And most of us have men willing to pay the bills because we take very good care of them. As to why that is any of your business, I am not sure. But, I can assure you , my husband doesnt want me to get a job. He would prefer to take care of me. In all ways. Too bad for you that you have such an ignorant attitude.

It depends on the relationship and the amount/age of kids involved. At this point with my SD being almost 17 there's absolutely no reason why my wife shouldn't be working FT, nor I (barring unforseen layoffs). At this point there's no way I'd be willing to be the sole wage earner. Even when I left my old career and worked from home for 3 years, I did all the housework plus earned a living that brought in @ 80% of what my prior job had done and still covered my share of the bills coming into the household. I would expect that my wife would view things the same..that at this point in our lives each of us has an equal responsibility to earn to the best of our abilities and not place undue pressure on the other to disproportionately support the household. I've never seen it as my duty to be the breadwinner, I've seen it that we both need to support the household, financially and doing the work related to the house and raising of SD.
