I think it is admirable that you want to be a househusband家庭主夫 — a husband who keeps the house and a stay-at-home father but if you really want to submit to your wife, you will allow her to make the decision and you will support her decision by doing whatever it takes. And remember, all husbands should be househusbands家庭主夫 — a husband who keeps the house, even if they have careers or run businesses. All husbands should do their share of the housework and all husbands should be active fathers, in accordance with what the woman wants.

Now the second topic that is related but separate is the all important bonding between a woman and her new born child. This is a role that only a woman can fill. A man cannot bond with a child like a woman because a man does not produce life and does not carry a child in the womb. There is a bond between mother and child that a man cannot duplicate. Therefore, a woman needs to have that special time with her child after birth. No matter how important her career, she needs to spend those first few months with her child. Some child psychologists recommend six months to a year.
