the kids,etc. She can accually have s*x on a regular basis.

Which would you prefer and why??

Answer 1

2nd

Answer 2

Naturally the 2nd ; Tried & True !

Answer 3

I'll answer on my dad's behalf. He likes having an equal partner, and he likes the breadwinning and the homemaking to be balanced out evenly. (Unfortunately for him, they're not, but that's just my mom being herself.) He doesn't seem to believe in a family having a leader. As for s*x, well, I'm definitely going to avoid that one.

Answer 4

2nd - hands down, cant wait to see how feminists are going to twist this question!

Answer 5

I want my husband to stay home with the kids while I go to work. I also want to share the household responsiblities. We make a good team and we have plenty of time for each other, because we don't worry about what needs to be done next on the list! We just take care of things as we go! And I'm never too tired for s*x! It's good for taking care of stress.

Answer 6

The second one of course.

Answer 7

Definatly the 2nd. I will help out with the chores and stuff, but it will be because I want to show my wife that she needs a break from the housework. A stay at home mum is the hardest working woman out there. I know because my mum was one and she put up with my c**p through my teen years. I love her for it, even though I didn't deserve it. The s*x thing is definatly a perk!

Answer 8

I was married for over 25 years and worked outside the home the entire time.   We had a clean home because we hired someone to do it.   When we were first married the hubby worked by going to school and acting as a handy man for our (we bought it and used the income to pay for his school)  apartment building.    We had a reasonable amount of s*x over those years-  sometimes every night for a month and then sometimes not for a month (thats normal).   When someone called and asked for the head of the household he would hand the phone to me!

More later!

Answer 9

I think most men think that women who contributes nothing financially is little more than a gold digger.....don't they?

I would rather have my own money (not an allowance), my sanity (not ga ga nappy talk), and an untidy house (I hate showhomes don't you).

Men also work all day my dear! Are you saying that they are too exhausted to have s*x on a regular basis. lol

Answer 10

No offense, but the question is asked in a biased way. Of course us guys want the second, but I don't want to be a ruler. I like being the man of my house, but I don't want it to be a monarchy. I want my girl to have a say, and if she wants a job and the kids to socialize who am I to say no?

One woman's prerogative doesn't fit all. Besides, not having any women in the workplace would be pretty boring.

Answer 11

Sure, number two sounds good on paper, but that's 50's TV.

My wife does stay home with the kids, does the cooking, most of the cleaning, and they are all happy when I get home. However, I have a fairly high-powered job, and make decisions all day. I go home to relax. She can make the home-decisions she does after all spend far more time there than I do.

Answer 12

In a perfect world that would work.

My husband is often Deployed and I spend a great deal of time alone so Im going back to work. But I will always be the wife and him the husband. I belive strongly in gender roles, cant help it I was raised that woman mother, men father. We clean, cook, cuddle. They provide, and play softball.LOL

Answer 13

You know something this post is biased; don't worry I'm coming to that bit.  I'm lucky enough to be able to stay at home and do all the things you suggest; even did them when I was working; yes I held down a job; raising two kids and the whole nine yards; had conversations with hubby and all that; days at the zoo.  Say, what about those who would love to, but their circumstances don't allow it.  They're the ones who might find this question even more biased than me.

Answer 14

You make it sound like a bad thing for a women to work and expect her husband to carry out  50/50 of house responsibilities.

I think equal relationships work just as well as "traditional" ones.

Answer 15

the second, the first is stress, you never get to relax in a spotless house, there is always something that needs doing.

Answer 16

Are you going to put in the fat -  L*****n part in about #2?   After all shouldn't the guy know he's married to a woman who really lusts after another woman.

Answer 17

wow, you're really desperate for validation aren't you? lol. my boyfriend is more than happy with our set-up and that's good enough for me :-)
