Hagee Says – Stay-At-Home Dads Go to Hell
I have been really busy this week and also really busy today (2/17/12). So I thought I would share this old post today… a marketing experiment.
Now the question is, why did I post this video? Well, this was actually a marketing experiment. I wanted to see if a headline like this would increase the amount of visitors to my website in one day.
Well it worked. Although only a couple people commented, and most of the traffic was not targeted, it worked. Here’s the deal. I posted the title of this video on Facebook where I have lots of friends and other people not interested in marketing, work at home, etc.
However, when I checked my stats, the visits to my website that day when posted, my blog visitors increased by 30%. For my next project, I am going to play around with some really controversial topics that I can tie in with marketing.
Well we all know that the two most controversial topics are religion and politics. These are two areas that I consider very private and never comment on. However, I am willing to see how people would respond and react to a very controversial blog post.

Go to hell Hagee!
1I’m still learning from you. I certainly liked reading all that is written on your blog. Keep the information coming. I enjoyed it!
2Having been a SAHM for nraley 10 years, I have to admit that I do miss it. While I do work only 4 days a week and even that only during school hours, I do miss the times when I can help out at school and be with my kids. Before I went back to work, the plan was to go back to work full time. But having done this school hours gig, I think I’d rather not. I don’t want to have to feel guilty working full time and not be able to be there when my kids need me. My employer is very flexible, which is great. I guess, priorities change when you become a mum – you tend to look at things differently. I used to think I lost my career by being a SAHM, but then I realised as my status changed that being a mum IS my career – it’s all I know really and am confident at doing and being. Hmm…maybe that’s why there was that clucky feeling a few weeks back!
Great post btw.
3Another great post Vernette. I do agree that men should work and support their children. Please Read my latest post HTML For Blogggers. Thank you,

My question is why is it wrong to “judge” stay at home dads, when feminists have been judging stay at home moms for years. And judging them quite harshly. Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem decided it was their business to tell every woman that she should have a career rather than be a stay at home mom. They didn’t say it was a decision between mom and dad. So Hagee is saying every man should have a career rather than be a stay at home dad. Why is one wrong and the other right?
5Nemow, neither one is wrong or right whether one stays at home to take care of their kids or have a career. Both moms and even dads have proven that they all do a wonderful job and the kids benefit. There are awful stay at home moms, awful working moms and stay at home dads. too So either way, we need to applaud parents who love, spend quality time with their children, and take care great care of them. Staying home with the kids these days is a privilege. Working from home is a taste of both worlds. Some people do that too.
6Oh My God, I don’t know how I missed this blog. Really informative, and some articles written here are really good. Hats off..
7Thanks Issac.
8awesome post! it’s like my huzza could have wtrtien it. everything you describe about being a stay at home/work from home dad pretty much mirrors our/his life. as a SAHM i too inadvertently make all of the demands of his time that at the time are seemingly innocuous, but like you say these things hardly negate the sheer amount of work he has piling up on his plate while he does things like schlep us to doctor’s appointments, and so on. thanks for letting us know how dads *really* feel. cheers!
9I think that what is most important in our lives ..is respecting each other’s choices. Who cares who works were or what. Stay t home mom or dad is a decision between mom and dad. Who would like…to stay at home. Today we have the possibility to run corporations from home..who’s to say?
10Any person who says such things is judging, and there is One Judge that I know of.
More power to stay at home men or women. More power to people who work outside the home. More power to everybody
