@@Scarface_445if he does it right, he won’t be just stopping….he will be way more stressed raising 2 girls as well as educating and socialising them for years and years of their lives most likely with not much of a break. It’s not an easy thing at all especially for a dad who is not female and will probably find it very hard to understand and communicate effectively with his daughters.

He mentioned wife’s salary but didn’t say if she was ok with him quitting to homeschool…Interesting that Dave didn’t ask what does his wife think about it… They can manage financially but they need to be in the same page on wanting for one parent to homeschool and he also needs to try to do it for sometime before quitting just to see if we would be good at it.

Yes, because since the advent of agriculture, women have been the ones staying at home and men have been the bread-winners, why is this surprising to you?

This is where I think sexism against men start. People start to shame men who want to take up traditionally female jobs. Wife is a doctor and earns more than him, he doesn't like his job and wants to be a family man. People make fun of fatherless children but when a father wants to be involved then? Women are favoured more in court in divorces, and people's mentality is the reason why. I support stay at home dads and career moms. All the way.

Yes, he should give it a try. But only if he’s serious about it. Stay at home dad means taking care of the kids, cleaning house, cooking dinner, running errands, getting groceries, etc. It’s a full time job in itself. It would also be a good opportunity to start a steady side business. On the other hand, if he’s just going to sit home all day playing video games, the probably a bad idea.

No it only works when it is the female giving up the job and not the male. This is something that no matter how much social engineering goes into it won’t change. The female will lose the respect for her mate knowingly or unknowingly if he is not functioning as the bread winner. If you have level headed couples who are intune with one another and are team players then it might possibly work but it is really hard to override those role plays based on biological programming.

I have a feeling that this guy will get burnt out from homeschooling rather quickly. Then he will regret his decision to quit that $200K job.

This is ridiculous, if this was a woman calling in Dave's exact words would to a wife whose husband makes 300k+ a year, and wanted to stay home with her kids would be "sweety, he makes more than enough money for y'all to live on, what's the problem". This guy is basically being told he is not holding up his end of the bargain if he isn't working and earning to his full potential.

THIS is why you shouldn’t choose a career simply because it’s lucrative. You don’t have to absolutely love your job, but you should at least be doing something that you have some underlying interest in. This guy picked a career because a Top 10 list said it paid well and here we are.

Is there a private school in his area that follows a “Classic” education curriculum? Arithmetic, Grammar, History, Reading, writing. Do some research. Home schoolers can offer this type of curriculum as well.

Having the option to stay home is an opportunity most moms & esp dads do not get these days. It would be silly for them to not take it. They have the financial freedom to try it out. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t. But one thing’s for sure - you don’t regret time spent with your kids.

The best choice for the kids would be to have a parent around more but I am afraid the wife will soon turn to resenting you for staying home with the kids while she works all those hours. So keep your job to save your marriage.

His idea is great actually. He has the heart of a teacher and is passionate about traditional approaches and what works in learning. Go be a teacher to not just your own kids but look at developing a curriculum for desperate parents needing to escape our sinking ship.

My dad stayed home. Do it dude!!! Please have a parent around for those babies!!!

I have a friend who’s married to a nurse and he’s a stay at home dad. They met while she was finishing nursing school and had a kid. It works out fine. Dave would have no problem if the woman was asking the question

Very sexist of you to assume that. Dave doesn't have a problem with it

If this was a lady Dave Ramsey would tell her to quit immediately. Smh

No problem with that

wife will build resentment that her husband isn't working. don't quit the job, just hire help at home. Let them go to public school and teach them life lessons as their "home schooling".

Agreed

Dave says the dads going from working full time to not working at all. Being a stay at home dad full time is harder than any job I can think of. A Bit delusional

@@TheWedeShow ah, you can't.

Why not just hire a homeschooling teacher/tutor? That way you can still do what you want and keep more control on the kids.

What does his wife think of his idea? Also is it possible for his wife to reduce her hours and him staying employed? He's already WFH and that's a sweet salary.

DR doesn't like caller's idea. A hard-charging finance guy trapped inside with kids in a long snowy Maine winter? Yeah, no. Team with other families to make a learning pod. You can afford it. Hire a tutor, organize parent volunteer hours, take field trips...etc. [There is more to remote learning than staring at iPads.]

