any other women that thought about being the provider?

My daughter’s dad stayed home and took care of the house, cooked and cleaned and watched over our daughter while I worked, for the most part anyway. However, I breastfed and pumping milk so he could bottle feed was a hassle. Luckily I was able to work from home the first 13 years of her life so I could take breaks and breastfeed until she was weaned. He must be very dependable. My daughter’s dad had periods where he just checked out for 3 or 4 days which put a huge burden on me because we didn’t have anyone setup to help out. And quite frankly he didn’t understand our daughter’s needs like how to quiet her down to get a nap. I recommend finding someone who can step in when needed or when he needs a break. Also you need to consider the impact on his work history for when he returns to work. It can be difficult and not everyone is open to understanding what it means to be a stay at home parent.

It didn't happen as an arrangement but was an early wfh IT professional who raised twin boys while my ex-wife was working. My projects were long gestation and her's was regular income and we managed quite well with the policy that children should never get affected in anyway.

So all depends on your understanding.

If you go that route, be sure to write up a ‘female led relationship’ agreement. You can find various templates online. You’ll never have to cook another meal, do anymore laundry, scrub anymore bathrooms, etc… He’ll have to abide by your house rules and do as he’s told, OR ELSE. 😈

That is no longer an unusual arrangement, but both of you must be comfortable with the arrangement, and capable of the financial requirements to safely raise your child.

My cousin did it that way but it's just a formal thing. They have a family business and will work both anyway. But officially, her husband stays with the kid "at home".

I did the same with wife when we first got married, she had an 8 year old from a previous marriage, after we got married I stayed at home and took care of him and the house while my wife finished her career, after her boy was a teenager I went back to work, there's nothing wrong with this situation even though many see it bad, unfortunately now a days it takes both spouses working just to make ends meet unless one spouse has a very high paying job.

If that's the arrangement you think would work best... But i guess earning capacity must find into the equation at some point too

My Mrs was going to do that,go back to work,as she earned more,but the once at home,she didn't want to go back
