MOST kids are not close to their dads bc they are the working type and don't get to spend alot of time with their children. I don't look down on them at all. They deserve crdit for all they do and willing to put their male ego aside and stay home with the kids.

I think that that's great! If the mom agrees to it and she makes more money or whatever the reason, then I think that that is great because let's face it, every kid loves a good, caring loving father! My husband is one of those guys who would make a great stay at home dad. He's just so nurturing and kind and loving towards our kids. Which is wierd because he's this big tough tatooed Navy guy...lol. But since he's in the Navy, I stay home with our kids...lol. He would love to though I'm sure. Anyways, keep it up Dad. Every kid needs their dad in their lives (... contrary to popular belief...) your kids are lucky. God bless! Absolutely not! I think that that’s great!

And no of course not, The only person that would look down on a SAHD is simply a sexist. If the woman has the higher earning job...why shouldn't the man stay at home with the children instead? Same as stay at home moms.

A lot of the time the women stay home instead because the men usually bring in more money. (Not in all situations though!!) I am a stay at home mom because my husband was making a hell lot more than I was. I think that men should have as much right to stay home and raise the kids as the women do!

I got to know quite a few of them through play group, story hour, and now preschool. It's 2008, not 1940. If a dad wants to be a full - time parent while his wife works outside the home, I say more power to him. He IS supporting his family - by caring for his children and ensuring their development.

It's kind of wonderful, actually. I took some flack from other men regarding being "PW," but I never let it bother me. I was doin g what was right for my family, and I enjoyed it. I love my job, too, mind you, but I sure am glad I was able to have a few years of day-to-day bonding with the kids. I was a SAHD for around three years when my kids were younger.

I don't think any less of him because of it. I think it's fine. I'm a SAHM so I understand perfectly about making decisions in the best interest of your family. My neighbor down the street is a SAHD.

Sorry, I think if anyone is going to be the stay at home it should be the woman and the man should be out taking care of his family.
