This has been something I've been mulling about for several days. A friend of mine works, while her husband stays home.
The husband in question is currently taking a break from his studies and basically just stays home. He does help around the house, helps with the cooking, does the shopping, tries (and I put extra emphasis on the word 'try' here) hard to help his wife. Their's is a good marriage. 5 years courtship and 2 years of marriage. No children. The husband does make some money off by leasing some property, so financially they are both stable.
So I've been asking around, asking family members, friends what they think of 'househusbands'. Is it still a taboo subject? Are people warming up to the idea of staying-at-home dads? What do you think?
And I can't believe Nahula is going to sue that guy and make him pay Rf100,000 to Rf 500,000 when she herself would be the first one sued for plagiarizing all those hindi songs. Big fat hypocrite!

I'v known a couple of househusbands,and I think its one of the toughest jobs, especially when kids are involved and with all the criticism and the looking down the nose thing..
i have to say all of these househusbands were doing a really good job of raising their kids..
Hail all househusbands! Respect!
nahula is sueing someone? for what? whats the story behind that?
I thinks its great... Fathers should stick around their homes more, atleast...
Totally on the same page as shanu on this one :)

@shanu, thom Glad we all agree. But then everytime I ask this question to my guy friends. They starts shifting from one leg to the next and nervously agrees with me.
@kaiza shozey yea check haveeru. She actually quite distraught by the incident
@bulhaa thanx for the links. Pretty funny stuff too :P
hey, you on board for a blogger coffee?
:)
u got my mail tha?
no new posts? u been to visit ur cuz at the island yet?
Halp! The sugar overload just hit home!.
...
I'm off to the streets, to sing the waka laka song out loud!
home stay hubby how absurd ... i cant think more preposterous than that...~ a rich friend of mine~
i think its cool that hubby's get to stay home...
i have no idea why she should be suing him considering we dont have a copyright law here
@andhu she actually made an agreement and made him sign it before handing him the original dvd. But still i find it very hypocritical of her
Can't really say it's a taboo topic these days. I think most husbands who work still do help out about the house and raising kids.
Am waiting for the day when Nahula and all these other idiotic local directors and producers get their pants sued off for pliagarizing Hindi crap.
Meh, I think we should purge the "hindhi culture" and stick to the tried and true Maldivian skits...
Yeah, theres gonna be a bunch of idiots who disagree with that. See, I happen to have got this shipment of Zyklon-B and... (insert inane, deranged and somewhat lulzy genocide policy here). XD
@Azmyst: Lol, someone ripped off your works and rapidhared them?.
Does the househusband get a mini skirt maid as an assistant?
*agrees with bulhaa* i think the youth is getting warmed up to this idea of house hubbies. but it's still more of taboo to our grannies and grandpas. they expect the man to be working and the wife to be just looking after the kids and home. i don't see what's wrong with the man staying home while the wife works.
househusbands eh,,i dun think anythins rong or taboo abt it :s..as long as both of 'em has no problm wit it,y shud it bothr d society? although yea, here in maldives NoThing escapes the big fat mouth of d corrupt society. hmp!
n d whole 'yoosuf' issue is plain fishy!
@de Irresistible: No but he's welcome to try on a maid costume
@penny: Will said costume be skimpy?.
If maid_suitvar=skimpy;TRUE, then epic win is thine.
paperclippenny, don't bore yourself, every girl need a man who can handle them... its biology! so stop fighting your chemistry!
anyways house-hubby sounds so gay!
@de Irresistible: Every girl would need need a man same as every red-blooded heterosexual man would need a woman as well. But people don't need someone to "handle" them.
Not all girls need financial support from their husbands. Some women in fact make more money than their husbands. :)
As for househusbands sounding gay, well... you're not the one married to them so i guess it doesn't really matter whether you or others think it's "gay" or not.
i respect!
take care...
