why do u want her not to work?
Cause I'm gonna be the breadwinner. Her job is going to be to take care of the house and children. This is biologically the way its meant to be. I don't want my child being raised by a babysitter or a neighbor or by a teacher at school. She will nurture our children, and have them by her side at all times. Children learn by imitating adults, not by stupid fisher price toys or educational thingamajigs. When I come home from work, she'll have food ready in a nice clean house. She'll have plenty of time during the day to tend to herself and the kids. She'll exercise, watch the news, read books, learn about the world, take care of bills, paperwork, and basically maintain the homefront. I will provide absolutely anything she could possibly want and need and I'll show her how invaluable she is to my life. It'll be perfect.

why would u want to control ur wife's desire to work? ppl work when they are pregnant & take a leave of absence.
and they have day care centers in most offices if u already have kids. work is very important. it makes one feel more productive.
plus raising a child wont be tampered with. u'll still be a family no matter what.

1. I thought you were female before. No, im not trying to be insulting at all. Unless you still are female. but are a lesbian with high hopes of gay marriage.. >_>;
2. I agree with you like 100%. I will also do chores around the house whenever possible, and always help her when she asks for it.
I dont think ALL women should do this by the way, this is just what I want for my family. I couldnt care less what the rest of you guys/girls want, so dont trip :)

Shut yer trap, feminazi! This is the truth. How does that life not sound appealing? What is the downside of that life? It's full of enough activity to keep her busy. It's full of enough downtime to keep her relaxed and in stress free shape. You think I want my wife going into the work world where she'd have to suffer the almost insurmountable stress that I do? Do you think I want her to have to deal with crazy bosses, inflated egos, not enough sick days, etc? No! She's my queen and should be treated that way.... as long as she takes care of herself, me, and our children.

This is exactly how I feel. Im not having her not work as some kind of punishment. Id rather the woman not deal with all that nonsense. She should be more free from stress, so that she can look after the kids and family better.

Because the lines between academic intelligence and sensibility are blurred in desi land. If she has a degree, it means she's going to be able to run a house, have maturity, and be able to communicate with her spouse intelligently. Of course, this is all false.

guys like you with your monster penis' think you know what's right for us, but you couldn't be more wrong. some of us get a sense of accomplishment from going out and making something out of ourselves. if you want some dumb bitch who's going be content sitting at home, gussying herself up, and waiting for you to come home so you can ram her six ways from sunday, then that's you perogative, but good luck getting anything meaningful out of that relationship.

She's defined as staying at home because that's where the children are or will be by mid-afternoon. Look at mothers in the wild. Most mammalian offspring never venture far from their mothers. They might socialize with other offspring in the group, and may hang around the territorial father protecting the group, but they always stay close to their mother. Sending an impressionable child off to school, away from mother, is blatantly unnatural so.. Why do this any more than our society makes us?

reread the last line of my post: "Of course, this is all false"
The older generation of women in my family didn't go to school beyond 3rd grade and they raised healthy, intelligent children. It doesn't take a degree to understand and carry through the bonds of marriage and family.

having the mother stay at home is no guarantee of a healthy family life. There's just as a good a chance that the oppressed matriarch will end up becoming a wine guzzling alocholic due to her dreams being crushed by a giant turd that it took 9 months to push out. It'll probably be better that I don't stay home anyway because I'm definitely going to beat my kids.
Plus, I think my dream of being a pornstar will more than make up for not being at home when my kids become teenagers and get to hang out with all my pornstar friends.

okay so marriage is down the line for u, like way down. u wanna set urself up first, but when u get married, u dont want ur hubby mooching off u. he has to earn his own? and what do u do with ur money? sit on it? while ur hubby pays for everything? yet when u have the kids, u wanna continue "mooching" off ur hubby? so u become a doctor, work ur ass on getting grad school done with, to later just stay at home and take care of the kids? how long do u plan no working before u see urself "set" financially?

Ok! so lets answer ur questions, first off by down the line i mean after i finish my education which will probabaly be a masters in something, and if i decide to go to med school or for further education im not going to make my husband pay for it theres things such as financial aid and government loans and grants, and im still contemplating wheather i want to go to med school or not, its too much work,becoming a doctor is not for everyone, and the term "financially set" is different for everyone, its not like i wanna buy a house or something honestly i just want money to donate to charity and start a non profit organization or whatever, and during the first couple of yrs of marriage ill work, but when i have children i want to take care of them especially during infancy, and i want my husband to understand that and provide for his wife and kids, and no i do not want him mooching off of me, if im not working how can he mooch off of me? thats the thing i dont want my man getting used to me working , so basically i wanna be educated i want to work but when i have kids i want to take a few yrs off until my children are ready for preschool or kindergarten, and i want a husband who shares my views and who is not a sissy and gives his wife and kids a good life

