I'd rather marry a girl that's an engineer too. Combined salaries would be like 115-150k.

I live your post(fiance is an engineer), we're above your high end though. It's great. ;)
 
They don't say if they covered salaried workers versus by-the-hour folks. That makes a big difference-the one with the stay-at-home slave will be able to work a few more hours in a month due to not having to run certain chores.

Really want to ramp up that pay? You can both work.

Edit: There's nothing more financially secure than a two-professional, no kid household, IMO.
 
Erm.. wouldnt the wife staying at home be the effect of making more money and not the cause?

Exactly what I was thinking.

And I agree with the theory for financial security is two-incomes, no children. My gf and I are DINK's. (Double Income, No Kids)

Fuck, you ruined my possible joke.

Change the thread title to :
Married women do more chores when husband earns more

Married men earn more than bachelors so long as their wives stay at home doing the housework, according to a report Wednesday from Britain's Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER).

Christ, it's like these people didn't even take basic statistics.

Correlation doesn't prove causation. I'd be more inclined to agree with dem, in that the causation is the other way around from the conclusion drawn by this report.
 
More women these days seem to be concerned with furthering themselves and totally forget the interest of furthering their family.

You sound like you're 40-years-old and have kids. And who can blame 'em? Families are hard work and kids are expensive. I'd rather spend my time and money having fun and being healthy!
 
So here is a question. If all these liberated women didn't flood the workforce, would that workforce be making more money?

/run
 
Thats pretty unsurprising result.

dual income would be soo much more attractive though....
 
LOL I'd make a horrible mom, but I do think that if you start a family that you do have a responsibility towards supporting it. I just think that if more women who have the ability to stay at home and raise their kids were to do so (instead of sticking them in daycares all day and never involving themselves in their lives), that we'd be a lot better off. I also think that when a couple works two separate jobs away from each other, that it does tend to detract from their interest in each other's affairs. I've seen so many divorces because of that.

I don't know when a woman taking a supportive role in a marriage over an independent one became something to look down upon anyways.
 
Thousands of husbands around the country read that article and immediately get their wives to quit their jobs and stay at home. :lol

No offense, I don't really know you or read many of your posts, but you look no older than 16-years-old. So I mean, you're young and hopefully, that'll change over time. You have kind of a narrow view of how it all works, but I think that's an age thing.

There are plenty of other industrialized nations where both sexes have jobs in the workplace and manage their relationships without resorting to divorce. The high divorce rate is a product of American culture, not female independence. We live in a country where it's easier to get married than it is to get divorced. I think the opposite should be true.

I don't mind women being homemakers as long as it's for the right reasons, and I've seen situations where it's not. And a wife as a homemaker doesn't necessarily make a good marriage or a good family.
 
If i have enough money i would make my wife stay home wiht the kids. Honestly 1 person should stay home and unless she has more earning potential than me then well she is gonne be staying home and making sure my kids dont start shooting up schools.


Kids need their mom.

I can see working together all day ever day becoming a problem too...
 
This is just my opinion, but I do think that women should raise their child for their first couple of years. There's many benefits to breast feeding and whatnot. I also think fathers should take time to help teach the kids.

But after the kid is at elementary school, I don't find the role of watching soap operas during the day, cooking, and playing with gardens as a helpful role. Cooking dinner takes like 20 minutes for me, I'm allergic to flowers, and soap operas are worthless. Get to work woman :P

Homemakers don't necessarily make for healthy upbringings or good marriages, all the time. Some people just can't handle it and they should never be pushed in that situation.

And I refuse to belief that kids that become hoodlums, violent or worse, do so because of a lack of a stay-at-home parent. I was a latch key kid myself and I've never had the urge to start killing people, because I had caring parents that worked hard, but managed their parenting duties well.

This is dumb. If a married guy is the only one working in the family, he is going to work a shit-ton of overtime or gravitate towards a job/position that pays alot of money (even if it slowly destroys his soul.)

Most working parents I know, both work ... but try to minimize the hours they work, so they both can contribute to housework and family.
