I would rather have a rich sugar mama wife than a 24/7 stay at home wife who does not financially contribute to the household.
Now, see I'd be edgy all the time afraid my sugar daddy would up and leave... I'd never be able to be comfortable in that situation. But it would be fun to try... Mutual dependency has it's benefits.

Yeah, I agree, I'd be afraid my "sugar" momma might get bored with me after a couple of years and kick me to the curb. Hence my own job.
What countries are requiring women to work in the field? I don't know of any countries that require anyone to work. Life can suck if you don't but that's your choice.
Everybody had to work in the old communist/socialist days in the former Eastern block. "We can do it!," you know. I'm not saying there was a law per se about it, but being a homemaker was frowned upon and very unusual. Of course, people also couldn't afford it anyway. And the kids had to be raised by the "country" , just like here now. Of course, the controlled media is the one responsible for the spreading of all these "trends" - here and there, then and now.
Personally, my husband takes pride in the fact that he financially supports our family... without assistance from me.
Of course, I've never been one of "those" women who needed someone else telling them what to do all day in order to feel I'm contributing to my family, or to not be bored.
We have plenty of "things", eat out more than any other 2 income family we know... and yet all those women who do "more" still find the time each week... to ask ME to help THEM.
Whatever. If all women worked outside of the home, imagine how little volunteer work would get done... especially considering how little gets done now. Stay at home moms used to take care of aging parents, children, neighbors, etc. Now when someone hears I stay at home, they may ridicule me behind my back or on an anonymous forum board, but the second their kid gets sick, or they have to work late or their dh gets hung up at work... who do they call?
The sugar momma won't get bored if you know how to rock her boat right in the bedroom.
But don't forget, Jeff Jarrett ... there are plenty of other "rockers" out there! You think you men are the only ones who require a little variety??? Guess again, grasshoppah!

Don't lump us all in one boat here. I've worked full time since my oldest was 8 weeks old and I never asked a stay at home mom to take care of my kids. There are always going to be people who try to take advantage of others and it has nothing to do with whether or not they work for a living.
From day one, my husband and I simply decided whose job could better handle them missing the day if one of the kids was sick. Usually, he was the one to stay home. I swear, our pediatrician was starting to wonder if my kids had a mom by the time they were two as he'd taken them to 90% of their doctors visits. But, you know, that's a good thing really. Most dads don't get to be that involved in their kids lives.
I also took care of an aging father, step father, step mothe and grandmother while working. Working doesn't stop you from taking care of family. It just dictates which hours you'll do it in.
And I also volunteered (before I became a teacher. It's hard to take time off when you teach). In fact, I think volunteering at the school was easier for me than for the stay at home moms. They had to find someone else to take care of siblings in order to be in the classroom. I just had to take half a vacation day.
My company was big on volunteering too. We were allowed to take up to 40 hours a year for community service provided the company approved the project. My whole group spent several days fixing up a shelter for people coming out of rehab one year. This is one of the things I miss about my old company.
Honestly, I think for every negative/positive you can find about either situation, you can find another positive/negative in the other. There are good things about both lifestyles.
Only if he greets me at the door wearing nothing but saran wrap...
BTW, my husband cooks, does the grocery shopping and will clean the kitchen. He also does the gardening and all the yard work.
No, I'm no sharing.
He does the dishes too? Where DID you find him?
Yeah if he greets you at the door with dinner on the table and wearing a little somethin', somethin'... I'd be all for being a "sugar momma" - with a househusband. Take care of my needs, do the dishes, cook me my dinna', wash my clothes, take care of the kids... yeah, where do I sign up?
