I have to admit the concept came as a bit of a shock, the idea that I could litteraly 'stop working' blows my mind. So I turned first to my greatest ally, the internet, and found your website. After reading about your dream, I wonder if becoming a househusband is realy the thing for me, it's a hell of a choice isn't it? on the one hand I'd get to spend more time with my two daughters who I barely see during the week as I'm a teacher in a private academy working all afternoon, with the added plus that I, well, I wouldn't be working. On the other hand I am afraid that I would lose the little masculinity I have managed to scrape together over the years, being something of a pc nerd, plus I worry what affect it would have on my mind. I don't have many friends I can talk to about it and would seriously welcome any sage words of advice you could offer. Even if I choose not to be a stay at home dad, I am still very encouraged by people like you who have the courage to break away from strict social conditioning and follow thier dreams. sorry for the lengthy reply Greig Hi, I’m not a ‘HouseHusband’ but I have recently been presented with the idea by my wife who thinks it would be better for the family financialy if she did more hours and I stayed home and looked after the house and kids.
