Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This is a male character who serves as the primary domestic in his family as opposed to his (usually female) significant other. He is organized when it comes to homemaking, knows how to cook, clean, and is good with kids. This is usually because it is his partner who works to support the family, and due to an unwillingness to have both parents absent, he takes it upon himself to do the "wife's duties." Alternatively, it could be because his partner lacks competence in such duties and he has to fill the role by necessity. Such a character is often contrasted with a less-than-feminine female character, or another male character who is a "real man", and thus useless around the house. The usual Double Standard applies in that, for the most part, such a character is assumed to be less "manly" than one who doesn't do these things, because (for some reason) men aren't supposed to be good at these sort of things. Quite often, a man who is a full-time househusband is seen as somehow a failure or a "bum" for "not working," even by people who have no problem with women being full-time homemakers and who would never even hint that a woman who stayed home to keep house and take care of the kids didn't have "a job". In addition, a lot of the "support network" of stay-at-home moms is often unavailable to a stay-at-home dad, because being a male makes the househusband an outsider, even if he has the same day-to-day experiences and problems as the stay-at-home mom. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Additionally, a full-time househusband may be patronizingly praised as though he's obviously making some incredible sacrifice, since of course men can't possibly enjoy childcare or domestic work, and/or somehow exceeding the limits of what men are capable of by displaying any actual competence at those things. Sometimes this happens while other people are calling him a bum. When Played for Laughs, the trope is often a part of a Fish out of Water story wherein a man with no prior experience at, or interest in, domestic work is forced by circumstances into the House Husband role and has to adapt quickly. Compare Family Man, Real Men Wear Pink and Real Men Cook. Contrast Men Can't Keep House (and Dads Can't Cook) and House Wife. Obviously this is occasional Truth in Television. The phrase "house husband" was popularized in the press when John Lennon retired from music for five years to "bake bread and take care of the baby". Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Etymologically speaking, this phrase or compound word suffers from semantic redundancy because the word husband derives from the Old English compounds that literally meant "householder".

UFO Princess Valkyrie. Kazuto. In one episode, he participates in a "bridal training game" along with several other cast-members, including the eponymous Valkyrie (albeit in her childlike Sleep-Mode Size). At the end, the game crowns the finest "bride"... him. Responsible, skilled at cooking and cleaning, kind, and even knows flower-arrangement somehow. | |

El Chapulín Colorado was once called to help a househusband. Said househusband was a gynecologist who quit his job when his wife (whose job was never specified) started earning more than him. By a Contrived Coincidence, one of his former patients and her husband moved next door and, not knowing he lived there, the patient's husband went there to use a telephone to call him. Chapulin then pushed the house husband into resuming his job. His wife then became a housewife. | |

Haise Sasaki from Tokyo Ghoul:Re is often compared to a housewife. He treats his subordinates like his own children, handling a variety of domestic duties as well as training them. In particular, he's noted to be an exceptionally skilled chef that enjoys cooking up meals for them. In the 2016 Calendar, he represents "Housewife Rest Day". An omake after he leaves the team features Urie wondering how he managed it all, calling Sasaki a monster for juggling work and domestic duties so well. | |

The Castle episode "Little Girl Lost" features a male artist who stays at home and takes care of his daughter while his wife works. The wife is so angry with him for "doing nothing" for ten years while she worked that she plotted with her sister to kidnap her own daughter, just so she could pay the ransom to herself and thus keep her husband from getting half of their assets when she divorced him. Another reason she's angry with him is because she doesn't think he's a particularly good house husband. | |

Briefly, on Heroes, after Matt's law enforcement career hits an even more serious snag than usual, he becomes a surprisingly apt house husband, having breakfast ready when his wife gets up, cooking French cuisine, and apparently taking on most of the childcare responsibilities. Nonetheless, his wife worries he's not happy without a job. (Perhaps relatedly, his wife appears with Power Hair and a very sensible black pantsuit while he's being Mr Mom in the kitchen.) | |

In The Power of Seven, when Harry ends up in a relationship with seven women at once (Ginny, Hermione, Luna, Fleur, Demezla Robbins, Susan Bones and Katie Bell) as part of a ritual to destroy the horcrux within him, Kate 'suggests' that Harry should just prepare to be this once the war's over, considering that he'll have seven women to satisfy and would probably prefer to take it easy at home rather than fight more Dark Wizards. At first, Harry privately isn't sure if he would be able to respect himself if he wasn't providing for his family, but Hermione assures him that he has enough money to do that if he wants and doesn't need to worry about it at the moment anyway. The epilogue confirms Harry has basically become this, even dropping out of Hogwarts halfway through his final year to be present for the birth of his and Fleur's daughter, cooking breakfast for the others, and basically taking it easy while supporting his seven wives in helping Wizarding Britain recover from Voldemort's second war. | |

