No way. It's not in an average man's Gene to be relegated to waitng on the woman. Personally, I love doing house chores whenever I am less busy. I also enjoy doting on kids. Infact, I am a favourite with kids. But, the ability to be in charge of a greater percentage of my family's finance makes a lot of difference in my family dynamics.

We know that traditionally, women are saddled with the responsibility of running and taking care of the home hence the title home makers while their male counterparts provide what is needed to run the home, hence the title, providers. These roles are taken seriously and failures by either party would be termed as irresponsibility.

But in recent times, we have seen an unprecedented shift and fluidity in these roles and how they are played. Women are now providers and sometimes even breadwinners while men have also been involved in running the home especially with child care. This has generated debates with some still holding on to the traditional role division.

To the reason for this post: most men at least on this platform, complain of women only wanting them because of what they can bring to the table. If the tables are turned, as a man, would you be a househusband while your wife provides?

@bolded
Correction: most of guys kids here and not men. Hope you know different between kids and man?

Meanwhile, back to ur question. You as a woman did u wish to be house wife? Did you know implications to be one?

Any man that can't provide for his family, should willingly submit himself to be house-husband

Anything short of that will lead to trouble marriage
any man that cant provide for his family is not worthy of being a husband. You have to also question a woman willing to marry a man who cant provide.

There’s nothing like househusband. If you’re looking to confuse a man to stay home so you will go out and service other men, Good For You

Questions:
1) Which world did you come from, where bitches are breadwinners?
2) Why would any self-respecting man be interested in being a "househusband", whatever that means?
3) How did this stvpid post make it to the front page?

Ok this is a good one. Depends tho. I like having strong ties with family.
The person that mentored me in animation is a stay at home dad. He does most of his work at home, even has a studio and office at home. He rarely goes out except it's a hangout or family outing thingy. This lifestyle is very okay by me.

As for me, already following that path already, setting up my studio bit by bit at home here. Even now, only proposals, meetings, dates with my girlfriend and once in a while collaborations takes me out. I don't know if my wife would want the stay at home thing and it's fine. I always say its also not compulsory for her to work too. Everything na planning.... As for me, except maybe work demand, I'm cool at home. I don't even like going out.

Wrong,most women will still nag for being the one providing everything even when the husband is a house-husband, we have seen cases of women after providing for some months begin to Insult and do all sort of things to their husband just because they are no the breadwinner of the house.

So how then do you assume anything sort of that will lead to a trouble marriage? The fact is, even if the husband submit himself or not, as long as he is no longer the breadwinner, there will always be trouble.

The real question should be, how many of you Nigerian females are willing to be the providers saddled with househusbands?


Why not start your own thread?

@ topic. I strongly believe men and women are wired differently.... that men are wired to be providers ..... and women wired to be nourishers ... the way it has been traditionally. I cannot see myself as a house husband .... should circumstances change. While she is at work ... no doubt ... I can see myself doing some of the basic housekeeping...... in my mind it will be helping out a little .... then I be gone ... out hustling.... somehow.... but I will not be trying to play her role .... it's not in my DNA.
Re: Men, Would You Consider Being Househusbands? by Mayeldah(m): 4:03pm On Dec 12, 2021
Women are not good providers so that role switch won't work for most Africans

You won't know how wicked a woman is until she is the breadwinner, 99% of them falls into this category

if a man wants peace of mind and a little honour, let him provide for his family

baseless assumptions, this is what this post of yours is all about.

Learn to back whatever you say with concrete fact/proof.

PS: Come to think of it. It'll be nice to just lay back and relax and ask the wife to buy you the latest phone, latest ride, latest clothes and the likes and also, you get to chase the family of the wife away anytime they come knocking. grin

Afterall, the privileges of the housewife should be extended to the house husband, isn't life beautiful. grin

The annoying trend these days is ....... A man is jobless, and the woman takes up the role of providing for the family, but he still expects her to go to work, make the money, and still come home to doing chores and cooking, when the woman complains, you hear shit like, " you don't respect me, because you are making money now".
Shut up... They don't respect you because, your lazy ass is so selfish, and narcissistic. The natural order is for men to be the bread winners, if you can't live up to that, well the Bible says, you are worse than an infidel. If you don't have a job and money as a man, and your wife is providing for the time being, help out with other things, and balance the equation.

When you use words you don't understand - "unprecedented". What is the percentage of these house-husbands compared to provider. Don't use words you cannot defend

I agree, the kids need a kind and thoughtful father, who will protect and assure them, even the woman.

Protection is not by fighting other people, but by being there, is assuring.