This guy has the voice of a stay at home dad

This is a question for his wife not Dave clearly they are fine financially but it seems as though shes not into the idea of being the sole breadwinner it puts pressure ion her he may not realize...making 300K a year is great but making 500K is better...

That is a sexist answer. If that were a woman calling & saying she wanted to quit her job & home school & her husband made 300K with savings & no debt, he would right away say, yes you should stay home, you have enough money to live comfortably, not convience her she should still work.

First on the Dave Ramsey Show!

I've been waiting years for this call. Bring HIM home!!!

Keep the burn for one more year to pay off the mortgage and then do it.

Would the answer be the same if the wife wanted to stay at home?

No absolutely not he’s a man he should be working he’s at home all day as is he sees his wife because he works from home. Anything can happen a divorce a illness

When the wife makes more than the husband, there is a high risk for divorce. Men should think about that before becoming a stay at home dad.

For how much they make they should have more in retirement. That is a great household income.

Ik it shouldn't matter if a dad stays at home but idk it just doesn't feel right. Ik we are equal but man should aways be the provider is human nature

How come he can’t Homeschool in the morning, evening and weekends and continue to work? He’s just looking for an excuse to quit working, he plainly stated working in finance wasn’t what he wanted to do. He also stated they had college funds started, is he going to homeschool them through college as well?

They just completely dismissed teaching your kids from home they didn’t even ask. Are they in a private school and how much that cost per year also they didn’t ask how are things with your relationship because if you need to rekindle that fire, then staying at home is absolutely 100% the best decision.

why can't he still home school and still work?

Yeah I think Dave isusing the income example to try to explain that men need to be working because they’re built to provide and they’re built to sustain their family.

working from home sounds boring to me but for 200 grand sounds pretty awesome. sounds like he just doesnt like the job anymore

Someone connect me with this man and I can teach his kids.

He might as well. Half his income is probably going to income taxes anyway between 300k-500k.

He said homeschooling his kids! So a private teacher and homekeeper. He also said he wants to change careers to make it work better for his family. Nothing wrong with that. It’s very important that families decide together what is best for them. Sure naturally it falls on the woman to stay home because we get pregnant and nurse etc. But their kids are older. He isn’t going to be home while his pregnant nursing wife is out working🤷🏻‍♀️ I see nothing wrong with that. He seems to have a good plan and seems to already know how to plan for his day with his experience in working from home

How do I find a doctor to marry?

I wonder how their conversation will change if this is a wife called instead

Been 2 years - i wanna know what the guy did!

how old are the kids???????? that will determine alot

It's a wonderful place to be, to quote D. R. So please homeschool your girls! Do it tomorrow! Congratulations 🎈🎉 🎈🎉 I'm so happy for you & your family!

this call shows that money won't always make you happy

How nice when your past choices allow you the option to quit a 200K job! Nice!

Uhhhhh... What happened to beans and rice?

I think the only reason they're considering this at all is because they think technology is bad for kids learning full stop. An iPad isn't going to single-handedly derail a child's learning experience. The world is becoming more technology driven every day and hiding your kids from that will harm them as well, which he should be able to easily acknowledge considering his entire workday is on a computer.

I know i dont like my niece and nephew on their ipads at school because i feel like theyre not being taught. Theyre at a private school and i think that groupthinking is alot stronger for growth than computerized right or wrong answer. Think of math; the way that you work through a problem is step-by-step, not by filling in boxes until a green checkmark appears. I think the skills you learn with pen and paper far outweigh what you gain from tech learning. That being said i dont think tech is useless or unimportant, but i dont think it should be the basis of all your learning:

As a 19 year old I think the amount of technology kids are given now even compared to just 10 years ago is insane and ridiculous and is definitely hurting their learning.

Sir…

Come on man! Give me that income I will hire a home school teacher for my family. Simple as that.

Please don't put "The" before the word WIFE. Just sayin! In case you don't realize what I'm talking about, it's much kinder to say Your Wife.

This is crazy we’re leading toward a future we’re men are staying at home and the woman are working this is a formula for disaster
