It is known that some men prefer housewives who are always at home.


Now let's look at it from a different angle. What about househusbands? How does it feel like to be one.


By househusbands, I don't mean a man who sits at home washing the dishes, cooking, and doing the laundry while the wife is out there doing one business or the other to bring food to the table.



By househusband, I mean a man who makes his money passively and doesn't need to go out everyday to bring food to the table. He probably has a business that fetches him money, maybe he is into real estate, works online as a freelancer, has many shops with boys, or any other source that gives him ample time to stay at home.


such men prefer staying at home than hanging out all day.

So, how does it feel like to be a househusband?

Your input is highly appreciated

@bold:

That is the corresponding definition of a househusband.

What you are describing is a work from home husband.

If you are sure that your 'passive' income is enough to be financially responsible to your family, why not?

it's alright.

don't you think it could lead to some minor issues especially if the wife stays home too?


For instance, this lockdown turned some lovers into haters

In a healthy marriage, why should a couple staying together all day lead to minor issues?

If they are afraid to stay together all day, then they should work on their marriage.

If my job brings in more money, this solution would be highly welcomed.

I am suspicious of this solution and I don't want a man who hangs out all day even if he can afford to.

No hardworking man would like to be a househusband, even if he earns a lot working from home.
Even the word Househusband is unattractive. A total turnoff.
One would easily get bored of such men even as a housewife.

There's something very attractive about men who go out to work and come home later in the day.
For such men, you'd do anything to please.
To me, a handsome man is a hardworking man, not a fine boy.

This is the definition of a househusband, and if feminism and gender equality should ever be taken seriously, then there's nothing wrong with a househusband going by the above definition.

It's a brave new world and I recommend that all feminists (in staying true to their belief) ought not to have any issues with househusbands, they may also ensure they are married to such.
I love women who can walk their talk.

mariahAngel:


Who wants a househusband?

Me! I hate chores and I don't enjoy playing with children all day long so I'd rather work than change diapers. So unless it doesn't make sense financially for him to stay at home because he makes more money than I do, I don't see why turning traditional roles upside down should be a problem.

It would be for a limited period of time anyway because I don't see why anyone would want to sit at home when the kids are old enough to be at nursery. Most mothers I know have resumed work, even if only part-time, once the kids were old enough to visit nursery.

Though I enjoy cooking, I imagine the husband to be waiting for me at home with the kind of meals the gentlemen from the food section prepare.

Isn't feminism about the freedom of choice?

Well, for me, I'm very traditional.
I do not fancy a man being a househusband at all.

Hathor5:


Isn't feminism about the freedom of choice?

I wouldn't know. Is it?

What I do know however, is that feminists are never happy with women who chose to be completely submissive, to worship, and to grovel at the feet of their husbands.

It's possible that this freedom of choice in feminism is strictly limited to only those choices already deemed appropriate in the feminist handbook.

And this is what ALL housewives do? All Nigerian housewives are completely submissive to worship and grovel at their husbands feet.

I will quote this for reference.

Take a chill pill and stick to the topic.

You seem to know many feminists and how they always or never feel so you should also know that feminists can choose whichever roles they deem fit in their families.

House husband.. very strange... We have not finish with housewife, and the challenges, ma ya fo kwa nke husband....

A man who wakes up, get dressed and leave for either work place or business venture has huge respect from the wife, than the one that sits at home, watching zee world, and always on laptop doing whatever... Even if you are earning from home, just go out, and come in... .

It's better when your wife opens the gate to welcome u, than the other way.

Ihe m wu, wu smart working Odogwu...

Just read OP's explanation... It's totally different from what we see in housewife.. A man in op's narrative is comfortably rich na... Even at that, I will still drive to biz office, interact with workers, learn one or two and return home... I am not even too extroverted nor introverted sef... just in middle as an Aquarius.

Unnecessary thread..

True.


But some of these couples were living a fairly happy life before the lockdown.


Don't you think such level of closeness may lead to 'see finish' ?

so you would prefer a househusband who does more chores at home, provided you earn more.



Would the table turn around if he begins earning more

True.



That respect will begin to dwindle with time.


And respect is very important in marriage

Casemiro:

That's the point.
Feminism/gender equality is anti-traditional, much more modern and very progressive. Something we should all aspire to.

That aside, the concept/definition of a househusband is the direct equivalent of a housewife.
Working from home is an entirely different thing and does not make a man a househusband.

It's important that you get the definitions right, so the topic can be centered around what you really want to talk about, which I believe, are husbands who work from home.

What's your definition of hardworking man?


And why do you feel you would get bored living with a man that works from home?


Have you ever met, dated, or married to a man that works from home?

Casemiro:



it's alright.

don't you think it could lead to some minor issues especially if the wife stays home too?

If lockdown turned lovers into haters, then the lovers are f00lish and shouldn't be together in the first place.

Casemiro:

Him earning more would not make me enjoy sitting at home all day long more but it would be better for our finances for him to be working.

Casemiro:



True.


But some of these couples were living a fairly happy life before the lockdown.


Don't you think such level of closeness may lead to 'see finish' ?


.

If your marriage hasn't gotten to the see finish level, then it is not a marriage but a WAR.

Couples are meant to see finish. And BTW, respect has nothing to do with going out of your house and coming back at night everyday. I've been working from home since 2014 and will continue to do so. Yet, respect has never been an issue to talk about in my years of dating and even now that I'm married.

Unless one lives in a slum or hell, leaving your home daily shouldn't be something you enjoy more than staying at home
with your family even if your job demands you travel 24/7.

Should one go out? Of course, that's why we have legs for mobility.

What's your definition of hardworking man?

A man who makes the most of his 24hrs

And why do you feel you would get bored living with a man that works from home?

What is there to look forward to in a man who stays home all day?
What is there to miss about him?

Have you ever met, dated, or married to a man that works from home?

Yes, I have.