wow you are exactly whats wrong with desi society today..for that matter any society.
I'm going to have to agree, have your wife stay at home is not the only solution to ensuring you children grow up well. My question is why is it the guy's decision for the woman to stay at home? My mom's the bread winner in my family, so it was my father that took the back seat and stayed home. But more importantly, a lot of women don't want to stay home and be a house wife, putting them into that position, drives them into depression, with the result being that they either leave, have affairs, commit suicide, or continuous fight between spouses that scar a child for life. Yes, you have to factor your duties to your children but if you take the leftist desis point of view, your children will suffer anyways. There's nothing wrong with childcare as long as the people taking care of your children are good to them. In addition, there's the additional option of of living close by the relatives, provided you can stand living so close to them (any :) Everybody Loves Raymond fans?). My point is that you and future wife/husband have option so discuss them. Just because your the guy doesn't mean anything, if your wife makes twice as much as you, guess what? You're probably going to be losing the argument anyways and more likely to be sitting at home with applesauce on your face. My personal view is I'd want my wish to work, honestly because I think she's want some more fulfillment in her life than just kids and running the house. Besides, it's healthy for your relationship if your the type that works alot, you don't want her feeling neglected. Just remeber to bring home flowers and cook dinner once in awhile to make up for your time way :) otherwise it's a another cold night on the couch. :p

If your husband's a greedy bastard then you can do either three things...kick him out of the house, withhold money from him (might motivate him to work harder), or withhold sex..just make sure your husband doesn't look as good or better than you :p....he'll cave one way or another and if that doesn't work knee him in the nuts...sure that'll make him think twice :p
I can undertsand you worring about your children and it really does depend on the person. Growing up for me, my mom had 3 jobs and my father had two so my folks weren't around alot but my folks spent more time teaching us how to be independent, teaching what to do in an emergency, what to do and take whn your sick, cooking (made awesome mocha pancakes :) when I was 6), etc. All I'm saying is that desis really do need to get witht he times and adopt some medern perspectives

i cant kick my husband out of the house, my kids need a father lol, and withholding sex, does that work? and i kinda so want a husband that looks atleast as good as me, i want my children to be good looking. . wow ur parents really worked hard but ur children can be independent even while ur with them i started making eggs and tea at the age of 7, all im saying is that its not feesible to leave an infant with someone they r so vulnerable and that is the time that they need their mothers the most, and u know what else very important? A woman should always marry a man who makes as much as or more money than her, and the guy should be as much as or more educated than the woman, like u cant have a Ph.D and then marry someone who has only completed high school, this creates conflicts, theres just sooo much that goes into account when you're looking to tie the knot *sigh*

No if a woman feels stifled and she looks at the guy and feels like she could have done better, and the guy feels like hes shit compared to her thats what leads to divorces,i mean ur wife might divorce u for the backhand u give her upon her refusal of sex, and newsflash everyone has unwritten relationship rules . . .

true, but you're going based upon factors that change easily - If a main is gainfully employed at the time of marriage, but then the company he's working for belly ups and he's delivering pizzas in the meantime, do you dump him?
if a woman looks at a man and feels like she could have done better, she should off herself for agreeing to a marriage before she was ready to accept what a marriage truly is.

I person agree a woman should marry a guy that makes as much or more money than her just for the fact that it shows he's driven and what to move up more. But, don't you think you'd know what kind of person you're marrying before you tie the knot (though I understand that it doesn't always happen). As for withholding sex, it works on some and it doesn't on other, some will give you the back hand and others will try to work thing out. It really depends on the person. From a guys perspective, my fear is that of the woman getting to comfortable at home, I can understand her not wanting to work but there's going to be a point a which the kids can be on their own and I want her to want to work. Furthermore, from an employment prespective, companies don't like seeing large gaps of unemployement, generally the longer your away from work the hard it will be to get back into the job market.

Perhaps you should present your ideas in that format then. Encourage people to be sure that they're marrying someone that has the same financial mindset.
There would be nothing wrong IMO if a successful woman married a man who made half her income. They would both contribute a fair share to common expenses but obviously she would have more disposable income going into her personal account. A difference in income doesn't make two people incompatible as your previous comments suggested.

actually a difference in income with the woman making more would make some men feel inferior, and her disposable income thats going into her bank account will make her feel superior and if shes a sucessful business woman she will do something useful with that money like invest in stocks and buy real estate she will increase her money, and its just weird, she'll have stocks and property and what will the guy have?

my co worker who sits a cubicle across my office is out of office. He's gone to china to bring back his 15 month old son who's been living with the grand parents.
they couldnt find an appropriate day care for the child so they sent him back to china to live with the grandparents when he was 8. now they are bringing him back cause he's beginning to recognise and speak.
both my co worker and his wife were unwilling to take time out for the child after he was born. they only talk to their child via phone at the moment.

