No. As long as your not just sitting on your ass.

i dont want to be a house husband but things have turned out that way. and let me tell you it sucks, makes me feel like less of a man for not being in the traditional role of what a father and husband should be.

Not at all. I think I'd rather enjoy being one.

No. The key phrase is "wanting to be" which implies CHOICE. The role of taking care of a house .. (and maybe we need more word choices than houseWIFE and houseHUSBAND) .. is a necessary and honorable one. What varies around the world isn't the role itself, but what gender stereotypes we have about who's supposed to do it. There are many households where the historical "couple" survives with one holding down the house and the other is "out in the world" is no longer the model. Often both are doing both! Or it's flipped as this question is getting to. Or there are other extended family members who are also taking on part of the "household" roles. So I think we need to enlarge out thinking about what all this is, just as we've had to re-define what "a family" is. Might have 8 people living in a household, for example, and three generations. lol And full circle back. If someone wants to be a "house husband", I'd celebrate and support the person .. just as I would if they had just shared they wanted to be a teacher or a garage mechanic. Found a calling and want to go for it? GREAT. :)

None at all if it is a viable choice and your partner is making enough money for you to live without having to worry about money. I feel that partners should compliment each other , some are better at one thing and the other in others.. If you are happier in the home and your partner happier working that is a perfect arrangement.

No, I say this because he is much cleaner and more motivated to do housework than I am so I'm kind of counting on it. :)
-
No, not at all...but be prepared to work hard.
-
I don't think so. It's alot of work though, I know my wife works WAY harder than I do.
-
Not at all. In fact anyone that says there is something wrong with being a house husband is insulting the contribution that house wives put forth.
-
actually the word is "house manager" yes, gender neutral. there is nothing dishonorable with organizing and taking care of ones house, this is indeed a lot of work and in time will be seen as another job that should include health insurance and pay.

Not at all...and this is coming from a "House Husband" The wife does not like house work so she makes the bacon and I take care of the house, cook and raise one remaining child and 2 grandchildren and wouldnt trade it for the world.
