Who cares, that sounds awesome.

If one parent is gonna stay home w the kids, it should be the person with less income--man or woman. And if you'd have an issue staying home while your wife works, its because you're insecure in your masculinity

Man, nobody likes staying at home. Especially with young kids...
And the less income deal...it can used as leverage...that you are not pulling your weight, especially as a man.

I find it funny you say that...when people have criticized black men for being lazy and staying at home with their mommas and not working. And then when they get girlfriends, she works and dude stays at home...

The American male is having the wool pulled over his eyes. And many don't care...

Sign me up. I would much rather get up early, make the kids lunches, take them to school, take care of household, pets and grocery shopping. Definitely not an easy job, but no answering to "the man" and stresses of going to work and dealing with that BS.

I don't see it as immasculating, due to the simple fact that you are doing your part for the family. That isn't always defined as "breadwinner"

It's the feminization of man continuing on...

The problem is, it's about having IT ALL...no one has "IT ALL"...
In fact, that's a notion I believe that is borne from greed. To have all of something is to be greedy, gluttonous.
This notion that to have it all meaning one party must suffer or deny themselves so that the other can indulge their egos is something that I believe is part of the decline of America.

I wouldn't mind being a stay at home husband/dad. Working sucks.

Parker, worry about yourself, instead of how others lead theirs.

Only two things I really enjoy and that is cooking and doing laundry. Everything else I do only because I have to. Dishes are the worst. My dishwasher died a while back and life has never been the same since.

I am always the dishwasher in the house. I need to save up and get a machine one but i want to travel again so guess I am using my hands instead.

I'd have no problems staying at home. As long as I don't have a wife and kids.

I think if the man stays at home, he should give foot rubs to the wife.

Seriously I went to a pool once met this girl she invited me over to her place had a little wine, then she said you have nice feet can I suck your toes I said ok, it freaked me out so I left after that. I had heard of foot fetishes but never experienced that.

Foot rubs is not about merit. It's about the foot.
