[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make plenty so it's financially feasible and I do want a family, but I feel like more and more men are using the "I'm a feminist and I'd like to raise kids" excuse to cover for their lack of ambition and success.[/quote]

+1 There was a study that came out about 15 years ago that showed that women that stay home to raise kids were happier than women who worked (no judgment, just repeating what I heard on NPR) while men who stay home were miserable compared to men who work.[/quote]

I don't believe this study. Most Stay at home moms are very unhappy and miserable. Oh and entitled. [/quote]

Uhhh, I think the study done 15 years ago reflected the fact that there were few SAHDs back then and as a group they tended to be looked down on by both men and women.

SAHDs were often excluded or made to feel awkward in "Mommy and me" type classes and generally the SAHMs preferred to get together with other moms for play dates leaving the SAHDs (and there kids) feeling isolated.

I think that has gotten better now - SAHDs are a little more accepted now.[/quote]

Maybe in California but not here in DMV. But at least we have Daddy and Me groups.

Did you see the thread where moms wouldn't have play dates of the dad is hosting, or not call or text them but always go through the wife. It's like they think Dynasty is real life and something explicit will blossom over games of chutes and ladders. [/quote]
