Assuming your wife can support all of you?



Or would you get bored and go to work anyway?

Yes and no.

My wife and I are currently looking to adopt three kids. Her job pays a lot more than mine (from a pure money perspective, not counting intangibles), so it would make more sense for me to stay at home with the kids than her.

Though if I did stay at home, I wouldn't be unemployed. My job has an online component and with the right company I could work virtually, so technically still work and be a stay-at-home parent. That would be a win-win for me. Spend times with my kids, work flexible hours without having to be stuck in a stuffy office, and still make the money.

Sure. By the look of it I won't work again anyway.

Neither.

I don't know how a stay at home parent could ever get bored. Like, even for a second.

Maybe yes. I already have a son and I'm willing to take care of him as long as I can do business at home also. Before I got a job, I planned of putting up a small business just few steps away from our house so that I can bond more with my child and manage my business as well. It was still a plan because I have a job now but if ever time comes that I really want to resign from my job, then I'll put up my business then and be a stay at home dad together with my young boy.

If I somehow previously made enough money to where I could afford to do it, then sure. But if you're financially dependent on your wife then she won't respect you and will end up cheating on you.

I love the kids etc. easy. They would do chores of some sort to give them rank, the more they do the more they have a say. If one kid wants something, he/she would have to honor the ranking system and if they do nothing and their desires are not met, too bad, you have no rank.

I've heard the opposite is true. That stay at home people are more likely to cheat.

Abso-fucking-lutely

I got a taste of this when my wife was in Switzerland for a week and a half, and I had to take care of our 4-year-old by myself. It was wonderful. I was able to get so much done while he was at school in the morning, then play with him all afternoon.

Sure. I'd love to not have to go into work.

I'm not sure I'd make a good parent though, and I probably wouldn't do much housework or anything. i'm lazy.

I would work on personal projects if this happened. I'd prefer it this way as working for yourself >>>>>>>>>>> working for other people.

But the reason to stay home would be to take care of the kids.
