Male Homemaker

I would play with a ball-and-cup all day Seriously though, what do you think? What are common conceptions in your culture? What does it take to be an ideal homemaker?

I think both male and female should be equal on home making. Both genders were taught the same responsibility and chores from our parents and other loved ones. So, take the consideration for what you have learned in your past and work together with your partner as equals. ^w^

"It's a woman's job." I'd like to know where that law is written. There's no issue with a man who is the homemaker. It doesn't make him weaker or any less. I understand "traditional roles", but then again, women weren't expected to work, vote, drive or do anything that would give them a sense of true equality at one time too. My point is, staying at home can be done by either if they choose to do as such. I don't think this takes away from family or values, the only thing that needs to be a constant is equal parenting and this in no way shape or form takes away from that.

I don't have a problem with the idea of a male homemaker. It's how my family is. I don't think I had any kind of negative effects from it. My mother makes the most money (pharmacy pays well) and as such my father who was self employed had the most flexible schedule. Do we think less of him because he was the one who braided my hair before school and cooked dinner each night? No. My dad is still very much the patriarch. I know that I would actually absolutely hate to be a homemaker so it might actually be more ideal if my significant other was a homemaker or at least willing to pick up some of those tasks. But like a team who works together to get things done, not like having a dependent, if that makes sense

I would love a male homemaker! Hell yeah! I work a lot! Like A LOT! and having someone do the part of homemaker would be great. It doesn't mean giving up his masculinity, it just means he is taking care of business at home, and hell, maybe not even make the guy the sole homemaker and rather share tasks or take turns. It's not a one-way street. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/dc/73/08/dc73085d952b8a2d2d93d6813ab6d693.jpg

Rag, you and the women you grace are in for one hell of a rude awakening... Tell me, what makes women less, weaker or incapable of providing? Do you actually think this would have a true barring on family morales? I'm all for either way(In a sense,but with balance.) but your way seems to be to make women not even on par with men. Yes, both men and women have strengths and weaknesses, but raising a child whether strictly from home or being just a provider never works, one will always lose when they work apart. There's a balance that both parents must strive for and that's what I believe in. Whether or not a woman works or stays home all the time, should not be what makes or breaks a child. I'd rather my children know that they are more than capable of great things, regardless of gender. You can keep your archaic ways.
