[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many millennial men are willing & able to (a) be the sole provider so their wives can SAHM, or (b) take on 50% of house and kid responsibilities so their wives can also have a career?  I guess option (c) is the men can SAHD but very few women are actually interested in that setup.  There is your answer.  [/quote]

A - almost none, because Millennial men in general are immature and lack drive. They want to concentrate on their hobbies, traveling, gaming, etc. Especially the younger ones. Perpetual children. Younger Millennial women, I’d say those born in 1990 and later, have it the worst of all because the younger Millennial men don’t want to get married, if they do get married they don’t want kids until the very late 30s at which point you can run into fertility issues more easily, and they also want the wife to work and earn most of the money and do most of the kid-raising work.

B - lol no. Best you can hope for is treating your husband like a household employee with a list of tasks and delegating to him what needs to be done. Expecting them to be an equal partner and self initiate an equal amount of housework is setting yourself up for disaster.

C - SAHD tend to be older, and retired from something like the military or police. You can retire from the military with benefits after 20 years of service IIRC. So that puts a man around age 40, roughly. I’ve known a few men in this demographic, having kids age 40+ and mostly SAH, maybe doing some part time work, handyman type jobs, etc. They do tend to be really good dads! [/quote]
