There’s a new “trend” in society of “stay at home dads”, or “house husbands”. Typically, we have always seen the man as the provider and woman as the nurturer. Research, biology and statistics have shown women to be far more “able and apt” in the role of the primary care giver. Perhaps that’s true because we are victims of our conditioning, and also victims of stereotyping, but what about new dynamics where men are also exploring their ability and desire to nurture and nest?
Change is always both welcome and met with resistance. A lot of people who I speak to think it’s unacceptable that a man sits at home while his wife goes to work. I feel they are not demeaning men by thinking so, they are demeaning the role of a housewife. If we scoff at a man who sits at home, we in effect are scoffing at every woman who is a sit at home mom and insinuating that her role is not on par in the family and that she does nothing of great significance or value.Stay at home dads and husbands - TOI Blogs
My wife still is working, and I am retired from regular "job". May be I do not qualify for this designation. LOL
