you are not the only one - my "lo" and couples of his friends are the full time daddy. As nowadays, woman is more easy to get a job.. so if the couple could compromise for the "duty", it does not matter who is the one making $$ and who is the one doing the housework.
however, I have to admit there is a lot of pressure from the others - especially both parent, like my mom and my MIL, keep telling me to persuade my "lo" to go to out work. i said why bother, if he is happy with what he is doing now, so why change...
so you "add gas" - you have the supporter - ME!!! to back you up.
You are not the only full time Dad. My husband enjoys to be a full time dad. He is very busy every day. He takes the kids to school and back to home. He teaches kids to do homework and plays with them. He of course has pressure from the relatives. It is quite hard to change the chinese traditional moral standard. Anyway, I told him to enjoy this period of time. The kids need you. You are only free for a few years in your whole life. Time flies so fast. When you get old, the kids will remember that you are always with them. It is worth to do it. You are not alone. Enjoy you time.
i think it all depends on how you explain the case to your children. It may be the chance to tell him/her about how the true comercial society work.
why we have to state woman have to play the mom's role, and man to be the daddy's role. it is time to tell the children there is no definitely role play - every one is equal - they could do the job if they have the capability. Why the reception have to be the lady - why mommy should stay home to do the house work.
so what if both parent go to work and only the maid take the kid to school.
my english is no good, and my pc does not have chinese, not sure how to express my feeling.
just like one of the mom ask how the other feel if the dad help to take bath for the girl at older age... why no such question being raise when mom helping the boy for the bath? it still embarrass, right?
start changing how the people look at things when the kid still young, explain to them what is the reason behind, so that they will know what to be when they get old.
do you agree man should not help in doing the housework? in my mom's generation, man is playing the role to go out to work and not allow to do things in the kitchen... in my generation - this concept got change...
so may be in the next generation, our kid won't see anything wrong for mom taking daddy's role and vice versa...
