Yeah, it took me a while to learn the lingo. Stay At Home Dad. Wife was the more "economically viable" and so THEY decided that he would stay at home and raise the kids, and she would do the "work thing". It almost complete and total role reversal (well, she still HAD the kids, and nursed them). She had to go on "work trips". He has to show up at the "business dinners". The crap they take is unfathomable. She got a some back handed compliment about "how it must be great to be the one to throw their feet back while he does all the work". He gets regular "checks" at schools and kids functions to ensure he is the "real" parent. The mothers don't get checked mind you.

It's a personal decision between the only two that have a say or an interest.
