Speaker 1 (00:00):
We got a question for our American mama's Dear mamas,
what's your opinion on stay at home dads. Well, let's
ask our mary A and Mama's.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Mama Mama, she said, and joining us now are American
Mama's Terrain Edville and Kimberly Burlison.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Okay, I'm not quite a stay at home dead. I'm
a work from home dewn for most of the I mean,
obviously we do the radio show here in the studio,
but most of the day, I know, I don't live
too far from the studio, and so you know, we
homeschooled my daughter and I was working at home. So
please be gentle on this. What do you think about
stay at home stay at home dads?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Well, we actually that's that's different when you're working from
home because a lot of people can do that. Now,
that's one of the things that came out of the pandemic,
I think is people realize you can do stuff from home.
But we saw this video and it was this I
would say late twenties and a couple. The woman is
(01:05):
saying to her husband, Babe, I need I need I
work two jobs. You want me to work a third job?
He's like, I don't know what you need to do,
but I just want to stay home with the kids,
like I don't. He didn't want to work.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Wow, And she's not making enough money.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yes, that she's making another job and he was fine
with that. This man was fine with his wife having
to get a third job.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Oh no, sir.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
So I was immediately. I was turned off. I felt
sorry for this woman, felt sorry for the children. And
I thought, is this a product of the whole toxic
masculinity thing? Is this a is this a society thing?
Is this what he saw growing up? What is this about?
Because Kevin and I we were just talking the other night.
I saw a Christmas show and it's about these the
(01:50):
joy merchants in New York, these guys that sell their
Christmas trees. And I was watching these men load the trees,
watching the men come like, watching these men do all
these things, and I just started I said, you know,
I said, feminists who say we don't need men drive
me nuts. Who would do I started listing all the
things that Kevin and men like him do, Like, I mean,
(02:10):
I was like, what about this, in this, in this,
and y'all do the hard stuff y'all do the heavy lifting,
the dirty stuff, don't. Well, I mean men do, like
in general, they do all the things that that we
cannot do, we physically cannot do, or we're not prepared.
They had the load and we're a whole.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Bunch of female coal miners.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, can you imagine? So I was, I was, so
I was thinking about that. Actually, we were watching Landman
the other night and it came up again, and I said,
masculinity is making a comeback. Luckily, we're seeing it everywhere.
But when I saw that guy, and I thought, oh,
my goodness, you're giving about if there's because there are
(02:52):
some stay at home dads who are awesome and the
wife is like, they want to work outside the home
and they're making great money and they want the other
one to be there and that their thing. But this
kind of makes me go, oh, like, I don't know
how I feel. I was turned off by that guy.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I was so turned off too, But it made me think,
this is and I hope I have this right. But
Joe Rogan was interviewing elon musk Okay and the conversation
they were having was about the takeover of Europe and
how these Muslims have come in and they've taken over,
and these men are so soft that they've allowed it
to happen. And Elon says he that Lord of the
(03:32):
Rings was based on Tolkien's book, but Tolkien based the
Hobbits on those kind of men. He said, they live
in villages and there they're kind and they're sweet, and
they take care of everything. They're gardening while hard men
go out and fight for them to have that. So
as soon as you have a whole five hundred people
that come and take over your village and pillage and
(03:53):
rape and do everything else, they don't know what to
do because the TRD men, the tough men, have gone
out and done it for them, and so they're soft.
So what I feel like is happening. And we are
creating a society of soft men right now, not little villages,
but in our country and mass in mass and I
think video gaming, no work ethic, no physical labe, no,
(04:18):
men are growing up softer. And I think it's going
to be really bad with what happens with our country
because of that.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
And I do think that men need to have this
understanding that your job is to protect your family. Yes,
that is your job.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
And there's at that bothered me about this guy having
zero problem with his wife working multiple jobs.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
And that's the part that if your job as a
stay at home dad is to protect the home, and
the mom's now able to say she's a CEO. Yeah
she's making half a million a year. Yeah, you can
stay at home and raise the kids and protect the
kids and make sure that the kids are taught what
needs to be taught. You know, I'm in favor of that.
But if your staying at home is creating hardship or
(05:00):
creating danger for your family, then you're not doing your
primary job, which is to protect your family.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
That's it. And there's something internal for men. They had this.
I've always believed innately they want to be the protector.
They won't because I said one time, I wish I
could take all of this off of you. You know,
there's just so much on men. I think that's why
they probably die earlier than women.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Well, plus we make bad decisions.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yeah, and Kem said, I would want that. I want
to be in this role. I want to be the protector.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
You know, I talk about this all the time. People
said that, you know, when you get married, everything changes
and my wife and I got married and nothing changed.
Awful advice. What they don't tell you is the moment
your children are born, everything changes. Yeah, and the moment
my son was born. The moment he was born, all
of a sudden, there was this protective thing that, yes,
now I'm the dad, I'm the one in charge, this
(05:53):
is my house, my rules. That that thing came immediately
when he was born. If you like deskar American Mama