Some of the male potential spouses in Stardew Valley could be considered this, as your spouse will help out around the farm (feed the animals, water the crops, mend fences, cook breakfast), which often contrasts with their old life, and a few of them (such as Sam, who stops playing music) outright give up things they loved. However, these are strictly their own decisions and they only do it because they love you (unhappy spouses mope instead), and others, like Harvey, can still find time for their own lives. (In contrast, Abigail will finally have the chance to realize her dream of becoming a monster slayer, and may randomly give you monster drops from her latest adventure.) | |

In The Princess and the Frog, Tiana's father cooked for his family (and the neighborhood in general) and was very involved with raising his daughter. This was despite the fact he would do double or even triple shifts at work yet he never let his exhaustion get in the way of what mattered. His love and devotion to his family was later used as a sign of how successful his life was, rather than whether or not he achieved his dream of running a restaurant. | |

How the Light Gets In: Dean is the homemaker and Laurel is the breadwinner for their family, but he occasionally works a few shifts as a mechanic if they needed extra money. The story doesn't look down on Dean for this, but the rest of Team Arrow seemed to dismissively think of think as nothing but a "stay at home dad". Boy were they wrong. In an argument with Quentin, Dean accuses him and Dinah for judging and condemning him for this, and they'd have a higher opinion of him if he worked and Laurel was a housewife. |

In Incredibles 2, Helen Parr goes back into superheroics, leaving Bob to say home to raise the kids. Despite initial struggles such as Dash making him learn New Math, he quickly proves himself to be a very competent homemaker. He cooks for the kids, gets better at helping with homework, and makes sure Violet's first date goes well. The only reason things go sideways is that while Bob's great at handling kids, he has no idea how to handle super babies. Jack-Jack developing 17+ superpowers at once really strings him out. | |

In The Big Bang Theory, one episode had Howard Wolowitz come to terms with the fact that his fianceé Bernadette wasn't good with children and didn't look forward to being a traditional mother. The two eventually come to an agreement (somewhat reluctantly on Howard's part) that should they decide to raise a family, Howard will be the one to stay at home with the kids. | |

After Fiona is born in Retail Scott cuts back to two shifts a week at his job so he can be the primary caregiver while Marla is the main breadwinner (with her being the store manager at Grumbel's).

Many Neon Genesis Evangelion fanfics take Shinji Ikari's House Husband credentials from canon and run with them, sometimes to exaggerated levels. Some specific examples: Advice and Trust: Shinji is the one makes all household chores in Misato's apartment while his guardian Misato and his roommate -and secret girlfriend- Asuka do nothing (except praising his cooking skills sometimes). So what happens when Shinji and Asuka decide to mess with Misato's head? Asuka wears an apron, cooks and insists she doeoveragain. The Child of Love: Shinji is the one does all chores in the Katsuragi household. When he is away, the place quickly becomes a mess. Evangelion 303: When Asuka moves with Shinji, it quickly becomes obvious who is the better homemaker. Shinji is an excellent cook and he is used to take care of himself and keep his house clean and tidy. Asuka didn't know how to cook before moving in and she's barely better at chores. HERZ: Shinji is the one make all domestic chores in the Ikari’s homestead. It is lampshaded several times. In chapter 4: Scar Tissue: This is in fact a plot point: Shinji was the one made all household chores in Misato's apartment, and he is hospitalised for several weeks. During that time Asuka realizes she is barely capable to cook and keep their house and herself clean, and she feels mortified thinking that Misato and she took him for granted and never showed enough gratitude. Superwomen of Eva 2: Lone Heir of Krypton: Shinji takes care of all domestic chores in Katsuragi's residence. It bothers Asuka, who thinks he is too committed to play the house-husband role and they are taking advantage of it. In Children of an Elder God, Shinji takes care of all household chores in the Misato's apartment because Misato is a slob and Asuka was banned from the kitchen after an ill-fated attempt to make a pizza. Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genocide: Shinji is the one makes all household chores in Misato's apartment... although one of his flat-mates often complains about him always taking too long. Thousand Shinji: When Shinji moves with Misato he takes over the cooking, cleaning... and all remaining household chores but laundry. He's tidier and more organized than his slovenly flatmates -his surrogate mother and his girlfriend- and he likes cleaning because he likes changing and altering his environment. Last Child of Krypton: When Shinji started living with Misato and Asuka, he quickly became in charge of all household chores. Asuka joked that he was a housebroken male. In Once More with Feeling Shinji makes all domestic chores since Misato is a slob and Asuka doesn't care as long as she doesn't have to do them. |

A number of husbands on Call the Midwife have shades of this, being very involved with helping out during their wives' pregnancies and caring for the baby. One notable example is Mr. Warren, who is noted as standing out for staying with his wife during the deliveries of all twenty-two of their children. When she delivers the twenty-third while suffering a concussion, he stays with her the entire time, holding her still and keeping her calm. | |

