There was a time when a ‘family’ was defined as the stay at home mom, the working dad. A time when a woman had one responsibility. To take care of her family and make sure that her husband felt like a king. To look good, cook well, clean to perfection, and take on the burdens of raising those perfectly coiffed, well behaved children. Blame it on women’s lib or that women got sick of making sure that the husband was first and she was last, but times have definitely changed. Moms are raising kids on their own, holding down higher powered careers than their husbands, and demanding the respect they deserve. I do respect SAHM and here are my expectations. 1. Relatively clean, fed, well-adjusted kids. The real goal of staying home with your children is to provide them a first-class upbringing. So it makes sense to expect at least some results in the child rearing department. 2. At least some attempt to get cleaned and dressed. My thought is this: if I have to shave everyday (and I HATE shaving), you can at least comb your hair and put on something that wouldn't double for painting clothes. 3. An attempt to stay up on the laundry, dishes and general maintenance of the household.
I am a father of 4+ Yrs kid and might be able to answer to your question. To answer to the question, my expectations are too short from my wife: 1. Wake up Spritually and Lead family. 2. Train the kids like her mother gives her love and supports. 3. Discuss everything about kid day to day actions/activities in school/any type of classes (if any) 4. Settling the kids to bed is father & mother job too. 5. Plan & Execute with care family related issues. 6. Discuss with husband in detail about the day. 7. As a father & husband, respect & love wife for successfully completing the day :) Hope this answer, help to understand about the expectation of a husband.
