Are a lot of women jealous of stay-at-home wives?
I cannot speak for every woman.After an demanding 6 year long medicine course, I stayed at home for a month. The feeling of waking up and not rushing to work was a relief. I could finally watch TV to my heart’s content or spend the whole day reading novels without feeling guilty. Everyday I roamed the streets of Waterford, Ireland and did not get bored. I felt that stay at home wives had a fun life, afterall.After a couple of weeks (and not being in Ireland anymore), the pleasure of doing nothing started growing old. I yearned for something to do. I missed having a purpose to my existence. Besides, I make a terrible stay at home wife. I would gladly dress a pus filled wound than work on tower of dirty dishes.Having a strong sense of independence, I feel embarrassed to depend on my spouse when I want to contribute to the relationship financially.Fast forward 2 years, and I am desperate to work. If only New Zealand was more open to overseas trained doctors a chance at work.Being a stay at home wife is no fun for me. I’ve seen both sides, and I would any day choose to work.

Any military wives and mothers on here how did you meet your military husband?
You serioiusly need a reality check. Living on base is hard. Most familys barely make any money as their rent and pay electric/heating/water is taken from their paycheck before they see it. Base housing is horrible, some houses still have lead paint in them. Seriously, enough with the fantasys and grow the hell up.
Why are most Army wives fat?
Nearly every post that I have been stationed on or lived on has had an abundance of fat Army wives. Most of them are also really trashy, but the thing that stands out the most is just how fat they are. Anyone have an idea why that is?
Stay at home Mom thinking about joining the military part-time.?
My husband lost his job and we are having a terrible time making ends meet. He has become depressed due to the fact that he has not become employed as of yet. I am a stay at home Mom. I feel a need to try to help out and was thinking about part-time military. I have one daughter, she is 3 years old, she is my entire world, and I do not want to be away from her any more than is absolutely needed. I'm a bit apprehensive about joining the Army or Marines. I have heard that these are the forces that are first to deploy. I have 3 years of college under my belt, so I was wondering how any of the armed forces could help me in finishing my degree and possible paying back loans. I would love to be a part of the military. It would make me feel like I am contributing to my situation and at the same time securing a better future for my daughter. I have approached my husband to possibly get him to enlist since he actually has a degree, and would be going for his masters, but he's afraid that with his current depression, he would not be accepted. Which puts me in a spot of having to take some sort of action myself. I would be interested to hear from anyone with any knowledge of Mom's serving part-time in the military...and how it works or does not work out for them. Or any sort of military info. that would be helpful. Thank you so much!
How do you feel about stay-at-home wives or husbands with no kids?
I’m completely against the entire notion, because I see, everyday, where it leads.To cut a conversation short, it creates resentment between the spouses which most often than not leads to abuse and or/cheating.Besides, I can’t imagine WHY a healthy adult capable of holding a job would put themselves in a position to be finantially dependent on their spouse considering the marriage statistics.Because of my work field, everyday, I see women in their 40s and 50s being left by their husbands, and because they devoted their entire lives to being “homemakers”, they have no marketable skills and have next to no chance of re-entering the job market.Pardon my frankness, but it seems like utter and complete insanity. It seems downright dumb. Don’t do it, please.
What should I expect of my stay at home wife?
I work full time. I work anywhere from 40-50 hours a week. My wife is a stay at home mom she has been for about five years. We have four beautiful daughters. There ages are 1, 3, 4, and 9. I also work anywhere from 80 to 120 miles away from home on the average day. I normally leave home at 5:30 am and don't see home until after 6. My problem is that half the time when I get home at night the same laundry is in the washer as the day before, there are dishes in the sink that I saw when i left in the morning. When I bring it up we always fight over it. I help out as much as I can. Now don't get me wrong I'm not expecting a perfect house when I get home. I know my kids, it is impossible. The biggest thing is that I'm out busting my tail everyday and when I get home we fight because I expect too much out of her. I let her have free time. She plays softball two nights a week. And she gets to go out on the weekends when she wants to. The other thing that really bothers me is that I adore my kids I always spend time with them. Since we have bought our house I have totally remodeled it, built a garage, re landscaped our yard. I take care of everything outside and I help inside. All of the work on the house has been done by me. Am I expecting too much of my wife? All I am asking is for the same effort that I put in. Whenever she leaves me alone with the kids I try to clean up unless I am dead tired.
What percentage of wives in the U.S. have cheated on their husbands?
No woman is adultery-proof according to psychologist and author Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil.More than 50 percent of all married women, at some point, cheat on their mates, says Weil, so husbands should never be too cocky that their wife won't stray. "You have to be on the alert that at any moment you could lose your partner," she says.20/20 and Men's Health Magazine chose three married women — a stay-at-home mom, a model and a production artist — to participate in a fidelity experiment.They all say they are committed to their marriages and have never cheated on their husbands, but after examining their lifestyles, Weil says one of them is more likely than the others to commit adultery.Weil's determination of who is most likely to cheat was based on the women's fidelity factors which are listed below. Her conclusion was that Erin, the stay-at-home mom whose husband regularly travels, is the most likely to be unfaithful. Click here to see that Weil's analysis was not a surprise to many ABC News users. You can also watch video of the three women making their predictions.Tonya Atkinson, 29 years old, is a production artist, and recently had a baby with her husband of four years. Experts say that passion wanes in almost all relationships in the first year after the birth of a child and Tonya admits that she and her husband don't spend as much time together as they used to. To get back in shape after the baby, Tonya has been spending a lot of time at the gym and says men are starting to notice her again. While she and her husband argue more now that they did before the baby, experts say respectful disagreements are healthy and show the passion in a relationship.Erin Schmitt just turned 30. She's been married nine years and is a stay-at-home mom. Her husband travels for business, and is on the road at least two nights per week. Experts say a lonely wife may be susceptible to the advancements of another man. Erin's husband's frequent traveling made her the most susceptible to an affair according to Dr. Weil, and in fact, Erin has become friendly with a stay-at-home father who lives in the neighborhood. She says, however, her relationship with her husband still sizzles and when he's in town they enjoy their time together whether it's going out on romantic dates or just cuddling at home.Credits: ABC
Should stay-at-home dads be just as common as stay-at-home moms?
My wife and I both worked the same job but for different airlines. (I worked for one but her company handled several.) We both made about the same money and worked close to home. Early on, we had decided that one of would become a stay-at-home parent probably about middle-school age. She would stay home if we had a girl and I’d stay home if we had a boy. We had a boy. Because of our schedules, we both had 3 days off a week so we had 6 days where one would be home all day. We also worked opposite hours, so I was home in the morning of the one day not covered and she was home at night.That was the plan. My airline merged with another and, after a few years, we were told that we were to move to the other coast. No way were we going to do that so I quit and was able to be at home all the time. I had previously done some “work-at-home” stuff for movie producer friends and was able to make some good money doing that again.So, I was largely the stay-at-home dad for my son who managed to grow up in Los Angeles and become a fine young man, who is an engineering student (a senior), was a SGT in the CO Army National Guard with a one year deployment attached to JSOC under his belt, and is now a Warrant Officer Candidate.BTW, his friends loved to come over to our house even though “daddy was home”. I instilled some discipline in them which, surprisingly, they enjoyed. If they had untied shoelaces, pants hanging low, or other offenses, they had to “drop and give me 20!” They have all turned out well. One became an LA County firefighter, another is a LA County deputy sheriff, and the third, the worst offender who did the most push-ups, got married, worked for Habitat for Humanity for several years then moved to CO to go to the same university as our son to get his teaching certificate to teach history. So this stay-at-home dad sort of raised 4 boys.
