I have no problem with my wife staying at home, and taking care of the kids, and keeping the house clean.
I have no problem providing for her. But if she wants the Chanel bags, expensive shoes, nails, etc, then she can work part time.
Basic clothes, fine. I’ll even pay for her car insurance, gas, and cell phone. I’ll pay for the kids’ clothes.
I think having a stay at home mom is beneficial to the kids, and I’d prefer someone be at home when they get home to make sure they do their homework, and get picked up from extra curricular activities. And I will INSIST my children have extra curricular activities, whether it’s sports, music, dance, etc.
I think too many black men are too focused on a woman using us, and less on the quality of their family. We are the only group who cares about our women’s career. And I know it’s difficult for any family to live on one income, but we’re not doing well at home.
Even with good resources, your home life is important..
