How Do You Feel About Stay At Home Dads?
I was just over a friend’s house the other day and noticed this really cute Circus Entertainment Center at the kids’ room. I complimented on how lovely it made the room. It looks very homey and seemed like a really fun place to be. She told me that they actually got the entertainment center for her husband, who spends a lot of time in the kids room everyday.
Theirs is a different set up. While my friend keeps a demanding and important office job, it’s her husband who is unconventionally the stay-at-home dad. She told me that their extended families are not so thrilled with the idea and have become rather judgmental about it.
I assured her though that she shouldn’t mind all these comments from other people. I personally didn’t think the set up was weird, as I believe families have to make adjustments and do what’s best for them, even if it means a role reversal. If there was a chance for their family to have someone earn well for all of them, whether that’s the wife or the husband, I think it would be a mistake to pass on it. Besides, it isn’t like the husband isn’t actually contributing to the family income, he also keeps a consulting job and is a lot less demanding.
What about you, how do you feel about stay-at-home dads?