In The Sims, a male character with a family-based aspiration works very well as one of these. And as the Sims world is a largely genderless utopia of acceptance, no one finds it in any way strange. The Sims 3 subverts this trope with pre-made Dustin Langerek, who, though a stay at home dad, is less than focused on the housework. | |

He and Arthur's mother Jane both work from home (he runs a catering business and Jane is an accountant), but Jane earns more of the family's income and David cooks most of the meals—and he's quite a good cook when he isn't experimenting. He also has some feminine traits, and is even prone to binging on ice cream when depressed. | |

Love Lucky: Fuuta might as well become one. Kirari even suggests he could quit his job since she has enough money for the two of them to live without his income. (He's shocked when she showed him the digits) However, he refuses because he feels he'd be her gigolo if he agreed. Considering she only wants him to quit so she could enjoy her days off in a more lustful way... As he leaves for work, she decides to use her day off to do housework only to find out everything is already done, leaving her feeling like a failure of a wife. Fuuta feels he was too rude with his words and tells her he won't quit so she'll see him as a reliable adult. In the end, after they no longer have to keep their marriage a secret, they realize they still won't have much time together while the both of them have jobs. Since there are things Kirari still wanted to do as an idol, Fuuta ends up becoming a househusband. | |

The song "Mr. Mom" by Lonestar plays the Double Standard to the hilt, featuring a man who loses his job and has to become a house husband. At first, he sees it as a chance to relax, but by the end of the first week of being a stay-at-home parent, he hates it and wants to find another job. The implications are that men (all men) are unsuited to domestic life and have to leave it to the women (although he does admit at the end that his wife is his hero because he now knows how she feels). | |

While Ted from Sally Forth has a job of his own, he often helps out with the jobs at home too. In one comic where his parents show up for the holidays, his dad demands that someone provide him with a sandwich. He then berates Ted for fixing it instead of leaving it for Sally (who already had her hands full with the actual dinner for everyone) and asks "What did you get married for?" Ted replies with "Oh, you know. Love, companionship. Having a second mother wasn't really a part of it." | |

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword features potion-shop owner Luv and her husband Bertie. Whereas Luv is a shrewd businesswoman who is known for her brashness, meek Bertie is the one who constantly takes care of their child, only runs a side-business, and is even referred to by your Exposition Fairy as a "tireless househusband." Although Bertie seems like a Henpecked Husband, he seems to genuinely enjoy being the primary caretaker for their child ("Even when they keep you up all night, babies are still pretty cute"), and he and Luv make a great potion-making team. | |

Michael Hosea takes on this role in Redeeming Love, mainly because he’s been living alone and single well into his twenties, and his wife picked up absolutely no domestic skills during her thirteen-year career as a prostitute. The gender-stereotype connotations of this trope are averted, though; he’s a very typically manly farmer and she is extremely feminine. | |

In Kekkaishi, main character Yoshimori's dad is one of these, in the absence of his mother. He's portrayed as a mild-mannered generally decent guy. He even seems to have inspired Yoshimori to become a baker. On the other hand, his wife, whose business is more of the supernatural detective kind like her father's and her sons', turns out not to be as good at cooking as he is. This manga seems to favor a symmetrical design in terms of characters. Yoshimori's clan of Sumimura, the kekkaishi who wear black and who have a white shikigami dog, passes down their name to all members directly related by blood, disregarding the typical patrilineal naming convention in Japan, which makes his family in particular a matriarchal one (he takes his mother's family name) and which explains his father's househusband status in the family. All members of his family other than his father are kekkaishi, including his grandfather, his mother, his older brother, him and his younger brother. It's the opposite situation for the Yukimura clan of his partner Tokine who are kekkaishi who wear white and who have a black shikigami dog; her family has her grandmother (who was the one to pass down the family name), her deceased father, and herself as kekkaishi. |

In Meet the Fockers, it's revealed that Greg's father Bernie, a lawyer, has given up practicing law after Greg was born, choosing to raise him instead. Jack, being a staunch traditionalist, finds this disturbing. At the end, when Greg, Bernie, and Jack are in jail, Bernie offers to go talk to Judge Ira, presumably to use his familiarity with the judge through his former practice to get them all out. The judge does indeed order the cop to let them out, but not because of anything Bernie says. It turns out that Ira and his wife are regular clients of Bernie's wife, a sex therapist. | |

In Cooking Papa, it's kinda downplayed with Airawa Kazumi. Both he and his wife work, but only he can cook in the family (and his office is just 5 minutes from apartment), so he's the one who takes care of food. | |

