By the time I'm ready to have kids, I will hopefully have established myself in my career for about 20 years. (Pilot). I want to be flying corporate jets. With that I'll be able to have plenty of time with my family, not to mention be able to fly them anywhere we want for free.
Like somebody said before me, i owuldn't expect my wife to put her carrer on hold to take care of my family. That's gonna be a team effort, and I'd help her out as much as she needed, so that she could continue with her career.
See, thats the problem. You are thinking from your point of view and not from anyone elses. It's what will work for BOTH parties, not just you.
couldn't have said it better myself. but i'm interested in seeing what some of these guys will say...
Angie I'm sure you know what I think. I like my women dressed up nice, taken care of my kids, fixin my food, and cleanin da house. If she do so much as bring my house shoes to me late when I get home she will get her allowance docked and lose her tv priviliges (sp?). Women gotta know there roll you know what im sayin. woman.........
that's some sh!t you see on mary 8-) (tasia)
*calls up dee west* whoa! i'm glad you are just kidding about that....
I know you have only opened this question to the fellas, but I have been thinking extensively about this topic and have come to the following conclusion. After I graduate from Pharmacy school, I do actually want to practice, get settled, and make some used of my degree.....I mean it would be absolutely pointless if I did anything else. Afterward, when my husband and I decide to have children....I would willingly give up my job to be with my children. I don't feel like I would be losing my identity as a professional woman....it is more important to me that I have a hands-on role with my children. I would still want my husband to work, but also be involved with the children. It was like that for me growing up and I loved every moment of it. When it does come time for my children to go to school and what not, I will resume my career....but I wouldn't mind being a stay at home mom during their developmental years....at all....
I'm glad he was joking about that comment made earlier in this forum. The one made about women staying in their place. I'd have to say that I do think it is important to be apart of your childs' life the first five years and I would stop working and let my husband work but later on I would continue to work and my husband would have to be apart of the first five years as well. But I wouldn't have kids until my husband and I were both financially stable and prepared to take them on, which means my career would have to be at some type of advancement first.
Career woman who will stay home and help raise the kids if needed to. Absolutely NOT a housewife. Why would she need to be home when the kids are at school. Get yo **** to work!
The way I see it is I am definately the career women and when I get married I will definately make sure I am established anough to really start a family. Both me and my husband will discuss when we are ready for children. When I do I feel that it should be a equal thing between raising our children. What ever job I have, I will work around my scedule and have time for my children me and my husband should be able to do this.
A true "career" woman will have her priorities in order when it comes to working for that dollar. Once she gives birth, she'll be able to juggle. THAT'S where YOU come in. She probably wont be able to work much soon after giving birth, so you'll have to pick up the slack. After she's settled and ready to work again, it's going to take BOTH PARTIES to raise the kids, work, pay the bills, etc.
I'll take a career woman. But she has to realize that it takes two to make a house a home.
*Kool starts singing...."It takes 2 BABY!!"*
i just think alot of women are actually afraid and ashamed and see it as derogatory to be an real woman...and don't give me that crap about "what is the definition of a real woman??"...i'm not even going to go there... 8-) (tasia)
whoa! i'm glad you are just kidding about that....
