[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]no good quality man wants a woman who offers nothing other than like 'helping him at home' when he could have someone with a brain who is also attractive and smart and contributes to society AND is a good mom and partner. 
Like - why would you want a dependent? Fair if it turns out that way but not like - a life plan. esp if person not that attractive. [/quote]

[b]You don’t know men. Majority of men actually want to be the provider and have a woman stay at home. [/b]

A housewife is not a “ dependent”. The fact that so many of you women on here look down on a woman’s staying home is sad. Staying home to raise kids and take care of your home is just as valuable and important as working an office job. [/quote]

Are you familiar with the term “revealed preferences”? It’s the Econ term for “look what people do not what people say”. Most married couples— are dual income.

And unless a housewife has income from a non-professional source, such as family money or investments, she’s a dependent. [/quote]

Technically, yes. Practically, no. If she walks out today, DH would've to find cook, cleaner, nanny, tutor, therapist, may be a house manager too.[/quote]
And since he has money, he could pay for those.

Whats a SAHP supposed to do? Oh right, get child support and alimony - again dependent on someone else. [/quote]

He has money until he gets laid off.  Then what is he supposed to do?  Collect unemployment for awhile and hope that someone else will give him a job.  Doesn’t sound like he’s that independent to me.[/quote]

At least he’ll get unemployment. His tradwife will continue to get $0[/quote]

Wait, I thought she was getting alimony and child support already in this scenario (she’s already walked out on him, try to keep up).  [b]Which he is on the hook for regardless of his employment status, so now he is really up a creek.  [/b]

Guess what?  Unless you’re independently wealthy, you are dependent on someone else being willing to give you a paycheck.  Some of you will find out the hard way when your jobs get automated or outsourced.[/quote]

This is why “tradwives” are dangerous to young women.

Alimony and child support can both be negotiated downward if the father is laid off. Happens all the time. And if he’s incarcerated. And if he has more children.

A man is not a plan.

And she can get a job or a new husband.  Also happens all the time.[/quote]

“Former tradwife” is not attractive to either employers or potential new husbands. Here’s a good example:

Teach your daughters how to fill out food stamps forms.[/quote]
