I want to stay Home!
After all, I served in the Navy for 20 Years, Combat duty in Gulf War 1 now Disabled Veteran, Retired and worked 35 Years in Retail Management.
YEP! Love being home, watering the grass, trimming the Trees, Playing Golf, and being on Soda Head. And the Best Part is that I don't have to work Sundays any more and i am free for Church and that alone is more important to me than anything else.
**************** Dang ! I love Retirement *************
But Thanks to Obama, I have less money to spend and now Gas is $4.15 a Gallon here in California. Guess you know who I am Not going to vote for in November.

Gender roles aren't quite what they used to be. In the last 100 years, women in America have earned the right to vote and made significant progress toward financial equality. Women are free to pursue their own careers, or stay at home if they choose. Likewise, it's becoming more socially acceptable for men to stay at home. But does that actually reflect what the respective genders want out of life? We asked more than 500 people if they would rather work or stay at home.
The results were split down the middle, with 51% of voters preferring to work and 49% preferring to stay at home. We should point out right off the bat that "staying at home" does not mean "relaxing at home." The Top Opinion read, "Staying at home is work!" Of course, each person will interpret "staying at home" differently. The most common interpretation was raising the kids, while some took it to mean simply working from home.
Women Don't Want to Stay at Home
No matter how you interpret the options, one thing is clear: women are less likely than men to want to stay at home. Many respondents suggested that women are natural care-givers, but the majority of female voters would rather go to work, often saying they'd go crazy staying home all day. Men were actually 10% more likely to desire staying at home.

We were a little bit surprised to find that teens were actually most eager to go to work. By a lot. Some respondents did take "staying at home" to mean "doing nothing," but very few of them were teens. The 35-44 age group was least interested in going to work, probably opting to work from home after years of working in an office next to that guy who doesn't cover his mouth when he sneezes.

On a similar note, unemployed voters were more likely to say they want to work than voters who are fully or partially employed, suggesting it's not for lack of motivation that people are out of the job. Full-time employees would rather stay at home. Again, this is probably due to office burn-out.

Women seem to think men do not appreciate what women do around the house and the house hold responsibilities.
Of course many men do not, as they think it is "even steven" and if they can go out and work all day and be away from the home and all that their work entails they certainly do not want to be told their work is less important than the work around the house and told the house hold work is more difficult than the job they go to 6 days a week 10 hours a day making money to support the household...if that be the case.
The smart man will always compliment his wife or woman on the great job she does and her efforts need to be noticed and rewarded often.
On the other hand..it seems that many women are simply not geared for household life style ..but they certainly thought it was OK when they agreed to stay at home and raise the kids while the man went out and found the money...in the beginning...but later they are all frustrated and maybe even angry at their self inflicted life trapped in the house and house hold chores.
It is not easy for both parties...but most couples work it out and accept that either way it is far from perfect or suitable for both parties.
Also, interestingly enough, people who work from home are found to be MORE productive then people who go into work.
That surprises me not at all, considering a majority of the employees at most of the jobs I've worked at were more concerned with their internal social standings and hanging out/sexing each other up than their jobs. Maybe it's because I've usually been management but I don't make friends with people I work with. Too much drama.
A house wife (or house husband) is maid, cook, taxi service, nurse, bankbook balancer, coupon clipper, and then when the spouse comes home we are also servant, friendly ear to listen about your day and sex doll - how is that NOT providing for their families?
