Would you ever be a stay home parent?

Would you ever be a stay at home parent? Would you care if your husband / you if you're a male wanted to stay home whilst the female in the relationship worked instead?

What if you're in a civil partnership? Homophobe!! ;l

I suppose it depends on how much money is rolling in before you can make a decision like that. :)

This is a really difficult one as I am a bit old fashioned when it comes to children. I would love a career but like to stay home in the early years before school if financial circunstances allow it or maybe work from home during this time. If no children then no I would not want to stay at home and I would not expect my partner/husband to do it either.

I personally could never be a stay at home parent, i have too many career aspirations to just sit and home and do basically **** all :/ not my kinda thing.

I believe in the work being shared equally between the parents, thus both earning a decent income means a lot more high quality chilled out lifestyle.

I wouldn't be able to be a stay at home parent, maybe for the first year in the childs life, or maybe until they start going to nursery, I wouldn't like to stay at home looking after the children all day, but then again, if we was earning enough money I would.

Hell yeah. Love kids and honestly wouldnt mind. I generally lay about anyway and i love chilling at home and learning things in my own time. Not to mention that im a computer geek so id probably be able to get the sameish job and work from home anyway

I'm very old-fashioned and right-wing in my views on this. My view is 'Women may have jobs however their first and foremost priority is to be mothers and home makers' however I love kids so I'd have no problem doing part-time each if we earned enough. But I'd never be completely jobless so my wife could have a job.

I wouldnt mind staying home, mainly because i wont have a kid unless men can become pregnnant nowadays or if i decide to adopt.

But i wouldnt mind staying at home or working.

I wouldn't like to be a stay at home mum, I wouldn't mind for the first couple of years of my child's life if possible but after that I would want to work again.

lol wow are you my grandad.
i don't see a problem with women staying at home if the male is bringing in money but personally i wouldn't myself. maybe for the first year or so

[Neversoft]

I hate work but I am amazing with kids and they all seem to love me so I would prefer it. But being a man I am expected to bring home the benjamins. What a harsh life. :(

[Shar]

I wouldn't mind I guess, I'm good with kids but I'm no domestic goddess..

[Jssy]

I'd love to. Ideally I'd like to spend as much time with my kids in their childhood as I could so maybe if I go into hairdressing being a home hairdresser would be a good option so I could look after my kids on the job.

do basically **** all? you do realize you have to care for a child which is very demanding at first..and housework and go shopping it's not all about sitting on your bum all day and yeah i would my mum stayed at home until i was 7 & my sister was just starting school because she wanted to spend more time with us and i wouldn't change a thing she's always been there i always come back to my own house & always have done no need to go to a childminder or babysitter and my dad has a really good job it's not as if she needs to work & she only does part time now because when we went to school like it wasn't as demanding for her so she went back to work
