[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a man with a SAHM wife.  It works well for us.

However, I can understand the non-double standard for women not wanting a SAHD.  Men, in general, are not as good at the details necessary to be a very good home-maker.  The cooking and cleaning, sure.  What about the art projects, the thank-you cards, the holiday event planning, the clothes shopping.  That is also the role of a good SAH parent.  It's not just about babysitting.

Even if he was good at all the above, I could see a woman finding this all too emasculating.

But, every family should do what works for them.  [/quote]

So women are only good at those tasks???? That is so sexist. There are many 'mommy' roles I better than DW and 'daddy' task DW does better than me.

I think your experience as a breadwinner is reinforcing social prejudices; I don't think there is a gene for holiday planning....

How much do you do with your kids and at home? Are you living. 1950s life with slippers and martini at the door?[/quote]
