The rude awakening will make reading papa-feminista so much more interesting!

My husband would stay home in a skinny minute. With me pursuing a ph.d he has a bit at bringing home the bacon but soon the tables will turn and he will be at home. I think he has this image of what its like at home. He will be in for a rude awakening.

My inlaws still seem surprised and talk about the fact that I volunteered to take a day off of work and stay at home with my sister-in-law when she had her first baby. She still talks about how she was able to take a nap and a shower and how I drove her to Walmart.

Weird.

My wife was making a fair amount more than I was when we were trying to get pregnant. She also works for a great company. We talked pretty seriously about me staying home and working part time. Then I got a big raise while she was pregnant and her company let her go to part time without cutting her hourly wage. 3 1/2 years later, I’m still stuck doing the 40 hours a week. I’m not sure about the “average” husband, but I would sure love being home with the kids a lot more than working in the office. The work is harder but I enjoy it more.
