"....‘The honeymoon period lasts for six to 12 months then the woman starts to feel resentful when she comes home and Dad is watching TV with the kids and the house is a tip.
‘There is also a sense of embarrassment among many women when their friends find out their men are full-time dads, which they hate.
'Bottom line is, they don’t respect their other half any more. If they don’t respect him, they don’t fancy him — and it’s a slippery slope.’
I also know of house husbands who were dealt the cruelest blow of all: their wife, no longer turned on by their man-about-the-house, ran off with a dashing alpha-male colleague...."
Stay tuned tomorrow for the next installation of this week's series on gender roles, in which we reveal that babysitting your children is emasculating and why dads who want sex should leave childcare to their wives as much as possible.
Why a new thread on this? Doesn't this just follow along the existing thread?
All that said, what is the guarantee of the wife feeling resentful? Do men often feel resentful of stay at home wives? If they are, could it be because the men are lazy house husbands, and not actually doing much to keep the house in tip top shape?

This may be tongue in cheek for you, but i actualy completely and fully believe that women should take care of the children. Of course modern feminazi ideals will tell you different, but they are simply defying human nature.

You also believe that alimony is unfair, and people should leave a marriage with what they came in with, right?
"Feminazi"? Good lord. Using Rich Limbaugh-isms is another way to show what kind of person you are. Hint: it's not one that comes across as smart, worldly or witty.
Wow, so much recently on gender roles and expectations.
IMO, what it really comes down to is that each individual couple (married or not) should be working together on child care, household chores, finances, or whatever. However, not just drawing a line down the middle, or picking straws, but playing to each other's strengths to help build up and make up for each other's weaknesses.
Sometimes, in a specific situation this may or may not mean aligning with expected gender roles.
When this happens, it is going to make for a happier, healthier, and more efficient marriage and/or relationship. It is all part of the dynamic of living with someone you love, and striving to help them be better, and to raise all boats.
In broad based studies, maybe this shows some trends towards expected gender roles for various reasons. However, it by no means makes gender roles the rule by which any and all should live by.
