The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Househusbands

From experience I say:

a.) A real man does what it takes to take care of his family--even if it involves lots of diapers, learning to cook--[sarcasm]you know, wimmin's work.[/sarcasm]

b.) If said man isn't interested in the possibility and he's not a doctor or a lawyer or something like that he shouldn't marry one.

That said some men just end up that way. See (a). For me it was part of the package. See (b). I knew it was a possibility and married her anyway. Personally I have been blessed beyond measure by being with my three going on four kids all day (and night!) and seeing the things that in a normal arrangement the housewife would go through. You just think you've got a tough job until you walk into the kids room after naptime and a toddler hands you a now empty diaper that was full of you know what. *shudder

Wouldn't trade it and I'm going on four years now.
