If i were older and married, no. It'd be nice if he did some stuff but yeah, guys i know can't work kitchen stuff or laundry shit. they are dumb, so i would be afraid they would break something
you seem to be contradicting yourself...on the one hand the work in question is sooooo important it must be done just so...on the other hand, if he's willing and good at doing that very important work, he is not worthy of respect in your eyes. that makes absolutely no sense to me.
it's called gender roles and there's a reason for them. Contrary to popular believe it's not something men pulled out of their ass thousands of years ago just to supress women. I would not trust me to balance the check-book or pay the bills on time or maintain a career that would forever pay the mortgage. I wouldn't trust him to do laundry or provide a developmentally appropriate enviorment when we have kids. We're good at different things.
If that's what you want and you find a man who shares the fantasy, then all the power to you. But for me and my partner? No thank you; call me old-fashioned, but the idea of a male "wife" just does nothing for me.
wow...i guess i'm even weirder than i thought i was. i can't believe no women on here ever fantasize about a male 'wife' or househusband or whateveryawantacallit.
i was raised by my mom who works at home running her own business... its really cool and i want to do the same. and especially because she and i are more close than my father and i because he was away so much of my childhood. i would like to have that relationship with my offspring. that they could come home after school and we could hang out for a while... i surely dont ever see myself having a 9-5 desk job, i'm a very family oriented person and a homebody.
I think that would be sweet, I'd love a guy whose just like a Mr. Mom. It would be really nice to see if a guy would switch positions with me. It doesn't have to be everyday but sometimes.
When I was.. eh.. technically married without paper binding, I was kinda the Mr. Mom and the work force... I kept trying to get my wife of the time to get a job so I could revert to have more time to tending the garden and cleaning the house. I hate being out in mainstream public.. eh.. babylon, so I always liked being in the house, or the backyard. Plus, I'm a really good cook.. and the one day a week off I'd get from work(in a restaurant), I'd spend cooking up food in my own kitchen and getting sloshed at it. My friends used to refer me too the male Ms. Kitty from the 70's show... as I'd host tripping parties and would cook for everyone that came and bought my stuff. Was a bad relationship.. mainly left me dealing with two jobs and also my son and wife to take care of, she had gotten so used to me doing everything, that over the years she became a slouch that'd be up all night in front of the tv and sleep during the day... and I had gotten so used to doing everything, that I learned to enjoy it.. And in no way am I metro-sexual in any means.. I'm just a crusty kid that loves house-work... there ain't much cleaning to do under a bridge or in the woods. I hate dealing with legal tender too.. I'm horrible with it. I'll horde all the shiney rocks in the world.. but you try to stick me with a five spot and it'll be gone.
I don't think so. I love being spoiled, taken care of, and the submissive one...One that attracted me to my husband was his leadership qualities, his masculine features and personality (including his manly and country style accent), and his desire to be a man and work, have a family, and take care of em.
If that works for you great. But, some men are good at the laundry and some women can maintain a successful career.
