Hi Gordon,
My husband actually became a stay-at-home dad, but not by choice. He actually had an accident at work (fell off of his cement truck fender cleaning the windows as he was directed,) however, 3 herniated discs later he ended up at home for around 3 years.
We have identical twin girls who are now 11 - at the time we lived in a neighborhood where they had lots of friends at 6 years old. Our house was always full of kids, either staying for lunch, sleeping over or just hanging out on the grass. It takes a lot of supervision and organization to multi-task kids of all ages and all at once. LOL
Once he got in the swing of it he really did a great job. All of the kids loved him. However, cleaning tasks and laundry kind of didn't fit in most times - but the most important thing was the welfare and happiness of the kids, so needing clean underwear could wait until I got home.
