Vannie,
I just read your new article on dad staying at home. I recently read about such a father in my local newspaper. He was thrilled with his decision. He gave up his career when he and his wife realized that between day care and travel costs he had very little of his salary left. They decided he could make more of a difference in his children's lives by being at home with them.
His kids and wife love it. His wife can spend more quality time with the kids when she gets home and the kids love having a parent there when they get home. For the first year, he even dressed up every day to meet the kids at the bus stop. Interestingly, he says that at the bus stop there are more men to talk with then women.
I just wanted to tell this so that any men and their families considering this move can take heart from someone else's experience. Being a stay-at-home dad can truly enrich the lives of your kids and yourself.
