Is there a difference when the father is the homemaker? Often men feel differently about mom being the breadwinner and provider of the household. Today more and more fathers are taking off the suit and putting on the apron. Mothers are steping out of the kitchen and carrying the briefcase. Learning to make compromises and sacrafices for the family is all about trust and fellowship with your mate. Fathers are just as much needed in the home as mom, but how does it make him feel, I often wondered.
Marriage is a rollercoaster ride it can have it’s up’s and down’s. Just when you assume you have figured out the equation of it all you reach the top of the ride and you suddenly drop. You hair is flying in the wind and your holding onto your breath hoping the ride will slow down and become steady.
Being a homemaker is a wonderful way to see what you have been missing going to work everyday. Although I will admit there are times I do miss the rush hour traffic and the rush of getting there and achieving a goal for the company I hold so dear. Learning to take a step back from working and becoming a homemaker was very hard and complicated.
I believe that you learn how independent you are and the great qualities of leadership you carry. I was the head of the household for my family and yet my husband felt a sense of insecurity about me bringing home the bacon.
I never threw it up in his face, it was a sense of him feeling as if I was the man and he was the woman. I have asked a lot of men about this and some have said that it does make them feel less as if they are not needed in the home.
I want to say to the husbands who stay at home that you are needed and everything you do at home with the children helps. Whether you are teaching him to fly a kite or showing her how to curtsy, a father’s place in the home is just as important as if mother was there.
The definition of family describes two or more people who share goals and values, have long term commitments to one another residing in the same dwelling place. If you and your wife made a decision regarding which one of you would stay home with the kids, realize that every moment with your children is a miracle and a blessing.
I think of the moments I missed out when I was working that I could never get back. I missed my son's award ceremony and competitions, but I know that daddy was there, that someone was there when I couldn’t be there at all.
Eventually your children will grow and your decision to be home may change. While you are there enjoy it because I promise you will miss it when your back to working. If you still feel as if you want to contribute to your home by working try finding a work from home job or go into business for yourself, be your own boss and call the shots. Take pride in being the father who made a sacrifice by being home for the family, and never think less of a man, more like the bigger man.
Great post. I couldn't agree with you more. I think it is wonderful when a father chooses to stay home; they bring a completely different element to the family. Men should never underestimate their role in the family. Bringing home the bacon is only ONE of those roles!
That is right Go ahead with your bad self. Now a days to me Fathers are a definite big need in the home for young boys as wells girls. With boys Fathers place their path in the right directions and positives enviroments, a father teaches him how to be a good young Man. With daughters a father teachers her that she can do it all and she doesnt need a man to make her feel whole because her father has told her each and everyday that grew how beautiful she really is inside and out. Thanks Mr Lady I appreicate it