Lelouch Lamperouge from Code Geass is an excellent cook, knows how to sew, and is a consummate neat freak, all as a result of looking after his Ill Girl sister for years. This especially contrasts with his partner C.C., a total slob who leaves trash all over the place and would gleefully eat Pizza Hut each and every meal if she could. | |

Yuuya from Nukoduke isn't married, but he's so good at doing housework that his adopted kids/pets see him as their mother and tried to get him a mother's day gift. He does have a heterosexual life partner whom he makes food for, and a flashback showed that he usually cooked for his girlfriend instead of the other way around. | |

In Glory and Honor, the second installment of the Thundercracker's Glory series, Blitzwing ends up being pulled from active duty to care for his and Glory's adopted daughter, Swift, while Glory serves as Decepticon Air Commander. Admittedly Blitzwing spends much of his time at home playing video games rather than being completely domestic, though he does take good care of Swift in the process. | |

Shirou from Fate/stay night, whose primary skills are housekeeping and cooking. Especially cooking, where the descriptions border on Food Porn. Archer in other media is considered much the same outside his duties, since he constantly criticizes Shirou's cooking if given the chance. Might have to do with the fact that he's just a possible older Shirou. It's a common joke that they're the most capable domestic partners. |

The original version of Lightning Lad became this in Legion of Super-Heroes before the Five Years Later Legion manifested. While Saturn Girl went back on duty as a Legionnaire, Garth chose to stay at home and watch after their twin sons. A spotlight issue revealed that, while Garth did worry about Imra, he enjoyed watching after the kids. Also of note, there was nothing about this Played for Laughs other than some trouble with a food preparation machine. The very same spotlight issue featured Garth going up against his evil older brother Lightning Lord. | |

Pokémon: This was a result of Brock's Promotion to Parent status when his mom vanished and later his dad does. He does do quite a good job of taking care of his many younger siblings and was able to list them to his father Flint who returned (Brock's mom returned while Brock was in Johto). He even lampshaded that Ash and Misty can't travel well or eat properly without him. Cilan is taking over this role in Best Wishes, although Iris is at least savvy enough to fend for herself. |

An episode of CSI involved a husband who was a homemaker, taking care of the house and the infant son, while his successful lawyer wife made all the money. She is shown to treat him like dirt and not even bother hiding the fact that she is sleeping with her boss and that the child is likely his. The husband is revealed to be secretly going to a House of Pain to work out his frustration on a dominatrix. Then he accidentally suffocates her. When this is revealed, he finally musters the courage to tell his wife exactly what he thinks of her before being taken to prison. She's just mildly annoyed that her husband is going to jail. Not a very flattering portrayal of either the female provider or the male homemaker. | |

In Fruits Basket, in spite of his temper, Kyo is shown to be a good cook and able to at least take care of himself. He generally doesn't do it often because he doesn't like the people he currently lives with (except for Tohru), but did have to help out with the housekeeping when he was raised by his less able former guardian. In an aside note in the last volume of the series, the author also notes that Kyo will be "a kind father". | |

On the Lois & Clark show, Clark is a gourmet cook who wants kids (and children seem to adore him in both his guises). Lois, conversely, is terrified of children and "can only make four things", one of which is pasta salad. (Fanon sometimes cranks this up to "burning water" levels). One wonders how he manages time. | |

The eponymous protagonist of Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun is another house-husband in the making, as he lives by himself and is very good at handling domestic duties. Nozaki frequently makes food for his assistants especially when they are over at his place, including the one girl (and his admirer) Sakura who usually berates herself not having as much "feminine power" as he does. He appears to have helped out at home too, to the point that his father mistook Nozaki's cooking for the mother's cooking. When he gives Sakura's brother homemade snacks, helps him to clean up and folds his uniform nicely, Towa snarks that his household specs are his only appeal. | |

The Double Standard involved in this trope was starkly illustrated on an episode of Wife Swap when a conservative, very religious, "traditional" couple (husband worked, wife stayed home to run the house and care for the kids) switched with a non-religious, more liberal, "unconventional" couple (husband stayed home to run the house and care for the kids, wife worked). The "traditional" housewife almost immediately started berating the house husband (who was equally competent as she in taking care of a home) for being a "lazy deadbeat" and kept insisting that he "get a job". Surely, if anyone would, she should have known that staying at home and taking care of the kids is a job and it's anything but lazy. | |

In Saiyuki Gaiden, on the other hand, Hakkai's previous incarnation Tenpou was a total slob, and Gojyo's previous incarnation Kenren was the one who was forever cleaning and organizing Tenpou's office for him. |

Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin is a textbook example. When he moves into Kaoru's dojo he takes over the laundry, shopping, cooking, and even child-sitting duties, always with maximum cheerfulness and reasonable efficiency (he's not exactly a good cook, but anyone's better than Kaoru) Considering his One-Man Army past, this serves mostly to underscore his Atoner and Broken Ace tendencies. | |
