Is being a stay-at-home mom or father a good idea?
First as a man if you want to be a stay-at-home dad that is fine as long as you can afford it and you are not making your woman work hard for you because that is just sad. Men are natural born providers, and it says so in the bible, it is not a woman's job to care of a man if he is fully capable to work (I will get to the women). Being at a stay at home dad allows the men to get to know the kids and to be there for them although the child needs both parents but it is not very often you see a man who's fully involved in a kid's life it's more of the mother's job; dads usually fix things and they leave the emotional part for the mother nothing bad about that as long as both parents agree that works for them. What is unacceptable is when the man doesn't know their kid and are not involve in the child's life... that is not good!
Is it acceptable for a woman to be a stay-at-home mom?
Back in the 1920's-1960's women were stay at home wives and they took care of the kids in the house, but a group of women fight for all of us to go to work and now we are working! the feminist movement want to be just like the men so if it is not appropriate for the man to stay at home then they don't want to be home either....let me give my 2 cents because that is what my blog is for lol
uhm I am totally fine being a stay-at-home mom, it will give me enough time to write my book when the kids are at school. Some women think being a stay-at-home wife or mom is like being a maid but are you really the maid if you own the place? taking care of a home is not an easy task! you are doing the cooking, the cleaning, the shopping and the laundry so that when your husband comes home from a long day of work everything is ready for him. I used to think that it is frown upon to be a stay-at-home wife... but why not? if we both can afford me staying home then that is fine? of course, I would never want to make my man work more than he should if I could work myself, but I also want to have everything ready for him... I might not work long hours just so i could go home and make dinner for him but that will be something to discuss with the spouse. As long as you both agree on something then never let outside noises ruin what you have in place because people can say whatever they want but they are not part of the couple, and they don't live in the house. If you want to be a stay-at-home wife than that's fine, if you want to work that is totally fine. what is not okay is a woman who is fully capable of working but chooses to be lazy and leave everything for the man! that is using him! you need to protect your man and help him when he is tired... be there for him, be a safe place for him to come home to after work. Stop with the nagging, the silent treatment if you have something to say then just say it...
