I'm waiting for the day that men have the equal opportunity to marry up and be stay at home dads

In 5 years both those kids will be in school for 6-8 hours a day. The woman has it made. She will have an easy 4-6 hours a day to her self to do whatever it she wants. Unlike the 1950s we have much more efficient washing machines , vacuums that clean their selfs and so on and so forth.

So yea of course she is happy. She will be retired in her late 30s and literally just have to spend 30 minutes a day or so cooking for her kids.

1950’s? My wife has been a stay at home wife and mother since 1993. Guess we didn’t post enough on social media about it to become famous. We have two great and successful kids, and her being home had a lot to do with that.

Most families can’t afford that anymore

xxyyzz987 · 2023-01-19T07:50:40+00:00

Here, this is the road to hell. In a homemaker's marriage, the wife acquires lifetime alimony rights if she does not work. The husband's income is considered the joint income, beyond the marriage. The circumstances in the marriage are considered to shape the alimony rights. Even homemaker marriages get divorced and the husband is because idiot who pays alimony forever. It is well advised to marry only women who earn as much as he does.
What does the housewife actually do at 50? The children are gone, her professional training has become worthless after a 20-year break? Make coffee, wash and wait until the husband comes home?

There's a fair amount of research that indicates having one stay-at-home parent is really healthy for families regardless as to which parent it is. Unfortunately, a stigma often exists against doing so, especially for stay at home dads. Hopefully the stigma (for both genders) will diminish but for many families that will require their country to have a stronger/larger middle class so that they can afford to live that lifestyle.

That's my dream right there. I want a stay-at-home wife.

Head-Medium-3007 · 2023-01-19T02:58:59+00:00

Tradcon rhetoric is misandrist the man is still expected to be the provider and to sacrifice himself this is sickening

NameIs-Already-Taken · 2023-01-19T14:01:04+00:00

No no... it's much better to work a job you hate so you can pay other people to raise your children... /s

Dasherlink · 2023-01-19T13:10:24+00:00

I don't understand why this was spotted in mensrights. No I really don't, can someone please explain? 😕

hendrixski · 2023-01-19T12:08:18+00:00

Screw feminists and all but THESE people are an even more diabolical enemy of men's rights.

Final_Philosopher663 · 2023-01-19T11:33:14+00:00

You cannot go back into the future.

EvidencePlz · 2023-01-19T09:58:08+00:00

Yep. This whole thing is highly likely a big trap.

denisc9918 · 2023-01-19T04:13:44+00:00

So unicorns do exist!!

And there's more..... "part of a growing movement".

Some hope for the future then.

When women were happier raising their brood. Women are NOT happy today with 50% divorce and filing way more often than men

NameIs-Already-Taken · 2023-01-19T14:21:24+00:00

She's happy. He's happy. I guess the feminists were ignored and are really upset with her.

djc_tech · 2023-01-19T11:40:49+00:00

I’d love something like this. That doesn’t mean as a dad at work you don’t do stuff at home too though. You still help with things and be involved but all the planning and stuff is handled by her and you work to get those things done. She handles the house and you handle the outside/job and car stuff. That’s the way my parents did it and they’re still married and have been since the early 80s. Nothing wrong with that and I’m glad she found her happiness.

As some of noted, women now want traditional men but don’t act like traditional women, they act like men. They’re confrontational, rude, cause fights and scenes, act like guys and even worse to each other than they are to men. This woman from the article is someone that is a traditional woman. Nothing wrong with either choice if that’s how you want to live; all I’m saying is women complaining they can’t find “a good man” but act like a guy themselves won’t get a man willing to be a traditional guy for her

melly651 · 2023-01-19T19:07:02+00:00

You guys here at "men's rights sub" must be salivating at the prospect of having a "traditional" wife who stays at home and depends on you financially, so that you can control her completely. 🙄

kittenegg25 · 2023-01-19T19:42:25+00:00

The issue with 1950s wives (and likely why they ended up on horrible over-prescribed medications) is that they did not have enough to do at home and were honestly not very productive (in most regions). Now it would be an even lesser load with advancements in technology making it easier to cook and clean.

What we should go for is a Mom who stays home, rears the children, homeschools the children, and contribute to the homestead.

igloohavoc · 2023-01-19T20:01:19+00:00

Isn’t this just Stay At Home Mom (SAHM)?

Why are they rebranding as “Tradwife”.

ChromeWeasel · 2023-01-19T20:17:38+00:00

Sounds like a great situation. Kids get someone home full time. As long as couple stays happy together it's total win win.

TheLadyLawyer · 2023-01-23T21:14:52+00:00

I want to know what her husband does for a living and what his salary range is that they can afford this, happily. But more importantly, where did she find him?

Most men I am dating now insist we split the bill or take turns paying. I can’t imagine any of them being open to this. Some outright have told me that two incomes is a non-negotiable requirement.

Where can I find him?
