What kind of husband is good for a woman's career?

Who says choosing to stay at home and raising a human being or two is any "less ambitious" than going to work...I couldn't make it past the second paragraph. ANYONE, man or woman, who chooses to stay at home and raise their children has high aspirations indeed.

"A great househusband, much like a reliable wireless connection, may be a modern necessity for workingwomen the world round. "

This is the stupidest, least-inspiring opening sentence I've read in a LONG time.

So I guess being in love is too inefficient in the bigger scheme of things.

I'm so glad that I can be a stay-at-home mom. I don't want to hire someone else to raise my kids for me. I've never looked at quitting my career as a sacrifice. It's a full time job to raise children properly and take care of a household.

Ladies! I'm available and have no ambition whatsoever. Whadda ya say?

thumbs up if you came on here just to see everyone's reaction to it in the comments

Husband stays at home gets labelled: "Kept man" "Lazy" "Not an Alpha Male, obviously" "puts all the pressure on his wife to provide for them" and all such little tags to indicate his weakness. Husband that works gets labelled "ambitious" "Selfish" since he is obviously only interested in his own career. Wife stays at home, gets sympathetically labelled "Subordinate" "Stifled" "Trapped" "Dominated" "Held back" "Discriminated against" "Enslaved by her traditional gender role" Wife goes to work "Supermom" "Ambitious and strong woman (in a positive sense)" "Liberated"
Looking at this, one wonders how a male can actually be seen as 'good' at all in a marriage. And then they wonder why guys don't want to commit.
Well, duh...
I became a stay-at-home dad and I am so tired of all this hypocrisy. On the other hand, it does not bother me that much, since these first two years haven been the best two years of my life, thanks to the time I have had with my daughter. Where others complain about being 'trapped at home', I shake my head in disbelief. Yes, I miss work sometimes. But every day I miss with my daughter, is a day I will NEVER get back. It's not a effing burden, for godsake! It has been the priviledge of my life. I have no regrets.

My balls hurt just reading this... sad day for the male sex.

I think we have a dilemma here. Most if not all ambitious women prefer more successful men, and ambitious beings often care about themselves the most. So long as their kids are well fed and surrounded with luxurious toys, they considered themselves good parents. Who give a damn about the mental states of their kids? Also, males without successful careers are considered losers by many in reality. I am afraid only ambitious men are being embraced by our societies, or women. The rest can just jump off the bridges.

I thought there was another study that said there was an increase in divorce rates when the woman had a higher salary and more prestigious job than her husband. That contradicts this study's finding.

i like it! i'll stay at home, mow the lawn, rake leaves, workout for a bit, eat, play video games, vacuum, clean the bathroom, laundry, put all that shit away, start cooking dinner, watch some tv, play more video games, nap, take a shower.... wait, there's a baby around here? shit.... lol

personally I hate working but I have a great job with 10 to 12 hr days yes but always only 4 days a week always 3 day weekends unless a stat happens and then one weekend becomes a two day weekend and the next one becomes a 4 day weekend COULD not be happier with this even never getting paid for a stat which saves my employer big time is worth the extra day at home with the family. Note the empoyers happy emloyee's PRODUCE and you might even be able to produce more jobs in the end needing more employee's for the extra day's your open. But Don't forget your family really needs you to have time off too.

if you aim to get a guy just because of whats your career.. or already stupid lol.. just be with who you love enough to care about and get along with. durp, lol yahoo dating advice, what a stupid article. Whoever wrote this has probably been single there whole life

I would like to find out how I can get funding for my $10 million study: Does pizza taste better hot and fresh or stale and cold while trying to recoup from a hangover on a Sunday morning. The $10 million that I require for the research is for pizza and booze.

Both males and females are responsible for home kids and work, so grow up men and if you want the wife, kids (the whole happy family) it takes two people to run the household, not one!!!

the better solution is to have husband and wife with less ambitions but should be making enough money to live a peaceful and enjoyable life. i guess more than $100K combined would do.

Mothers are biologically attached to their kids and the thought of loosing them sometimes means the end of life itself. (This is why many mothers will kill their children if they cannot raise them.) This attachment is so strong that a very possessive mother will do or say almost anything to ensure that she keeps her children in her control. They are hers and hers alone. This is greatly helped with the nations divorce laws which support children staying with their mothers and leaving fathers with very few if any rights.

Now 5 years after the divorce my former spouse is still completely possessive of her children and refuses to let them see their biological father. Her fear factor borders on paranoia.

As a working mother with three children now aged 7, 11 and 13 years of age, I wonder how her working career has been impacted by having to balance the demands of her professional career and raising her three children? I know from my own experience that raising three kids 2 1/2, 6 and 8 years old was a full time job. I can only imagine that the task gets more difficult as the kids get older.

As a very obsessive and controlling mother, I also began to notice that my former spouse is extremely paranoid and fearful of everything. Do these traits for women “super moms” go hand in hand?

My own personality is very laid back. Think surfer / boogie boarder at the beach.

Despite my divorce and loss of my three kids, my stay-at-home father instincts are still very strong and I enjoy working with local community kids on community oriented art programs. This artwork is then scanned into the computer and assembled into “Kids Art Album eBooks”.

So I agree with this article that for a wife to succeed in a busy professional career that requires many extra hours away from home that she requires a husband willing to put in more effort at home raising the kids. This is role reversal.

Women seeking these power positions and wanting a family are better off with a spouse who is oriented to helping out at home rather than a man pursuing his own power career.

The trouble today is that women's expectations are to find a spouse who is making as much money or more than she is. The problem with professional women is that the professional men they are seeking will not be suitable to raising children and spending more time at home.

Most of us work too much. Ambition and 80hr work weeks do not have to be synonymous with each other. If it's your own small business, that's understandable. But competition in the corporate world, especially amongst relatively low paid contract workers is out of control..

We'll never see an article describing the best wife for a man's career. As usual, a topic filled with misandry = GARBAGE

The basis of this research is a Country that is seeing a decline in the conventional structure of "Marriage" anyway, regardless of who works where. If your trying to find cabbage in a strawberry farm - I doubt that there will be any relevance to the search or the result..
