You keep tabs on your neighbors kids during the weekday? Why aren't you at work?
You are one of those folks, eh?
a>their kids go to school, thus they are not home during the day. They don't ride the bus with the other kids. They leave the garage in the morning and enter the garage in the afternoon.
b>other kids are riding bikes and playing, theirs do not.
c>they don't trick or treat with the rest of the kids
d>their kids don't ever go outside, period. They have NEVER been spotted playing in the yard. Even when the parents are doing yardwork, no kids present.
My wife taught their kids and the first time she saw them was at school, when she saw the last name.

I quit my job at 60 when hospital went to computer charting.I had another non-computer job lined up and wife suggested I stay home and take care of grandson(2 at time)When he started school dtr in law popped out another one so took him on as an infant.
12 years later I’m the chauffeur,take to school,pick up,ball practice and such.
I do all the laundry,dishes,shopping,some house work and yard work(we have big yard).
NP wife still works but at 70 she has cut back to 2 days a week.
It’s been pretty good but I wouldn’t have liked it when I was younger,say 40’s.

I'd have to have some sort of part time job to keep me busy a few days a week. Used to work 3&3 offshore and by the end of that 3rd week at the house I was ready to go back to work

This is the OT, which is a message board centered around one of the most blue collar parts of the country where there is massive upward mobility in the industrial sector.
There are probably so few stay at home husbands that post here that they are our unnumbered by the posters who actually have stay at home husbands. Which is to say less than 5.

I was for a while cause my wife had insurance when our first kid was born. She worked from home, so was able to take breaks to breastfeed, which was great.
My son and I have a great bond, and he trusts me 100%, so that’s a good aspect of it. It taught me a lot, too. How to get and hold a kids attention, how to take enough off my wife’s plate so she wouldn’t be drained.
But, if you have the option you should aim to be the provider and sue the one staying at home even if you have to take a pay cut. There were times when I just couldn’t console him and he needed mom. Looking back I don’t think that is fair to either of them. Not to mention when the kids wake up at night teething, they 100% want mom. The lack of sleep is the biggest strain on a working mom and why I think all new moms should stay home for at least a year or two.
Women think they prefer their career until the kid arrives, then she turns from just your wife into a mom, and that kid is, or should be her priority. If it isn’t, then you might have chosen poorly.

The argument for one staying home doesn’t make much sense to me. My wife stayed home for 6 months after our second. Daycare is $16k/year for two kids She makes $80k/year. You don’t save money by staying home
It’s not about money, man. It’s about you raising your own kids. You know, the way it’s supposed to go.
Your kid isn’t supposed to be in some damn day care with 100 other screaming infants all day long. You should do some research on kids who stay home with one of their parents vs. being subcontracted out to a “caregiver.” It’s night and day, and a huge reason why our society is so fricked up right now.
Under no circumstances should a kid be in day care. You have no idea what your kid is being exposed to.

We go to a pretty good daycare and my kids love it.
It also allows both of us to work which provides the means for making a better life for our kids.

I work from home, but still bring in a very good income. The old lady goes into the office and also brings in a very good income. We only have a 16 year old left at home. I took over the cooking duties. We have a cleaning lady that comes erry two weeks. I do the dishes, the old lady does the clothes washin'
I refer to myself as a throphy husband.

Sorry, but more stuff, a bigger house and car doesn’t make a better life. It just means you have more shite that ultimately doesn’t really matter.
What give your kid a better life is your and your wife’s time, love and attention.
Why do you believe that your child only deserves your love and attention for a few hours per day?
And why do you think that someone else could replace that?
Do you know all the people who work there and fully trust them? Would you trust them to live in your house or borrow your car for a day? If your answer is no, is your child not worth more than those two things?

I know a guy that’s a stay at home husband and the strange thing is, his last kid just graduated and he has no plans on getting a job.

This fricker isn't even married, much less a dad, but he's got all the answers. So cute
