How many wifes would let their husband choose to stay at home if he wanted to supporting him ?

I went to work 6 days a week while my husband was studying at University. Now that he has a job I study part-time and work part time. How many wifes would let their husband choose to stay at home if he wanted to supporting him ?
Max Power, what DO you make besides negative reviews? You sound like a kid that lives at home.





To answer the stay at home husband question, first, make sure that you're happily married and that he is everything that you want in a man, second, make your expectations clear to him and make sure his expectations are clear to you because if you don't see eye to eye you'll prob get into arguements.





Don't do this with a boyfriend, you'll regret it.How many wifes would let their husband choose to stay at home if he wanted to supporting him ?
It's a fairly common occurrence; I can name several male friends who are partially or entirely financially supported by their wives.





Far less common, I think, is the idea of letting them stay home and DO NOTHING (or, as a cover, be a 'house-husband,' and pretend that raising children and housekeeping are prohibitively time-consuming); of all the examples I can name, the men involved are using their time in a productive way in some manner (of the three I can think of, two are pursuing advanced degrees, and one is starting a business).





In our society, it's something of a social stigma to be fully an adult (meaning an adult with full rights) and fully capable and to not work, nor educate oneself, nor work toward anything that would ultimately benefit either of those ends, for an extended length of time.
Apparently something like 37% of men said they would stay at home if their wife made enough to support them. I personally would love it if my husband (when I get married) would want to stay home when we first have kids (though not indefinitely--just for early child care). That way the children would be with one of the parents, we'd be saving money on child care, and he could keep the house clean (I hate cleaning. I do it, but I don't care for it). I see nothing wrong with it. Taking care of children full time in an honorable job and I would fully support my husband if this is what he wanted to do (though I would NEVER force him to).
He could stay at home, but he'd have to maintain his own accounts and spend his own money. Also, he'd have to actually do something with himself and not just sit on his a-ss all day.





For the record, I would never, ever ask my husband to support me.





JACKSON H: I don't believe in financially supporting an adult who is perfectly capable of financially supporting themselves. If the situation were reversed and he wanted me to handle my own expenses, I'd love him twice as much.
I stay at home and on a good day, I make more than you in a year, on a bad day I can lose more than you in a year. So quit sounding like a little biitch.





EDIT: Hell yes, I have been shorting since the Obama recession :)





Jane: You can never understand the depth of knowledge of the markets and the economy to make 3 hours of work equal your pay for one year.
There are loads of househusbands around. I know several myself. I would definitely do it in the future if the situation arose and it was the best idea. Assuming there are children involved and/or the house is taken care of, not just for them to laze around. Would rather have kids being looked after by their father than in child care.





Oh look here's a woman supporting her husband http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>





Harriet
';Wifes don't get to choose';. It is a decision both parties make according to the needs and demands of their family. Many women are working with a stay at home spouse.





And no it it would not have worked for either of us in my marriage.
Absolutely! Working outside the home has so many more benefits, health benefits, psychological benefits, financial control, social benefits, career benefits etc.





I would be more than happy for my partner to stay home while I went to work (I'm assuming there's children involved??).
IUt's not about 'letting' it's about deciding what you both want to do, if my husband wanted to stay at home that would be great. I would love for ys to be able to work together in my business.
If he was choosing to stay home to take care of the kids, what's wrong with that?

If I had a career where I was earning lots of money then I probably woudln't mind, but since I'm not that kind of person and never have been it is a little hard to imagine.
I wish I could afford a stay at home husband. It would be wonderful to know my daughter was being given constant parenting even while I'm at work and having my house clean and supper cooked when I got home.
hell no


get a job and stop making your wife stress out mor then she has too.


i bet when she gets home she makes the food and you are just suposably taking care of the kids.


b u l l s h i t.
No way! Unless of course there are kids involved in which case yes I would support it. Otherwise if you can work then you have no excuse to sit at home.
If I was rich and he did all the cooking and cleaning and worshipped my ***- then sure, okay.
Twelfty!
I would. It would save on daycare.
My lazy hubby did that for five years. I finally booted him out a few weeks ago. It's the best thing I've ever done!
I would

Why would he have to spend his own money if you make enough to support the family? Men don't ask women to spend their own money in this situation; don't the men usually give the women money to spend?





Loveligh-


Why would the husband need to do all the cleaning and cooking? Rich wives usually hire butlers and cooks.
