I find it interesting that the women feel that we men who are posting are not breadwinners, assuming that if we were proper breadwinners we wouldn't have the time to post here. But at the same time they say THEY are breadwinners. And they are soo good at it!
Hahahaha. Double standard much ladies?
no double standard, just pointing out the rampant selfishness in this thread that I find unbelievable.
As my Dad told me growing up if a wife chooses to work outside of the home that's fine,but if a woman HAS to work the husband is a failure! Sorry but I agree!
Women nag when the guy doesn't take charge and do what needs to be done.
Women nag when they THINK there's something that needs to get done that he isn't doing. That doesn't mean that the thing in question needs to get done at any point in the near future. But they want him to.

Many couples find they both need to work. In this day and age it isn't easy to be a stay-at-home Mother. I am an RN and every single Dr and RN who has left on maternity leave comes back to work within 3-6 months because they simply can't afford to live on their husband's income. It is a heavy burden for a man to be the sole breadwinner (or woman for that matter). The other half should shoulder at least a little of the financial load.

We wouldn't nag if you guys did it the first time we asked nicely!
Because it has been seen how reactions can be different in the forum depending if the OP is male or female.

People can do what the like in the confines of their relationship if that is what is agreed upon. If a woman stays home and cares for the kids, fine
That’s fine if she does. She’s contributing something to the marriage by staying at home, right? Just like he is by bringing the income to have a house, food, clothing, some luxuries, transportation, etc. But in this case, she is not doing anything at home or outside. She’s just doing things for “self-fulfillment.” Why not do those “self-fulfilling” things on the weekends or when there’s free time? Imagine if the husband found self-fulfilling to just spend all day throwing darts at the bar with his friends, going fishing, etc. while neglecting his family. Not nice, huh?

As long as both parties are happy with the situation everyone wins. EXCEPT when something bad happens and the breadwinner can longer win bread. THEN the tables turn, and that husband or wife better be prepared to get out and work.
Well, the wife from this story should do one of those because she doesn’t seem to bring much in the house or outside.

So if you can’t wash the dishes nicely, have a healthy warm dinner waiting for him at the table when he arrives, mop the floors in a timely manner, have his shirts ironed, wear your apron appropriately, have the house nice and clean, etc. then you are a failure as a wife, right?

If it's a choice to come back to work I am all for it! However expecting a woman to give birth to a child and then have to leave the child in someone elses care( because the husband/father can't provide for the family) is a failure in my eyes.

That's a stupid doo-doo dumb assumption. How about if the father become injured and can no longer do a certain job? The father died? The father became terminally ill? I know a fantastic lady who has been through a situation like that. She worked because her husband became ill, then unfortunately, passed away. She took care of him AND the children. Out of love. Is he a failure?

If you choose to stay at home then you should ensure the home runs smoothly....not a stepford wife!!
