Anyone know a good divorce lawyer?

Not going to throw arrows. Although I don’t have kids of my own, I can’t imagine being a domestic engineer and not having at least a part-time job doing something else to occupy myself, my brain, etc. I would not want to be solely dependent financially on someone. I have to say that being a domestic engineer and raising children is a full time job. Some men know this and wouldn’t do it.

I can understand when the child is still a baby, infant, mothers would want to stay home to care and nurture. But once the kids in preschool and socializing w/other kids and in schools learning, I’d want to get back to doing some kind of work. Household chores are not the most rewarding.

If a woman chooses to work full time, there’s dual income, then I hope a cleaning lady is in the mix at least once a week, or the guy is doing chores as well. Either that or the house you work so hard to get goes to pot. More work maintaining the house than women get credit for.

MPO, women are not “Wonder Woman” or Superwomen and to have a full time job and do all the household chores AND taking care of kids, etc. all by herself is a recipe for disaster. If you keep driving a car and don’t change the oil, rotate tires, etc, the car is not going to function properly.

If there’s substantial money and the wife doesn’t need to work and she has a maid and is bored, then I say time to do some volunteer work, get involved w/the community, go to the gym and stay in shape, take up tennis or biking or something that makes you feel a sense of self-worth if not a job.

I never understand when women are bored. Get a life. Get a hobby, something.

Being a “domestic engineer” isn’t as bad as some of you make it sound. Believe me, interacting with a child on an emotional level frequently can alone be challenging. It’s not like you’re doomed to housework alone and all of a sudden become brainless.

Kids can keep you busy and you do other things that you did when you worked. You still get together with friends or “co-workers” so to speak. You still talk to people about the same things you did when you worked outside the home. You can volunteer when they’re in school. There are a multitude of things to do. Most of all, a parent who hopefully loves their child more than any paid caregiver, is there for the child on more levels and that is priceless imo. I’ve seen more men being a stay at home parent in the last 5 or so years and that’s refreshing.

I did not mean to demean the job of a domestic engineer at all. My mom was a stay at home mom. My dad was very old-fashioned and traditional. No wife of his was going to work. My mom wanted to. He wouldn’t hear of it. Her sole job was to cook, clean, laudry, iron, vacuum, dust, mop, windows, yard and taking care of us kids. It was more than a full time job. She did it w/love. She was never bored. She always found something to do. Her yard was her hobby. I admire and appreciate all her work. My dad worked constantly. That’s where he thrived. We didn’t have much quality time w/him and that’s a shame. That’s why I say, more important than a house, take time w/the kids, throw a football, or kick a soccer ball, or color w/them. Whatever.
They’re only kids once.

I don’t think you were demeaning being a stay at home parent, although I think some posters do. I fully agree with you that more important than a house, take time with the kids. It doesn’t always mean doing something actively with them. Just being around them has it rewards too for both the parent and child.
