Homemaker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The term homemaker is used in preference to either housewife or househusband (a tautology because "house" is derived from one of the Germanic elements of "husband") because it is inclusive, defines the role in terms of activities, rather than relation to another, and is independent of marital status. Househusbands or Stay at home dads are seen in increasing numbers in Western culture, since the late 20th century. In the case of some househusbands, once the wife comes home from work, she often assumes a nurturing and caregiving role with the children. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Homemaker   (1525 words)

Bookreporter.com Contest: Dream Househusband Contest The perfect househusband for me would be one who would have the house clean when I come home and would also cook and do the dishes.

My dream househusband would be just that, a dream that would make me feel wonderful at all times and would forever be by my side. www.bookreporter.com /community/contests/020419-hudler.asp   (4057 words)

Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | The truth about life as a househusband I know about eight other househusbands, although, to be pedantic about it, most of them are part-timers, splitting the domestic stuff with their partners. The actual work of househusbanding may only take five hours a day but those five hours are smeared across the 13 hours that Jack is awake in a wholly unpredictable manner. A recent conversation with a full-time-turned-part-time househusband friend of mine flushed out the fact that he felt "demasculinised", as he put it, by the whole thing; leaving the wage-earning role to his wife had left him mildly unsettled. www.guardian.co.uk /g2/story/0,3604,1601209,00.html   (1557 words)

Reverse Gold Digging? The househusband gains because he gets to spend time with his children and is able to work in a relaxed atmosphere. A househusband must have certain skills that he can offer a female in exchange for the salary that she makes. I discovered that around the same percent felt as though househusbands were respectable but they had different views on the skills that males should have to be househusbands. opus1journal.org /others/awardpapers/scott/scott.html   (4199 words)

hackwriters.com - This househusband hat is a very strange shape indeed, stranger even than how it came to be on this head. In America, where the ‘househusband’ is more common, ever-growing numbers of men, approaching 2 million according to some sources, have chosen to stay at home and look after the kids. The special ‘househusband’ magazines and websites are fat with the thousands of words of advice and support, recipes and reviews by the tens of thousands of househusbands, isolated and not part of a nattering knot, but trying hard to be. www.hackwriters.com /Househusband.htm   (1050 words)

Heather Armstrong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia She wrote that she was shocked by the intensity of her readers' reactions. In 2005, Armstrong wrote that the revenue from the advertisements would be her family's principal source of income while her husband made the transition to a househusband and Stay At Home Dad. Armstrong was not the first blogger to support herself entirely through her writing; in 2005, Jason Kottke raised over $39,000 through the micropatronage of his readers. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dooce   (385 words)

Tomato Nation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01) The ideal househusband possesses finely-tuned hearing, and can distinguish between the "oh, for chrissake" that only means I can’t find my left sock and the more dire "oh, for chrissake" that means I have just jammed a fork into the coils of the toaster oven, or ignited the sleeve of my cardigan mid-stir-fry. The ideal househusband’s ear will hear the telltale creak that indicates the imminent collapse of an overloaded shelf in the closet, a shelf beneath which I have positioned myself sans protective headgear with the intent of storing one last hardcover book. Admittedly, serving as my househusband doesn’t seem like the greatest deal in the world, but really, he doesn’t have to do that much - assassinate the occasional yucky bug, prevent me from getting a concussion while doing housework, that kind of thing. www.tomatonation.com /househub.shtml   (383 words)

ASUC   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01) While ''strategic'' househusbands serve families, there must be a ''big portion of passive househusbands as well,'' he said. Also, 64 percent of the men said they would accept househusband status if one of the couple needs to stay home for family care, while 51 percent of the women would accept their future husband being a househusband if necessary. That's all it's about.'' He added that househusbands are much more common in the United States, where the birthrate exceeds 2.0, although equal opportunity for women has more to do with the high birthrate than the number of househusbands does. www.uominicasalinghi.it /index.asp?pg=2690   (1437 words)

BBC - h2g2 - How to be an Effective Househusband - A2848421 If househusbands, and the rest of society, take a close look at the work that they do, they will see that it is in fact one of the important roles that they can undertake. The most difficult thing for househusbands to get used to is the social isolation that goes with their new role. When a man becomes a househusband, the day starts early and, in most cases, far more frantically than it did when he was in paid employment. www.bbc.co.uk /dna/h2g2/classic/A2848421   (1949 words)

Bookreporter.com - HOUSEHUSBAND by Ad Hudler In HOUSEHUSBAND, first time novelist Ad Hudler has created in Linc Menner a character who is both irritating and lovable at every turn of the page. In HOUSEHUSBAND, it is Linc who feels under-appreciated and misunderstood by his wife --- and society in general --- as he manages every little nuance of the household, and it is Jo who feels unnoticed by their daughter, who has become accustomed to going to daddy for her every need. Carol Menner is also the one to remind her son to relax with his duties as a househusband and to enjoy his daughter more, not to think of her as just another job. www.bookreporter.com /reviews/0345451260.asp   (630 words)

Last check: 2007-10-01) The premise of Ad Hudler's first novel, Househusband, is as simple as the book's title: narrator Linc Menner tells us all about adjusting to life as the primary caregiver to his 3-year-old daughter Violet. Lincoln (named after the car in his out-of-touch father's dealership) makes gentle suggestions for misbehaving children (Violet is spoiled, but she's mannerly about it), business affairs for the spousal unit, as well as dealing with a charmingly/alarmingly runaway mama of his own. But, despite the well-written prose, the situation is unchanged for most of the book: Linc is unhappy as a househusband despite the rewards, yet he's trapped. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0345451260?v=glance   (1518 words)
