I'm a stay at home dad. It was quite the change in careers for me as I was a chemist before I "retired". I love it. I have thought about going back to work once my youngest is in elementary school but I don't think it will happen. Life is much less stressful being a single income family. Besides, going back means I would have to limit my vacations. I think we are on our 5th or 6th vacation this year. That would be hard to pull off if I went back to work.

That's the biggest hurdle I think. Once you have a gap on your resume, it is hard to re-enter the workforce even if you have the time once your child starts school. I guess in that way the stigma still exists here out west too. And you're right, I think having one income is much less stressful. I cannot imagine keeping up with life "stuff" for 2 careers, a baby, household etc.