wow, you'd wanna go back to work that fast? i'm gonna need some time to get back into shape (im not heidi klum) and breast feeding is gonna take time.

my co worker who sits a cubicle across my office is out of office. He's gone to china to bring back his 15 month old son who's been living with the grand parents.
they couldnt find an appropriate day care for the child so they sent him back to china to live with the grandparents when he was 8. now they are bringing him back cause he's beginning to recognise and speak.
both my co worker and his wife were unwilling to take time out for the child after he was born. they only talk to their child via phone at the moment.
Thats awful

If you relegate child-rearing to your moms...you're ultimately deferring motherhood...which means your daughter is going to dump her kids on you when you become an old foogie....karma of sorts?
im not gonna dump my kids on my mom or my in-laws but i'd want them to teach them certain things because they know things that we still won't...more wisdom. i, personally, wouldnt mind doing the same for my grandchildren when the time comes.

during halloween his son didnt come, apparently he was here last year and so everyone kept asking where he was and it was rather hard to see the look on the guy's face.

actually a difference in income with the woman making more would make some men feel inferior, and her disposable income thats going into her bank account will make her feel superior and if shes a sucessful business woman she will do something useful with that money like invest in stocks and buy real estate she will increase her money, and its just weird, she'll have stocks and property and what will the guy have?

he calls us primitive and backwards. of course, you probably chose to be an ass to me cuz the other guy is more popular/well known than me.
Im sorry, self loathing desis always piss me off.
I find it funny you hate seem hate the Brits and the Canadians, yet you behave just like them. Except in this case, your views set limits on our race, mine seek to remove those limits entire. I never said anything insuted your family or call you primitive, but the fact, the concept of a woman making more than a man is new to you shows that is proving my point. As for being your family's dream come true, your more like to be the oppressor, that tends to disagree with everyone but your self, because your never wrong right? That is what makes you primitive and backwards. You forget as well, I'm not trying to force my views on anyone, honestly you really can't, people have this little thing we call choice, and that allows them to make their own decision. Personally, I don't really have a construct of what it is to be desi, but it as though you do and well don't you think you might want to examine them just a bit? I made the point (yeah it's geeky, but the guys a computer geek anyways) if you can update your virus definition, its can't hurt your updating your points of view.

Yeah I know it does but what I mean is, I don't want to sit around home all day breast feeding, cooking, cleaning and all that jazz when I could be up and active. Cause to me, thats important. My babies are more important yes, and I will always come home to them. Cause once you leave work to take care of the kiddos, it gets hard to go back to work. I'll just use the breast pump and leave 10 bottles for my sus. lol

Oh, speaking of.......
It also causes involution of the uterus, so your body gets back in shape faster.
It fosters the mother-baby bond, which is beneficial to mother and baby alike.
Mother milk also boosts babys immune system, and decreases the baby's chances of developing asthma, gastrointestinal problems.

Yeah I agree, we say all this now and we end up doing the complete opposite when the time comes. I guess it takes one to know one? I have also seen my cousins go through this and they are housewives, mommys and they would do anything to go back to work! I want to be a career woman and I will be but I know I can find time to do both with some help. I mean our parents didn't read books or anything to raise us. lol My mom was laughing when I told her that my bf said he will do a lot of reading before the baby is born so that he can become the perfect dad.

Cause I'm gonna be the breadwinner. Her job is going to be to take care of the house and children. This is biologically the way its meant to be. I don't want my child being raised by a babysitter or a neighbor or by a teacher at school. She will nurture our children, and have them by her side at all times. Children learn by imitating adults, not by stupid fisher price toys or educational thingamajigs. When I come home from work, she'll have food ready in a nice clean house. She'll have plenty of time during the day to tend to herself and the kids. She'll exercise, watch the news, read books, learn about the world, take care of bills, paperwork, and basically maintain the homefront. I will provide absolutely anything she could possibly want and need and I'll show her how invaluable she is to my life. It'll be perfect.
some chick would have to be a major dumbass to be some career driven power on the go mom. i dont want to work after marriage hopefully i wont have to. i dont mind cooking and cleaning and looking after my kids especially in this society. duh thats what our parents did before we all landed here. im not into working after marriage i think it should be more of a domestic life, i mean its a guys job to provide for the family and the girls job to handle the house. wats wrong with that im up for it. and yea i hope women always get paid less than a guy so i can have more money to spend rather it going to some gori career dyke

I I'm sorry to tell you but the desis girls around her seem to be embracing a more progressive stance. Guys having view like your is probably one of the reason why more desis girls are pursuing interracial relationships, which is cool as well
I dont care what they do. They can date 20 black guys, 20 indians, 20 white guys, 20 mexicans all at once. I dont mind interracial relationships/marriages.
And look at how you call yourself "modern" and not just "different".
You use modern as if it is somehow better to desi culture. You ARE brainwashed.

