Stay-at-Home Dads Reflect on Criticism

Meet the fathers who say being Mr. Mom is not only manly, it's a tough, full-time job.

[@MoistMumble]

Let me get this straight. So people complain about men who have nothing to do with their children, and people complain when the father decides to stay at home and be an active, loving parent? I'm I missing something? Can no one win anymore? Parenting ain't easy, for anyone. Well done for these guys to step up and saying "I'll take this job."

I love taking care of them, they're my whole life and my fiance works her ass off 12 hours a day 6 days a week and it's hard. When I grew up my dad worked like that and my mom took care of me and my sister. Things can change, no matter your gender we can all do it. I never seen myself doing this but I'm glad I am. These kids make me want to strive for better. They make me want to be healthier and a better person. Having kids changes your life. I wouldn't ever change it back, kids are a blessing. I quit a lot of bad habits and dropped a lot of things in my life that were getting me no where in life. Focusing on my kids and my lovely lady is all I need to be happy

I've been a stay at home dad for 2 years now and have been struggling with the mental battles I put myself thru. Im ashamed for not being the bread winner despite my wife being perfectly fine with our roles. I feel judged by my in laws, friends, and even my own family for taking on this role (despite never actually being judged). I'm even ashamed to take my 2 year old son, and 5 month old daughter to the park alone cuz I feel it's not "manly" for a guy to be seen with kids in a stroller. Yea I know... I need help 🙁

I think men should be allowed to do whatever they want to, just like women are. If they want to go out and work, then that's fine. If they want to raise kids, then that's fine. If they never want to get married at all nor have kids, then that's fine. Anyway, I think it would be good for children to have more interaction with their fathers. It's sad how many people have strained relationships with their fathers because they're never around. Why should women have sole power over how the children are raised?

Is it really that surprising that stay at home dads/husbands get criticized? It's been a secret "law" of society that men should work outside the home while women stay home, which I believe is bologna. If women can do any job men can do, then certainly men can do work that women do in the household. Nothing's wrong with that. It doesn't make them any less of a man. Granted, I have no intention of being a stay at home husband, but that's by choice for me. At any rate, it's nobody's business what people do with their lives, personally or professionally. If it's do any real harm to your life in any way, why do you care?

[@keysersoze4322]

I honestly think it's admirable when men can put aside all that macho/ego crap and get on with it. It's not that they're not capable to go and work, of course they are, it is like you say, a choice. I actually think it makes for a more dynamic person. People who are against it are insecure in their masculinity, they wouldn't feel so threatened by it otherwise. Your job alone doesn't define you as a man, and if you feel it does then there must be a lot lacking elsewhere.

[@keysersoze4322]

Got to disagree Manuel. Some will, some won't. Granted the ones that do are probably in the minority. I would say though that it tends to be highly educated women with good jobs that gravitate to men that would like to be stay at home dads. For career reasons, obviously. Regardless, as long as the kids are well cared for it really doesn't matter by whom, in my opinion.

Hearing the woman talk about this as if it's some shocking concept is alien....

[@dannynyman9681]

Interesting...they should also do a story about the stay at home dads who get criticized by their wives who work.

[@mauricegibney8449]

I was a stay at home Dad for five years. Everyone's circumstances differ and NO ONE has the right to criticise! It is a tough job, a rewarding job, a memorable!!!! Job... People who are critical are basically full blown idiots, end of... I wrote a book in my spare time; which I didn't have much of. I LOVED the time at home with my children. Yes I am a tradesman and worked my whole life, work was harder at home with the children, No break!! I still come home from work now and pick them up from school... Never the need to waste money on a child minder. I watched my little ones take their first steps! We are a very practical family and there is more to life that materialistic things... Forget about Beyonce the Liberal pathogen is strong with her... Dads, stay strong, stay safe, be good. It's the most important job there is...

[@katiearbuckle9017]

Nothing wrong with being a natural partnership. Who cares who works or who watches the kids sometimes the dynamic doesn't turn out in the regular sense.

[@weirdtemple1217]

No wonder woke culture is strong, and this LGBT nonsense is being pushed

[@yesplease6399]

Imagine calling a man who does one of the hardest 24/7 jobs in the world a 'bum'.

[@dianaswing]

"Trophy husbands"? I take objection to that.

[@ashleycasey2093]

Is it safe to say that I believe that BOTH parents should stay at home with their kids? :/

[@ashleycasey2093]

David Karres We need more people to retire and go off grid before having kids.

[@lilkitten4839]

Absolutely! We need to train more people to be entrepreneurs, rather than employees so they *can* spend more time at home with their kids.

[@ashleycasey2093]

Chris Humphreys My solution was to encourage 'older parents', off-grid minimalist living, and retirement. I know it sounds crazy but think about it: most of the reason why parenting is challenging nowadays is because people usually go into young; unprepared; and naive, some of them haven't even completely 'matured' yet, and are still finding self identity. Older parents tend to be more mature; more financially stabled, and more prepared. As for *_off-grid minimalist living_*, you're just going to have to do a google search to understand how this benefits parents.

[@lemonmarie2161]

Then who the hell is going to take care of the bills?

[@jayaltizer9651]

only if the both parents disable you can't work but they could be a bear parents I believe to stay at home parents would do great that's only difference of two stay-at-home parents but but someone's got to be a bread winners or both could work full-time and take care of the kids. see we achieve equality.

