Well, Dom had his swim & gym class this morning and I was talking to one of the fathers of a little boy in his class...He was soo nice, and it ends up he's a stay at home dad! I have never met a man that stayed at home while his wife worked, it was interesting. He was just like one of us, talking about bringing his child to school, naptimes, wiping his hands all over his shirt, etc...lol. Just thought I would share that with you guys, its pretty rare where you see the dad staying at home, wish my husband did, lol ;-)

thats great to see Kate!

I wish more men would do that if thier wives really wanted to work, as an option to a daycare that they are uncertain of. I have to laugh, because he must be really patient, I dont think my dh could stay home with dd wothout losing it for that long lol.

Some very close friends of ours are in that situation. She has a great job that affords them the luxury of HIM staying home with their 1 1/2 y/o dd. He does a great job, and they are a really neat couple. Thumbs up to SAHD!!!
