House Husband or working Dad

A question about : House Husband or working Dad

Im a so called House Husband,

how about everyone else....

Best answers:

• I'd say I'd love to be.... but I would hate it and so I'm not a house husband but the bread winner and the wifes a student
• Working Dad, wouldn't have it any other way!
• I want me a house husband!! I'm working on earning enough for MrD to jack in his job.
• Love being a 'HOUSE husband ...PART TIME....
  Don't think I could cope with the kids full time.........leave her indoors to deal with the school runs/parents evening/plays.....etc.....on the whole.....
  Make the occasional guest appearance for the above....to let the kids and wife know I'm still alive.....)
  I'm defiantly a WORK Husband....and love it...
• Not sure new Dads these days can get away with just being a 'work Dad' anymore. My Mrs chucked me in at the deep end straight away and wouldn't let me take a back seat! I have done the lot raising my wee boy where our Dads when I speak to them barley did anything back in the day - to be honest I wouldn't have it any other way! Or now I think about maybe I should have read the small print first........
• They are both the same in my book - otherwise known as a 'family man', because they do what is best for their family.
  My (currently working) OH is about to become a stay at home dad. Why? Because we have three little ones and I earn twice as much as he does. A real man does what is best for his family.
• I did the house husband thing for 6 months. Never again its far easier working

• Look after the kids at the weekend and a couple of days during the week.If my wife had a really gd job i wouldnt mind being a house husband but we both have to work.The only gd thing about it is the money we save from having to pay someone to look after the kids cos wifes work caters around my 12hr shifts at work so im able to look after the children whist shes at work and she does the same when im working.
• My two youngest children live with me since leaving their mum just over a year ago.
  They are 12 now (twins) and I'm self-employed working from home as a writer/media administrator for a football club. Pack the boys off to school at 8.45am, straight to the gym for an hour, back for coffee then work till 3pm when I collect them from school.
  Run an under-12s football team as well and I'm writing my first book this year as well. Life is busy but rather that than the alternative.
• Working dad, i would be perfectly happy at home with the kids though, its just i have a profession and am able to provide a lot more than my wife, i do enjoy my job also
  Something that i find a bit offputting is when colleagues/friends make a point of looking after their own children, referring to it as 'babysitting' or 'daddy day care' like its some sort of out of ordinary request of them
  Looking after your own kids is babysitting? I find it so odd
• Working DAD....most definatly....
  Don't have the skills or patience J to be a House Husband full time.
  Don't get me wrong…I don't mind doing my bit on Saturday's and the odd Monday during school holidays when she is at work…..but that's all I can manage…..
  I also make 'Guest' appearances on school runs now and again …………to tick the box.
  Full time 'House Husband'…..Not on your nelly…..
  I love my job and wouldn't change that for the world…..and it pays well too, more then she would ever make (She just likes to spend it... )….. which is an added benefit.
  Leave her to deal with the little monsters….errrr….i mean darlings….. J
• My husband is the Stay At Home Parent & I'm utterly thankful. He's much better at it than I was, the lads have loads more fun & I bring in a wage & the occasional takeaway.
  People keep telling me I have beautifully behaved children - because my husband has done all the hard work of bringing them up properly.
  Don't let *anyone* tout the stay at home role as easy - it devalues all parents.
