Or at least here; women took care of the cattle, garden and house, men worked on the fields when it was summer and in the woods when it was winter. <br /><br />And if man stays home, they usually tend to kind of ignore all the domestic tasks and just wait the Working Woman to come home and do them. Now I assume men would eventually do the dishes or laundry, but it seems to me that many men do not realize that things like that need to be done daily. At least that is my husband's way: he lets things pile and then he has a huge "crazy cleaning day". It makes me very nervous, so it is so much better that I stay at home and do the housework and he is exempt from it.

A homemaker's role is very important, but it generally is a dependent role, that's why feminists and egalitarians hate it so much. When an able-bodied man becomes dependent on his woman for survival, it emasculates him. Few women find such men attractive as women are driven to admire power, status and dominance. The worst thing is that so many suffer from cognitive dissonance, they state that they want sensitive, caring men yet the moment their men show any weakness or take a nurturing role upon themselves, as the husband in question, they start to despise them.

First, working from home is still a different job from real homemaking and second, as a husband and father, I'd try to keep working outside the home as a main job. Male homemakers aren't occupying a God given role in my opinion. Generally speaking. Experience has proven that men are not appreciated for their domestic chores if they fail as breadwinners while business women are not so appreciated for their struggle at office if they neglect the home. Women have a heart for homemaking and men have power and capacity for ruling, managing and protecting women and children. This is how I see life too. This perspective makes me happy.

No dishes done, no nothing... I hate it when people loose all discipline when they are at home and do not a) get up at reasonable time and b) GET DRESSED.

I was working. It is a divine miracle that we are still together. I hated it so much, even though I was still some sort of a feminist back then. Thank God he found a new job pretty soon. <br /><br />What surprises me in that DM story is, that the woman seemed to have found so easily a job that pays well enough to keep husband home. Here in Finland if one has been at home for couple of years, finding a job is next to impossible, if you do not re-educate yourself or something. <br /><br />Housewife from Finlandnoreply@blogger.com
