I really don't want him to go back to work. It really helps me a lot too, and I know that he is a real man because he is home taking care of his family. Don't be hard on yourself.

If you have been laid off for 6 months I would hope you are trying really hard to find employment. I think that men should be the main breadwinners in a family.

He would love it and so would i, it's great knowing at least one parent can stay with their children and it's awesome for a guy to be able to handle it, not all men are "programmed" for it. To be honest, i think it takes more of a man to do it! My husband wants to be a stay at home dad, we just can’t afford it.

I know it sounds cliche' but being a stay at home mom is the hardest job in the world, and I'm sure it's just as much work for a stay at home dad. So unless your wife is a stay at home mom doing everything on her own while you look at want ads for a few minutes and then play video games all day you are a real man, and a very hard working one, so pat yourself on the back. Times are tough right now, you'll find something soon. No, not if your wife works full time and you take care of the kids, the house, the laundry and dinner.

Like cook, clean, late night baby duty. If you are then you're golden. And i think involved dads are adorable! theres nothing wrong with reversing the roles. Its just a different career path. Just like any other job its a LOT of work. I know my boy couldn't do it even if he wanted to. He's tried and ended up calling my on my cell "HELP!?!?!" XD its a tough job. Good luck! :D No but that does mean you’re a bum if you’re not doing the things a stay at home mom would. Like cook, clean, late night baby duty.

It does not make you any less of a man if you are. As long as you take your job as a stay at home dad, as seriously as you would whatever job you had before...you are still working, and still providing and taking care of your family.

I think its great when one parent gets to stay at home with the child all day ( as opposed to day care). My fiance will most likely be a stay at home dad someday..once I get my real job.
