hey konitz part 2..

2) When I was home on maternity leave, there is VERY little satisfaction in staying home. One day just disappears into the next, and there definitely is no mental stimulation. So, there is your WORTH. When you are recognized at work for doing a good job, that gives you WORTH. Who does that for people who stay home? They are 110% the most underappreciated workers, and unpaid. You foster a lot of resentment for the one who actually gets to go and talk about grown up things instead of dealing with Cheerios and diapers all day. True, you are raising a child, but definitely didn't feel like I was contributing to anything else like I do at work. My mom stayed home with both my sister & I, and I don't know how she did it. I would have gone nuts.

This was the most ass backwards thread I have seen in awhile. I can't believe some people (men) still think this way- go beat on your chest some more & see who comes running...

:agreed::agreed::agreed:

Even my mom who stayed home with us said the perfect mix between home & work is to work 3 days a week outside the home because the person who stays home needs some other form of stimulation & gratification.

What if both people worked part-time jobs then?

[Konitz]

I stated the person that stayed at home could have a part-time job but have it be one that is extremely flexible.

:whistle

Oh, I read it-

REGARDLESS of who stays home, man or woman- Why is it one or the other and not BOTH?? Marriage is about compromise & sacrifice, so I'm still waiting for an intelligent response to my first post.

Is the only rebuttal you have that I didn't read the indication that it didn't matter who stayed home, as long as someone did?

My comments apply to BOTH sexes. In fact, up until about 2 years ago, I DID make more than my husband, and said he wanted to stay home

Even my mom who stayed home with us said the perfect mix between home & work is to work 3 days a week outside the home because the person who stays home needs some other form of stimulation & gratification.

Cleaning, cooking & changing dirty diapers every day just doesn't cut it. :wack:

Ok, this is all getting pretty ridiculous.

1) Where does it say that a MAN is the provider? If the wife can make as good or better living why can't the man stay home?

I would have gone nuts.

3) I don't know why one person has to have all specific responsibilities?? Just because the wife stays home, that means she has to ALWAYS cook, clean, & do laundry? I DON'T stay home, and I do those things- AND I go to the gym 5 days a week. Sonis cleans the dishes & does all the manly stuff. Oh, and the cleaning- it's called A CLEANING LADY.

Please tell me how two people in a PARTNERSHIP can't make it work? I understand that it's best for the CHILD if one person stays home. But, what if there are no kids??? Then what?

In all actuality, I think your comments about "no stress of a full time job" means no temptation, which can lead to infidelity, which can lead to divorce. Guess what- it's going to happen either way. And, it's much easier for a man or woman who stays home to stray than one who works full time.

This was the most ass backwards thread I have seen in awhile. I can't believe some people (men) still think this way- go beat on your chest some more & see who comes running...

You keep saying the women and I said a spouse, yes in my first thread I said my wife, but if you are including the rest of the world in the topic then I just mean one person works and one person takes care of the house.

:whistle

Very well put :clapback:

Where is there worth in working all day long? atleast staying at home you have the satisfaction of taking care of and working on something that is physically yours.

Because then you both have limited free time see if one persona makes the money and th other takes care of the house you would net yourself both quite a bit of free time.

what area are you from? lol

[Konitz]

what do you mean "takes care of the house" and why can the house not be taken care of if both people work?
