@Brickdyingmason @UziCryptoo Good luck with that.

@UziCryptoo I will start a construction side business and use it as a school for teaching my children about the real world and how things work. Like none of the schools teach.

My friend and his wife have 3 kids He makes $80k working construction She makes $240k in sales She wants him to stay home with the kids because it’s cheaper than daycare But he wants to keep working and pay for daycare What would you do?

@juliefoxridge @UziCryptoo Why? Would you say there getting divorced if the incomes were reversed?

@UziCryptoo Mmmmm. They getting divorced. Unequally yoked. He better stay working.

@RichardMccrar20 @UziCryptoo And nobody batted an eye at it because she’s a woman. But you’ve got about 500 mouth breathers in the replies to this tweet tryna bend over backwards to explain why the situation just wouldn’t work out.

@UziCryptoo My son and his wife just had to make this choice. They both had great jobs, but his did pay significantly more. Fortunately, she really wanted to spend more time with our granddaughter, so they decided she would quit. Both she and our granddaughter are happier now.

@TheOnlyLisaRhea @UziCryptoo You could have stopped with “I’ve never met a man” Also, it sounds like he’s already relying on her to support him financially.

@UziCryptoo I've never met a man who is happy relying on their wife or girlfriend to support them financially. It would be the start of resentment and the end of the marriage in most cases.

@idahocountrydoc @UziCryptoo Bullshit. This is EXACTLY scenario in millions of marriages with the gender reversed and nobody bats an eye.

If she's making more than him, and is wanting to stay home because "it's cheaper than daycare", she doesn't respect him or what he does, and won't be with him for much longer most likely. Nothing against what he does or what he earns - good for him. But that type of marriage RARELY lasts because likely she's more focused on money than on family - and if that's true, she will eventually sacrifice family for more money... ie, a richer husband.

@DarkSkai_NUTS @UziCryptoo Her sales income is probably way more dependable than his construction income. It’s fucking embarrassing seeing all the lame excuses ya’ll are trying to come up with in this thread just to not have to spend time with your kids.

Sales, which means that $240k is probably not consistent so I wouldn't give up the job either, unless of course she's investing her income but that's a whole nother subject, anyway I'd appreciate the offer but I'd have to let my lady know that her success is variable so having a consistent $80k is a nice cushion in case she isn't able to make that 6 figure, that's not a dig on her talents it's about being realistic, I think this era is enough evidence to show that inflation can "inflate" to a point where resources can become unaffordable

@PosterShit83624 @Frausun @UziCryptoo Probably not in construction.

@Frausun @UziCryptoo And even if he's somehow in that magical place, its for about a year more (as Kid #1 is about to hit kindergarden), and if he drops out of the workforce, even in construction, it gets hard to get right back to an $80k job

@Frausun @UziCryptoo I’d fucking love to be a stay at home dad and most guys I know would too. It just doesn’t work career-wise (for the same reasons it doesn’t work for most women)

@UziCryptoo I've never met a man who ever wanted to be a stay at home Dad. I've met plenty of women who wanted to be stay at home moms. This is going to end in divorce.

@BornInTheU43614 @UziCryptoo Not the point. Also, what the hell is a mother’s morning out?

@UziCryptoo Depends on the age of the kids and quality of the daycare. By 3 yrs old they need to be in some sort of mothers morning out or pre-school or something. Otherwise they will start kindergarten behind the other kids.

@Manflo619 @imrightthough @UziCryptoo Pretty sure she’s finalize more respect for him if he’s a dumbass and doesn’t mar the obvious decision.

@imrightthough @UziCryptoo Just depends on the wife, you lose that respect when you’re no longer making money

@mbrech119 @UziCryptoo Wait, wait, wait… she makes TRIPLE what he does and your solution is that they save up for a year… so she can quit her job and stay home with the kids?? Like… wtf? 🤯

Not a good situation for him at all. If they are liberal, she's taking his manhood and he will have to live with it forever. They should work for a year and save every penny she earns - every penny. Live on his income. He does need to rise up in the company where he works or get a better job. Quit eating out . . period- no more. Start listening to Dave Ramsey and follow his program. He should be the breadwinner and they need to figure out how to make that happen. I'll bet they are in over their heads in debt, drive really nice cars, and go on expensive vacations .. might not be fixable.

@thetamoonshots @InnocentTr4769 @UziCryptoo In this scenario he’s clearing $0. It’s right there in the OP. You don’t get to just insert your own numbers because you don’t want to have to answer the actual question.

@ObiToddForever @UziCryptoo You hit the nail on the head there in the middle. The reason why it often doesn’t make sense for women (or men) to set their career aside to raise children is the difficulty of re-entry into the workforce. Like not an issue here.

Wait, this math ain't mathin'. How is daycare $80K per year? Are all 3 kids 4 and younger? Because at some point those kids will be going to school. I can probably justify the husband staying home a year or two, but that's it. Construction workers can normally get a job fairly easily. There are compromise options here.

@CashySwanson @UziCryptoo Nice plan. The best part is by the time you figure out how unrealistic it is you already taken care of your kids like you needed to in the first place.

@UziCryptoo Stay home and care for the kids while plotting my schemes to do some sort of remote/online business of some sort and overthrow the wife in income and then take care of the family and travel the world and etc etc etc etc

@tooosouthern @UziCryptoo “Not designed to” Because “trust me bro”

@UziCryptoo This is a good lesson in gender roles. Men are not designed to be the primary caregiver and women are not designed to be the load-bearing earner. It hurts people’s feelings and they never want to hear it but reality is a tough pill to swallow.

@YoloBologna @UziCryptoo My gut reaction was to say he should stay at his job because the kids are only in daycare for a few years and trying to restart his career would be too hard to make it worth it to stay home. But he works construction. I don’t see that being an issue. I’d tell him to stay home.

@UziCryptoo Over the last few decades feminism has told us that in this scenario but with the genders reversed, it is sexist and "problematic" to ask a women to stay home. So I am 100% certain all of the world's feminists will soon flood this thread defending a man's right to work.

@InevitableOwl @UziCryptoo I’m pretty sure it’s a hypothetical situation and you’re missing the point of the question.

He needs to find a very good reason why he’s not making more first. He either isn’t moving up into management or doesn’t have a highly skilled trade yet or he’s capped in his career. They should live on just his income for 6 months then she should transition to being home. If they want the 200-300k+ lifestyle he needs to move up, differentiate, or take some risk.

@idahocountrydoc @UziCryptoo What the hell are you talking about? Do you know what century it is?

@UziCryptoo Normally a good dad provides for the family, and a good mom nurtures the family. It is very hard on everyone on the family when that formula is mixed up into something else - it's very hard for the adults to respect each other, and the kids usually feel something is off.

@PrimeTimePats1 @jack_bfr May and Nix were 50/50 to me. Take your pick on that one. Let me see another season of Maye before I had a strong opinion either way.

@WIguyinMN @jack_bfr He’s not beating Maye out stop this

Teams that Caleb Williams would start on right now:

@RobtheSlob1029 @jack_bfr Just meant he could start over Purdy.

@WIguyinMN @jack_bfr 49ers have Joe Montana…
