I did it for a while when my twin daughters were very young. I loved it and I'm very close to them now even though they are grown up (18) and living with their mum (we seperated).

I would be very happy to stay at home and raise the children if it made financial sense, and my partner agreed.
Normal society has always perceived the mother raising the children, but in the 21st century there are no reasons why a house husband could not cope as well.

It's great - kids need a balance and who says care should be provided by the mother - retards and dullards that's who.
I wish I could but my wife turned all sexist and won't go out to work just yet, however, in a year I'm going back to university part-time and will care for my kids when I'm not there.
If mums and dads share the load we won't end up with loads of dopes like some of those that answerered above.

Every couple's unique. However,men naturally have an urge to go out and fend for their families just as women naturally have a maternal instinct. There are a few exceptional situations though that can lead to role reversal and these have to be worked out together. After all, it takes two to make a baby therefore it's got to take two to raise one.

Men are inbred to go out and hunt down dinner and bring it home. Mothers are supposed to be the nurturers and teachers, according to our evolutionary being. That's the way the team was created. Both are just as important, but children need their mothers when they're sick, and their fathers when they're well enough to play ball...

I'd say good for him.. and more power to him! Personally, I'd rather work 12 hour days all week than sit at home with the kids. That's hard and tiring work!
I also love any act such as that that defies those traditional gender roles and stereotypes.

Even better if you can both stay at home and look after the kids.
It is really a matter of what is most convenient for the family, nothing else.

These days it would depend on how it worked out financially.... My mates wife has just fallen pregnant and she is going back to work and he will work part time as she is on a basic of £50,000 with an OTE of £100,000.... he earns £25,000 so it makes sense in that case if you want a better life style.

Def. down to the individual. It depends on what kind of man they are. Some men now want the priviledges of seeing their child grow every day and i say if it works for the family then so be it.
