House Husband

househusbands are becoming more and more common now, so don't doubt me on my quest i personally think it'd be great to come home at the end of the day and not have to worry about anything else because someone else has already taken care of it.

I aspire to become a house husband.

My boyfriend has a decent job and I have no job. If we move in together I hope he'll be cool with me staying home and doing to chores while he works.

I've always done most of the house-work as I worked nights & had the daytime hours to kill. My ex and I worked opposite hours but, even after our daughter was born (& years after) I kept up this routine. Eventually proved to be too much. However, I really loved being the Mr. Mom. I'm a bit OCD.

What exactly is a house husband?

Someone who doesn't want to do real work.

I wanna be a house husband :P

Growing up, my mother and sister always took care of the household chores with the result that when I was on my own two feet, I was absolutely useless domestically - and still am, in fact. I can barely figure out appliances of any sort. In retrospect I think my upbringing was probably a little too traditional. Given my ineptitude I doubt I'd make a good house husband (or any type of husband really) but it's nice to know that setups like this are possible in the 21st century.

Hmmmmm.... my ex was a house husband for a while. It was horrible because I couldn't get over the guilt that I wasn't do those jobs. I've been primary bread winner most of my life, yet I don't want a house husband. It didn't work for me.

BUT, I totally dig it that it works for other people. I just wished it could have worked for me.

Same with my stepfather. He's a Greek man from Germany, and they came over about nine months ago. They moved back to Kentucky and married in February. Apparently, it's going to take about a year and a half before he'll become legal no short thanks to the backed-up paperwork.

oh yes, am an aspiring actor and musician so maybe one day i can be a house husband, i'm quite a clean and tidy person anyway

Not sure if I understand correctly the reply to my question, but if I do, then I can say that I am a house husband who does "real and normal" work too outside full time. At times I feel I am going to collapse.

Oh, I think this is a normal characteristic of certain artistic dispositions. That's how I feel it while I continue my music studies, despite my work and family load. Children can give you a hard time if you have the tendency to be as tidy as you say. I say this from personal experience.

Yeah, my partner and I have been together for 16 years. The first year I stayed home and he worked. Then we bought a business and haad it for 9 years. We worked side by side from 6 AM to 11 PM 365 days a year for 9 years. It was incredible. We sold the business and moved and he works now and I have been at home for 6 1/12 years.. I want a job but it is really difficult to get one in today's economy. So, I take care of the house,shop,cook and clean.

I'm retired as of 2 yrs ago, and sort of a house husband. i do kitchen cleanup, pay the bills, grocery shop and my own laundry. I also fix all the stuff that gets broken, wrench on our 5 cars, clean, wash & wax our cars, fertilize and treat the yard, split the mowing of yard with my wife, she likes to mow, clean and upkeep our backyard pool. my wife does not work either. she has her pets and flowers to keep her busy. I have remodeled a bathroom, painted, and put in a tile floor in kitchen and dining area. i'm kind of a jack of all trades, but not an expert on anything.

my sex drive is much higher than hers, but it is nice to just go in the bedroom and screw whenever the urge hits and we are in sync. no waiting til after the job, or that dinner meeting, or after the kids in bed. last winter, snowy day, we stayed in bed all day and fucked. wife said it was better than it was when we first got married 30 yrs ago. no commitments, few obligations. spread'm honey, I'm coming in.

I would never have used the term 'house husband' to describe myself, because I did work full-time while I was married. But I did most of the jobs that were traditionally done by wives: cooking, cleaning, etc. My ex-wife always wanted dinner ready when she got back from work. Of course, with only 10 minutes notice of when she was coming back, it's tough to make something good.
