Poll regarding opinions of stay-at-home parents

[nclib]

This post in the Forum Community inspired my poll:

how would a housewife, or godforbid a stay-at-home dad, answer this question?

For the purposes of this poll, I'm not talking about people who run a business from their home, but rather someone who takes care of the house and the family while their spouse works.

Anyhow, I have no more of an issue with stay-at-home dads than with stay-at-home moms.

My only issue with stay-at-home moms is that the parents could pass along unnecessary gender stereotypes. Also, even though stay-at-home parenting is important, stay-at-home mothers are statistically less likely to be equally involved in financial decisions than working mothers are.

[Gabu]

No.  In fact, I had a stay-at-home dad.

[Keystone Phil]

No (sane)

Just as I don't have a problem with stay at home moms. I love when the feminists get all worked up about how a woman might stay at home instead of getting a job outside of her home. Oh, the horror.

[MODU]

Not at all.  Personally, I would love to be a stay-at-home dad if my wife had a great paying job (if I was married).

[Speed of Sound]

Certainly not. Stay at home parents, no matter which gender, can be very productive in the child's growth. The fact that it makles jmfcst uncomfortable because it bends the extremely rigid gender guidelines he pretends to believe in to hide his desire to be a man mom has nothing to do with it.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

I have no objection to either.

[Padfoot]

I have no problem with either.  In my future life, if my spouse makes more than I do or has the potential to do so I would be open to being a stay-at-home dad.  I think I might actually insist on it if my future kid was a boy.

[Hatman 🍁]

No, in fact it is much preferred that the father should stay home after the first 6-12 months after birth where both parents stay home.  I really like the idea of having dads stay home to look after children; sometimes I wish my own dad stayed home when I was younger instead of having to go to the babysitters.

[Ebowed]

Haha, no.  You'd have to be a total moron and freedom hating asshole to vote 'yes.'

[Alcon]

Not at all.  What are we, churning butter?

[opebo]

Of course I don't care.  However I would not recommend reproduction to working class people. In the first place it is a costly burden, and in the second it only produces yet another miserable serf.

[Tetro Kornbluth]

No. Unless you're referring to my parents - which is totally different, I would have hated to have a stay at home dad.

[Dr. Cynic]

Why does it make a difference?... Personally I wouldn't care what my parents would do, because if they needed a sitter for my two brothers they could always ask my 16 year old brother Chris, and if he wasn't home, they could drop them off at my place, and there would always be someone here.

[SPC]

No.

[patrick1]

I have no problem with either.  However, I think that generally speaking woman are better biologically suited to the nurturing role. Real men can certainly handle the task but I think it is more difficult.

[opebo]

No. Unless you're referring to my parents - which is totally different, I would have hated to have a stay at home dad.

Why do you hate your father, GF?

[AkSaber]

I don't have a problem with stay-at-home dads. Come to think of it, if I were married and the wife made enough money and the family needed a stay-at-home parent, I wouldn't mind raising the kids.

[Everett]

I don't have a problem with either. If the mother wants to stay home, fine. If the father wants to stay home, fine. It really pisses me off that my mom got so much sh**t from other people for staying at home and teaching the children, but well, people are stupid. The fact that she stayed home didn't seem to have reinforced any "stereotypes" at any rate.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Nope

[Willy Woz]

Stay at home parents should be banned.

[Хahar 🤔]

No.  In fact, I had a stay-at-home dad.

In a loose sense of the word, I assume.

[Person Man]

In fact, this is what the beauty of life extension would be. Parents could work, retire, and then raise kids at home together.