[@marianaandrews6274]

Whats the big deal...sometimes it is a necessity. He seemed pretty competant so why not. Sometimes the choice maybe financial, other times convenience of location of employment. There are many reasons for such a de ision. They are both parents so either should be able to do the job

[@Darknightdriver1]

Nothing wrong with this. First, the couple is in agreement because this is best for their family. Second, the dad is looking out for the children and taking care of them.

[@mennoshouseofmusic1214]

My wife is leading Twitch Germany, Austria & Switzerland. I am a musician and take care of our 2 kids!

[@christycapers4715]

Just the fact that that woman used the verb “mommying” to mean “taking care of the kids” is a problem.

[@romeomonteverde]

What's the problem with this anyway? If a woman wants to work and can't sacrifice someone not to stay home with the kids and the mom gets a better opportunity financially and career wise and she's ok with it, why not? It's best to have a parent taking care of the child than just anyone else.

[@vanna13v]

[@androfanatic9548]

I am a girl I wouldn't mind having my male or female spose take care of kids .If both of the parents agree to that one of them will stay home and one will work it's there choice it isn't hurting anyone so we shouldn't Jude just cause it isn't how we think it should be

[@FukcAUsername]

I have chosen to stay home with my kids the past couple years and tbh i cant wait to get a job again. I just dont know where to start to find one. Only person that we have to pick up and watch our kids is their grandmother and she's getting too old to have to pick them up from school and cater to 2 kids everyday until we get home. She's going on 70. She did it for many years with my first son and now thats she's older i dont want to put that strain on her again. My children are not her responsibility and i want to be the one caring for them and teaching them everyday. I still make money selling on ebay and a couple other endeavors i have so money isnt the reason why i want to work. I just want to be more active again and of course the stigma that the dad should be working and making money is always in my mind

[@dandysrulitos8942]

"Unga bunga men alpha, men make money, men buy bread, women stay at home, they make food" ..... I get the point of you trying to be a "leader" and all that bullshit bro, but if you have to remember yourself constantly that you're the "alpha male" of the relationship I think there's something wrong in there 😅

[@eltemplariodetierrasanta7234]

Worst part, there is a dude speaking like that in the comments here LMAO.

[@billhayes6501]

I make 17/hr. My mother/father in law hate me for working part time. Our son just turned 2 years old ( I’m the primary caretaker) My wife Makes 45/year. I loved her just as much while she was making around 15k/ year. Apparently; I don’t appreciate her.

[@CherryStudios2]

That's stupid (that your in-laws act that way). I'm sorry to hear that. For what it's worth, I think parenting is one of the best things a person can do with their life. So many kids these days aren't taught right from wrong, don't feel valued or loved, and don't have someone really paying attention to their needs. You're making a huge difference in your son's life, and he won't forget that.

[@dermotosullivan3065]

Being a stay-at-home dad is a cop-out. Women don't really respect them and many of these guys get cheated on.

[@mighty8468]

Uh I have a mum that's at work and a dad that stays at home, I didn't know it was debated wether parents are at work or at home...

[@loho1125]

So let me get this straight: Mother stays at home: Other women: omg she's so unemancipated but the dude is a monster for not helping her Other men in a condascending way: that's where she belongs Dad stays home: Other men: omg he's failing at being a man Other women: omg men can't be as good parents as women and the mother is abandoning her child So everybody loses. Every time. Every way. That's messed up.

[@vanna13v]

[@aw3752]

Being a stay at home dad is an incredible, rewarding experience. It’s wonderful… until you try to return to the workforce after a 10 to 18 year gap. Almost no one will hire you. There’s too much stigma and judgment attached.

[@r-e_mii]

Theres nothing wrong with either gender being a stay at home parent but stay at home moms have been ridiculed for generations. Said "its not a job", "what do you do all day", "oh like you have so much to do". Sorry but no congrats for being a stay at home dad from me. Nope. I applaud all stay at home parents. Can you really use beyonce as an example? She has nannies, a housekeeper etc. Everything the regular mom does, she doesnt. Wheres the article/video regarding stay at home mothers? Ill wait 💅

[@gabrielvevo100]

mooching off the Mother? it's like what the hell? She is Providing for her family, being her husband and her kids!!! what is wrong with Providing for your family? if the genders are reversed who cares someone needs to provide and in this case its the Moms or the wives.

Being a living and involved parent is what is important. The gender really doesn’t matter. Also this video is silly talking about it as though it’s a miracle for a man to have some basic parenting skills.

the sad part is that now a days when guys are stay at home dads even their wives treat them like they're not a man. They are told you do the dishes I got the yard. or when a trespasser poses a threat dad's instinct is to show that guy who runs the land. suddenly momma now says no back down little boy momma has this. Then she softly says now this isn't okay. as if somehow a hostile person is gonna take that shit seriously

But we can't live together anymore.Divorce too many times is about forgiveness or selfishness.I think courts should put the parents on Marriage probation make them put the kids future first. I know I wouldn't have told my mom,if my parents had stayed together until we were 18...... oh mom I wish you would have gone on and made yourself happy . Or ... I would rather you have divorced rather than fighting all the time... we were scared. These are the tactics psychologists use on parents
