As long as you both contribute to your marriage and take care of each other emotionally,physically,spirituality, and financially it’s really nobody’s business except between the two of you…every marriage is different and so is every situation so I completely disagree with this statement

Yeah, right! Nice one…that’s what the evil & maniac friend are doing to my partner for 11mos. now. The evil & maniac friend is using my partner for free sex, rent for the house, etc. for 11mos. now. The evil & maniac friend is not doing anything there but to use my partner for 11mos. now for all of those. So, they better stop what they’re both doing to me now for 11mos. Otherwise, their sex video will come out now & the evil & maniac friend will die now soon as well. They’re really evil you know, too bad.

This is stupid. I stay home and take care of our family and he works to take care of our family. He’s my supporter as I am his. Shit like this is so stupid and disrespectful. Plus who gives a shit who’s doing what in their relationship.

Honestly it just depends on the situation. If there’s children involved and it’s gonna cost more money to put them in daycare and both parents work than it would for one parent to just stay at home and take care of them, then it would make more sense to not put them in daycare right?

This picture quote is very circumstantial. If a person is with someone because of how much money they make, then they are who the quote is for. Everyone talking about stay-at-home mom’s either need to be comfortable with their particular life situation, or make some changes. If you are offended by a quote online as though it is directed toward you, and especially if it’s not, there is some truth behind what is said. Might be time for some personal introspection.

Depends on the couple. My husband and I mutually decided that I would be a SAHM when we had kids. As well as both of us agreeing that we wanted a large family. So yeah, I do depend on him financially. But he doesn’t see me as a money leeching burden.

Riiight. I prefer to raise my own children at home since I’m able to while my husband works. I like how it’s become so ok to bash women who stay at home to take care of the house and children now when I can make whatever choices I want for my family. I was raised that men work and women take care of the family so ✌?

My husband works, and I take care of our kids. I can’t afford to pay day care. I do babysit every other week which does help… But in a few years when my almost 3 year old starts school I will be getting a day job.

I have to chuckle when reading this. When I had my son I was fired from my job two months before I delivered my son. My ex has always made comments to me similar to this statement. However the three almost four years prior to having my son he basically used me to support his son from another relationship. I was to blind to see that at the time. So it’s funny how when the tables were turned it was ok to let me pay for almost everything and not even feel bad. But when I got fired because I… Read more »

Why is anyone defending themselves on here? If you have a good reason for being a stay at home than you should not need to defend yourself. I agree with this post because I live near an air base and see the people moving in and out of the surrounding housing everyday. There are a lot of mainly Bimbo’s and their airman. The bimbo’s marry the guy thinking this will be fun until they figure out he will be gone a lot and he will want to spend some of his money too. Then there are the ones that like… Read more »

Sooo us stay-at-home moms are lazy good for nothings or what? This statement is far too generalized. Sometimes, the man provides outside the home while the woman takes care of business AT home. We are not any less women because we don’t have jobs. We cater to our husbands and children and our home, which is just as important.

This is the dumbest quote I’ve ever read. I’ve stayed home w/ our 4 sometimes 6 children (2 stepdaughters) for almost 16 years while my husband travelled for work. Both of us work hard for our family. We share the income because I do not get paid for my end. This makes no sense?

Good grief! I am a homemaker….My husband and I are partners. As I depend on him to work outside the home, he depends on me to work inside the home. That way everything runs smoothly. More importantly we respect each other.

Idk if I agree with this or at least when it comes to having children, if you have children and one parent stays at home how is this a job opportunity you’re doing what’s best for your kids and family. I stay home with my kids bc we don’t want to put them on daycare where horrible things can happen to them.

I think SAHMs and SAHDs are excluded from this statement. Its my opinion this is more directed towards those in a relationship who don’t work, who are more than capable, have no excuse, but choose not to and sit around practically doing nothing all day.

For me, this is true. I have been the sole provider of my kids for 12 years and it was by necessity. I take pride in my accomplishments. I can manage on my own and I wouldn’t expect anyone to support me financially

There are few exceptions to this, but it’s a fine line. What I get tired of is: he says I can stay home! Just because he says it doesn’t mean he wants you to forever. It will eventually wear on him whether he speaks about it or not. He will be stressed & partially resentful leaving you wondering why he’s such an ass all the time.

Things like this really bother me. Just because you choose to be a housewife or a stay at home mom doesn’t make you a bad person. Some don’t agree with going to work and not raising your own children. Would you like them to complain about your lifestyle as well? Some people just prefer to stay home with their children so that they don’t have to have their kids at daycare or around other sick children all day. I know some can’t afford to do that but others have to make it work for their children’s safety if they have… Read more »

So this dude I’m with right… I knew he made money but not THAT much. I was just to awed & head over heels of how sweet & kind he was. He was also funny to & we have great conversations. I ADORE HIM. When we met up for our date, I’m not sure what happened because he liked me a lot… Maybe he got shy & wanted to cover it up. To this day I’m not sure what is was, he won’t tell me, but he got very arrogant. He makes a LOT of money. I was turned off… Read more »

I worked with my husband for a year and a half after we married. Before that, we lived together and split the bills.
I became pregnant and became a stay at home, but we agreed on the situation.
People always state I’m mooching off my husband but they don’t know the back story or the situation.

I’m ok with your partner being your only source of income….. that’s between the two of you. What I’m NOT OK with is the TAXPAYERS being your only source of income!……

I’m a SAHM and my husband IS the only source of income. I work a very part time job just to pass the time the kids are in school but I don’t make much and cannot help pay bills. I save us the money for an after school program or daycare. So I disagree. I’m not proSAHM OR proworking mom, but I wanted to raise my kids and not have some stramger get to know my kids better than I do. I understand some moms aren’t like me. And that is OK.

While some stay home for various reasons, some do take advantage of favorable situations.

Well my wife don’t work. I don’t think that a woman should have to work. No I’m not saying that I told her she had to stay home. No I didn’t tell her she couldn’t work. But we don’t want our children to be raised by daycare. So we decided that as the man of the house I would support the finances and she would support the home life. I help her when I get home and on days off. But in my eyes. If a couple has children then it should be the woman’s decision if her husband makes… Read more »

Well I’m his source of cooked meals and laundry, and my uterus is his source for children, so yea.?
