The most offensive thing to suggest to an American woman is that she stay home to take care of children while the man goes to work. I wanted my children to have a stable life unlike the one I had going from babysitter to babysitter while both parents worked. In the end my mother spent the family to death and bankruptcy and divorce followed.
One of the problems here is the 'pressure' for both spouses to work to pay for all the material objects. All the women I have met and dated here judged a person based on material wealth. Dozens. And the same characteristic from the ones I have worked with. It's fairly rare to find an American woman who simply wants to raise a family. I think that's wrong and it's a big reason I started looking overseas. Just never made it to Europe.
Frankly I would be happy staying home while the wife works but, let's face it, it's a man's world and generally a man will earn more than a woman in the same job. That's not bigoted or anything it's the hard truth.
