In this bad U.S. economy, I'm sure this is occurring at great rates. Hubby & wife may be living in 2 diff states/countries. They may be going for 2nd degree at night. This can create a LOT of stress!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10539912.post-32045522384709334242009-05-11T13:09:00.000-04:002009-05-11T13:09:00.000-04:00Great topic!

Leave it to you HC for giving people a reality check on their talent :-)<br /><br />The only guys who get a pass from their spouses at being stay at home dads are those who are successful in the creative field.

Both went to top ivies in US and make six figure salary. I asked them what if they become very successful and make 5-10 times more than their husband. Would they be fine if their husband wants to become house husband. Both of them very NO ...They want their husband to be working even if he does not make much. I guess most woman are uncomfortable of introducing their husband to their friends as homemaker.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10539912.post-20526075550835366942009-05-09T17:09:00.000-04:002009-05-09T17:09:00.000-04:00Anon - In that scenario a house-husband does not m...Anon - In that scenario a house-husband does not make much sense does it ? He might as well work so there is a second income. For both average men and women, the spouse is better served working than not if the couple have aspirations (material mainly) that a single income cannot fulfill. Sometimes, the additional income is not enough to offset the cost of childcare etc in which case the best option is to stay home. <br /><br />For a house-husband situation to work out it would require a man to be supremely comfortable in his skin married to a woman who is secure about herself, respects the man for the role he is playing now but is also very confident that he could be successful in the world outside home.Heartcrossingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11611681863892546438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10539912.post-86634097214832848262009-05-09T12:04:00.000-04:002009-05-09T12:04:00.000-04:00One big problem women have is they are uncomfortab...One big problem women have is they are uncomfortable with the idea of house husband.