If I have children, I want to be a stay-at-home-mom.. I've decided on this a long time ago, just based on my observation of being a child of two working parents. If we REALLY need the extra income, I would probably set up a private practice in a walk-in basement or first floor of our house and only provide treatment and evaluations for 5-10 clients at the most.

Well if u have most parents like most desis do then im sure ur kids grandma or grandpa wont mind babysitting while u and ur wife works.For the most part my grandma raised me because my dad was an airline pilot while my mom was a bank executive.I was actually more upset when my grandma died compared to my dad because she used to look after me since i was born until the time she died.

man, we need more progressive thinkers like you on RD. I've been reading your posts and wow! i mean most of the people on this site are stupid..and there are the intelligent "verbose" posters -but even some of the intelligent ones are NOT as open-minded and culturally open to new perspectives as you are. man, how come you haven't been posting more?
oh yeah, the guy your replying to...hates whites/jews too.
Even if I allegedly DO hate white/jews, how does that alter anything I said in this thread?
You really are retarded.

Wow, it's so nice having a fan on these boards :)

whatever makes her happy. i plan on being a doctor (like most desis) so if she wants to work to achieve personal goals than thats cool, if she wants to stay at home and hang out with her stay-at-home friends than thats cool too. actually if she stays at home she would probably stay better looking cause she wont be stressed out.. but that could work inversly as well.. you don't go out so u don't maintain yourself.

Cause I'm gonna be the breadwinner. Her job is going to be to take care of the house and children. This is biologically the way its meant to be. I don't want my child being raised by a babysitter or a neighbor or by a teacher at school. She will nurture our children, and have them by her side at all times. Children learn by imitating adults, not by stupid fisher price toys or educational thingamajigs. When I come home from work, she'll have food ready in a nice clean house. She'll have plenty of time during the day to tend to herself and the kids. She'll exercise, watch the news, read books, learn about the world, take care of bills, paperwork, and basically maintain the homefront. I will provide absolutely anything she could possibly want and need and I'll show her how invaluable she is to my life. It'll be perfect.
I'm a girl and I agree wholeheartedly with this. In an ideal world, it would be the perfect way to raise a family.
North American families these days...you have parents too busy to spend time with their kids, people pop pills like candy for depression, etc., etc...there isn't any cohesion in the family circuit at all.
I would still like to have a career, maybe I would write a bit on the side, do something part time, but if I have kids, I'm going to damn well make sure I'm doing a good job raising them. That doesn't mean my husband will be a bystander, both parents will obviously be hands on, but I want to be that kind of full time mother.
Also, I rarely do this, but I commend these lads for having that point of view. Most men these days want a woman who can cook, manage a household, AND bring in the dough. That neither shows respect for her nor for their family. Kudos, boys.

Agreed:)
my bird already works.
Personally I don't have a problem with it. As far as raising kids goes it's not only upto women it's both mine and her responsiblity and ofcourse there should be some time (and QUALITY TIME ) that we both can spend togather.

To be honest with you, id prefer my wife to work, personally I just think sitting at home and doing repetitive tasks all day, and day after day can be considerably boring and very unsocial, besides one can only do this for so long before going nuts. With regards to kids, most desi families have grandparents who would love to tend to the kids during the day if both husband and wife are at work, if this don’t work for you, then I am sure its still possible to have kids and both work, many people around the world do this successfully, its no big deal.
Also, some folks have said here that they would work their ass off as much as possible to tend to their partner who has opted to stay at home, this wouldn’t work for me, I just feel that this could raise the pressure and workload to a level where eventually you would argue at home, and or bring work home, its not right and can only go on for some time before you crack. The idea of both partners working means sharing the workload, and if you can do that with work, then running a house when you get back aint such a difficult task.
Id like my wife to have her own views and goals, id be marrying my partner for the rest of our lives, the last thing id want to do is lock them up in a box, and lock them away from outside contacts and social activities, it sucks.
And for those of you who want all that nonsense about coming home to a clean house with food on the table, that don’t work for me either, I mean im sure both husband and wife would be capable of staying in a clean environment, except maybe on the odd days where I am sure the mess would speak for itself :) and with regards to cooking the food, I think id like to cook food together and have some fun at the same time, make use of our time, it can be considerably fun, you’d miss that opportunity if you only ever came home when the meal was ready on the table.
Lol what makes me laugh the most is that if you’re the type of guy or girl who prefers their partner to stay at home and raise the kids, then if your kids end up messed up, your most likely gonna blame the partner who stayed at home to tend to them, lol where in reality, staying at home and tending to the kids continuously day after day offers no guarantee what so ever that your kids would be brought up right in the first place, it actually just sounds more like insecurity.

Well, not really. I would like it that she's home when I'm home so that we get to spend time together.
