No, I don’t. This is based on the hundreds of previous postings you have made asking about everything from being a philosopher to a doctor to a truck driver to god only knows what else.

I don’t think you have the patience or personality to keep at anything for more than about 1 day. I wonder if you have the ability to concentrate on the hard work of being a house husband, caring for a child, and managing a household.

Perhaps if you carried through on something . anything for a year or so, my answer would be different. But based on what I have read of you over the last several years, you would be awful.

I don’t see you doing that.

What ^^ @elbanditoroso said you have to do something for every day (the same thing) for a year.

No – a house husband has responsibilities he has to be able to carry out and stick with as the others have said.

I sure hope not….Kids need more than hot dogs for nourishment.

@all thanks for the candid assessment.

Your diet alone would render child rearing a criminal enterprise.

Why do you keep asking strangers on an internet Q+A site what would I be good at?
Find an interest and go for it,whatever it is.
As for this question and how fast you go from one idea to the next no I don’t think you would be a good house husband, a working wife wouldn’t put up for long having to come home and cook and clean for you and whatever kids there may be.

This really is a rather troubling question. I’m hoping you’re having some tongue-in-cheek fun with us, But I would be interested in your take on you as a house husband. In fact your own answer to this question matters more to me than any and all other commentary combined.

Because he put “Humor” as one of the topics, I’m assuming this is tongue in cheek.

@RedDeerGuy1: Before you can become a House Husband, you have to become a husband.

Maybe shoot for being a kept man, rather than a husband or father.

First you need a wife, and to do so you need to get out.

There’s your answer.

Work on you bachelor skills, first.

By the way, everything go okay on your $121 on food? Made it without going hungry?

It would only cause additional stress, arguments and probably end up in you wanting to escape to your peace and quiet!

Was it just humour as I can see you commenting on this thread on the same lines

Sure. Why not. You’re smart, funny, and I have a feeling you would appreciate being in a relationship and having some companionship at home. Probably, you would be open to making healthier food if you had some guidance. You would have to keep up your end of the bargain and really be able to take on the domestic responsibilities. Now, all you have to do is find a woman who earns a decent income who will like the set up. Or, will getting married to a woman with a decent income mean you lose some of your social benefits from the government?

I’m assuming you are able to maintain a reasonably neat and organized household. Do the laundry, all the basic daily stuff.

I don’t think that I would phrase my response quite as strongly as @elbanditoroso… but I probably share his general antipathy to your desire to take on that role.

Being “a dad” is a full-time and lifetime commitment. Being “a husband” has a lot more leeway and room to maneuver – and you can bail on that if it comes to bailing time. However, the term “house-husband” – though not well defined – indicates to me someone who would at least “keep house” for a spouse, which might involve preparing meals as well as the housekeeping itself, and you’ve never indicated much of a proclivity in that regard.

quite frankly, no.
