    Been there, done that, it sucked.

    It was great at first! But after 6-months I was depressed. Guess I’m the sort that requires the structure a regular job provides. Kinda been the same for WFH. :(

      I like WFH but I hated being a house-husband. WFH gives me something to do more than cleaning and cooking and childcare.

        Play some games, contribute to opensource, read academic papers. There are a lot of work to do even if you are not employed.

  It shows how stupid and against your own best interests this kind of thinking can be.

  I am the full time worker in my family, and happy to be the provider for them. However, I would be a stay at home dad / house-husband so damn fast if my wife got some random job mom making a lot more than me. I do have my priorities in order, after all.

  I'd do housework and care for the kids in a heartbeat if my wife made enough.

  My genuine theory is that many (if not most) people are emotionally stunted or emotionally immature. You don’t get this kind of mentality from someone who is balanced.

  Now expand that to every facet of life and you get the world we live in.

  Maybe because it is not in realm of possible instead of something they don’t want?

    There are wealthy women out there, so it is entirely in the range of possibility. My mom’s first husband left her when she started making more money as a lawyer than him. It’s an ego thing.

  I'd love to be a kept man. I'd wear skimpy outfits and work out every day and have all the chores done and a hot meal on the table when she gets home every day.
