<p>lol all the female CCers quoted the same guy I quoted ^.^</p>
<p>But really, more guys should answer this, assuming that your wife wouldn’t care one way or the other. I’ve always feared that men might not like stay-at-home wives because they aren’t contributing any income to the family.</p>
<p>In all seriousness, my wife could do what she wanted. I mean, my hope would be that she goes to work, since I’m considering being a teacher and the starting salary isn’t all that great. It’d be nice to get settled as soon as possible, and I’d like to raise a family one day. In that case, having two incomes can’t hurt.</p>
<p>Presuming that I somehow get sucked into marriage, I think I would prefer my wife to work, especially since I don’t think I want kids.</p>
<p>my wife should use her judgment and mind to determine what is best for her, and her family. Herself being first, obviously.</p>
<p>Unless her dream was to be a stay-at-home mom, I would be concerned about her.</p>
<p>^i know a girl who wants to be a rich stay at home mom</p>
<p>i dont care really, but i would prefer a wife that works less than me. 3 kids at most, the only reason i would have more is if i had 3 girls at first</p>
<p>Well if she really thought about it (what she wanted to do), I wouldn’t mind I suppose.</p>
<p>Of course, it’s not fair just to ask the guys what they’d want their wives to do.</p>
<p>Ladies on here, what would you want your husband to do? Work? Stay at home? Part-time?</p>
<p>My fianc</p>
<p>^Your sentence structure is disastrous.</p>
<p>“we decided that she wants”</p>
<p>“her desire to be a teacher ane me to be involved in politics.”</p>
<p>“It is her choice and have always told her that”</p>
<p>“that, and we”</p>
<p>haha, i know, and the funny thing is you are criticizing my grammar and i dont care. the only person allowed to be a grammar nazi is my fianc</p>
<p>I want my husband and I to both work.
It may change if I have kids (3 max), because I want to raise them myself…
I want him to be a musician/actor/artist/dancer/etc. :)</p>
<p>From the gal’s point of view (if this is applicable…it’s a tangential thought), I’d prefer my * husband * stay home.
I remember my ex-boyfriend saying, “Well, it’s between career and family…” and I told him that I picked career, hands down. Will most likely not be having children til later life (early to late 30s), though things do change.</p>
<p>I’d like to pay someone to clean my house. I might stay home for a bit to raise the kids, maybe like two years (I only want to give birth to one child, otherwise adopt and and I don’t plan to adopt babies but probably a kid already talking and walking). Otherwise get them in a day care and then they’ll be in school and if I have a job and so does my guy then we shouldn’t have to work long hours.</p>
<p>If my wife pulls an Elin Nordegren even though I won’t cheat, I will be ****ed.</p>
<p>^ With the pool boy</p>
<p>LMAO. In the event that I ever get a divorce and my wife decides to want a settlement of 3/4 of my earnings, I will be a broken man.</p>
<p>This would depend entirely on how many kids we have, and what my income is. If I make 2 Million/year and we have 8 kids, she can do more good for the family by staying at home and taking care of the kids than by working. </p>
<p>Personally, if possible I’d like to home school my kids, and would like to have a few kids (or more, depending on how many I can support), so if one of us could stay home and do that, it would be beneficial. Again though, if we’re each only making 80K/year, and we have 4 kids, we each probably need to work.</p>
<p>House arrest will be in the prenup.</p>
