My husband did contract work, so had NO benefits. I had GREAT benefits, and we knew we wanted more children. For us other options weren't really interesting--because we knew we didn't want to send our son to daycare when he was really little. (I realize everyone makes the decision they need to daycare-wise, but this was ours, and many people just didn't get it!) We've lived in several cities in California and have met a million stay at home dad's here! I think your husband will be in good company. Yes, familiar story there.

My grandmother has such a hard time understanding this concept. She's always suggesting places where he can apply, even though my job will be great regarding income and benefits, etc. I think "dad bringing home the bacon" is merely an old fashioned way of thinking and people are just now learning how to live with it!
