NT as a predominately male board, how do you feel about being the sole provider for your wife and kids if you so choose that path?
Do you feel as if she should get out and work just as you do, or stay home and take care of the kids, cook, clean, etc.? I mean granted its nice to have two incomes but if you are in a position to be the sole provider for the family would you still encourage her to look for work?
Me personally if I'm in a position to where I can rely on my sole income to take care of everything I wouldn't pressure my wife into getting a job as long as she takes care of home. I was raised to be very domesticated so naturally I'd help around the house with chores and not have a problem with it. I wouldn't be able to stand just sitting around the house and watch her do everything even after working an 8 or 9 hour day. That's just me though.
NT, thoughts?
