Do you think there would have been a stigma if you had chosen to do that in Louisiana?
Hell yes.
I've got friends who are fishermen, authors, etc to stay at home for much of the year and no one thinks anything about it. But, there are far more strict social rules in the South than the West.

And that sucks. Why do we do that in the south? Why as culture would we not be supportive of responsible parenting and happy families just because of which parent stays home? Aren't family values supposed to be a selling point for us....well that and low property taxes and favorable gun laws.... But you get my point.

I don't think this counts Roger...these guys are providers that due to their jobs have periods of time off where they contribute at home. When I think of Mr Moms I think of guys that don't work at all and just do woman's work around the house while their wives are the providers.
I could never do something like that, as a man. I can think of few things more emasculating than being a Mr Mom. I have a friend from college that became that - I have nothing in common with him anymore. I have more to say to his working wife than him.
