boys: could you be kept by yourr wife/ girrlfrriend?
lets say you got marrrried and yourr wife had a grreat job, could you stay at home with the kids all day and get an allowance off herr?
girrls: would you be happy to supporrt yourr man if he stayed at home with the childrren?

Yes if that's what he wanted to do
I'd support him in anything as long as he didn't want to quit his job to become a part time hobo or anything =op

i don't know any woman that would rather stay at home with kids than have a career...it really wouldn't make any change for me, as long as she's happy. if she wants to be with kids that's ok, and if she wants to go to work, that's ok too..

times arre a-changin'
it's a complicated one. in times not long gone by women had to stay at home and be a housewife now 99.9% of women have no option but to worrk even if they would rratherr be a housewife. men arre parrt of the prroblem. 'oh, they want equal rrights... we'll give them equal rrights' attitude.

i think i disagree with that a bit...i think most of the girls these days would prefer a career over housekeeping. the only exception are women who's goal in life is to have many kids, but personally i don't know anyone who'd want many...our population is constantly descenting, so my way of thinking has probably something to do with it too :)

The "staying at home cleaning and looking after the kids" option is just as important if not more. Though getting money is vital too.

1) no, I don't think I would feel comfortable in such situation. I think this is because of the way I've been raised by parents, friends, school, literature, movies..
2) I knew a guy who lived with my cousin, she's 28 now, and they had a daughter together. The guy was much weaker than her, not educated, having no good job but having a lot of ambitions. So he left his job because he thought it sucks, but couldn't find a new job. While this, my cousin have found a well-paid (for Ukraine) job thus becoming even more independent. The guy obviously suffered from inferiority complex based on upper mentioned info, he became aggressive, nervous, and decided that his personal rights are somehow violated. He couldn't resist quarreling with the 4-year old daughter who needed attention while he wanted to kill some monsters or wreck some ships inside the computer screen. Well this all ended unexpectedly: my cousin gently kicked his ass out and found a lesbian woman for herself, who is more pleasant to communicate and likes to stay with the baby, while having good job, too. I heard rumours that the process of kicking his ass out was not so easy as i thought - he tried to fight with the lesbian woman who was about to replace him, and actually kicked her ass with his right foot one or more times.
I think that all that happened between them is good for him, cause he is more-less independent now, works somewhere instead of stomping his head against teh wall in bursts of inferiority complex.

The only reason I'd want a career instead of staying at home is to have a break O_o
Kids are sooooooo much hard work.
It does seem quite hard to go back to work though. Lots of people I know who've had kids have said that during the maternity leave (and due to instinct of course) your maternal bond with the baby is so strong you feel horrible when you're away from it

well, even if money wasn't an issue, i still think most women would prefer a career over housekeeping...at least overhere, but we're little behind i guess.

i'd stay at home and watch over the kids if needed... indeed.
I mean, you can't say that one job is appointed to a parent.
if one has a job, the other takes care of the kids. Sounds pretty logic to me

I also know quite a few mums who took a career change into child minding so that they could earn and look after the kids at the same time

well... in that case, you do it part-time. Whenever one of the two has free-time, he/she takes care of the kids. And while you both work at the same time... You get a nanny, or grand-ma to look after them.

The only problem with child care is the cost. You end up spending most of what you earn on child care alone

It depends on how you handle the situation. you get trusted friends or familly to look after 'em if needed.
Or like my mum did with me, you put your kid in a kinder garden.
I dunno dude. There is always an answer to a situation.

I think I would be cool with staying at home with kids, I'm not very ambitious workwise at all, I pretty much find a job I'm comfortable with and mould myself to it (I've been in my current job for like three years nearly four) because I dig comfort zones lol
I get along fairly well with kids....
The only problem is you'd get a fucking hard time from yr mates... y'know? Fuck that lol

How many kids are we talking about here?
If i had a job i liked then no.
I almost want to say yes but then again kids can really run you down. I've taken care of kids in my time. Sometimes its not that bad, other times i smoke cigs constantly for being stressed.
I depends on the kids in question, i guess.

Maybe in 10 or 15 years time, if i've completely revised my stance on having kids, theoretically i wouldn't mind staying home to look after them. It's a big fucking maybe though.
Other than that, i don't think i could. I like earning my own money, it makes me feel quite bad even having to borrow cash, never mind live off somebody else's hard graft.
