Are Older Husbands the New Housewives? One Female CEO Thinks So

Congrats if it works for them, but I can't imagine very many men being okay with spending their retirement years raising children effectively as a single dad. Not to mention older parents aren't ideal for genetic and energy level reasons... Even if he retired early, the vast majority of ~50 year olds couldn't keep up with a toddler.

Just because she's a special snowflake who managed to do it doesn't mean it's possible or even desirable for most people. I'm sick of celebrities and other rich people popping out babies at older ages and then proclaiming how easy it is to achieve a work/life balance. As much as I hate the phrase, this lady and the rest of them need to check their privilege. Seriously.

I'd love to know what you ladies think!

Just read this real fast! I think if you both know what you want and it's agreed upon, it can work for certain people. I wonder if attraction is not part of the equation. Seems like a RP strategy in regards to the money.

I don't think RPW would like it.....but the men are probably ok with it at this point bc they are 70ish! It's an interesting strategy concerning kids too, good way to avoid daycare. :)

Role reversal!

A variant of this approach is what we do, less the drastic age gap. Cannot speak from a woman's perspective, but I'm happy. It does take a man who has already experienced a full life, career, inner growth, and has his personality calibrated enough through experience to have overcome both success and failure. Neither of us would ever describe me as any kind of wife or house-anything.

I got a friend whose a house husband, with two kids. He seems pretty happy.
