If you could do the career thing out of the home and work at least 75% of the time (compared to your billings in a conventional setting). Also, if the kids were all boys, it could be good and bad. Good because of the inevitable father-son rapport (and arguments!) and bad because of the attitude "what's up with this, my Dad stays at home and my friends' Dads occupy a corner office." I guess they'd have to get over it. Since nowadays Mom can have a JD from Columbia and Dad can be a social studies HS teacher, just to use an example, the tables have forever turned on traditional role models. Can't say I like it, but I'm starting to get used to it.
I think this is what my husband and I will do. It just is working out that way naturally. I am the driven one, he's more sweet, so....we'll see how it goes! I think he'd be fantastic at it. But if he's not, we'll figure something else out.
Is that something that you would consider? Why or why not?
Yes, because the upbringing of my future children would be more important than any career. I don't have children yet, and not saying that I'm aiming to be a stay at home dad, just saying I'd be open to it.
My father taught me that the man provides and while it may sound and seem old fashioned, I would not be able to live with a man that was not the main provider. I don't mind working, but I don't want to be the one bringing home all the money or most of the money for that matter.
One of the easiest jobs I've ever had. Of course I could make it sound like I'm doing a lot (like a certain demographic has done in the past), but it was very simple. Clean the house (if you do it daily, less to do every day), get kids ready for and off to school. After that 2 hours a day is done, the rest is mine (shopping, etc.) and since I like cooking, that's not even a pain.
I did it for a long period between jobs when I got out of the Navy and was looking for the job I have. Luckily the kids are older now, so the job would be even easier than it was for me then. It's not rocket science, it's time management.
Of course, my wife would need to make what I do for it to be fair, right?

I want one!!!! a stay at home hottie who cleans and cooks and is readily available for sex at my beacon call ..........I'll take 2!
I wouldnt have a problem with it if the dad actually did the things a stay at home mom did. CLEAN house, laundry, shopping, bills, take care of the kids and had dinner ready when I got home, then brought me a beer while I sat on the couch, watched TV and scratched my boobs. LOL. Just kidding.
I worked with a fellow who quit to stay at home with his twin daughters when his wife went back to work because she made more money. He was very glad to get back to work after about a year and a half of that. It wasn't as easy as the thought it would be.
