It’s not a job that I could do, but more and more fathers are taking on the role of “Mr. Mom” and deciding to become stay-at-home dads.
More than 150,000 men in the United States are full-time fathers which is triple the number from just 10 years ago.
They come from all walks of life professionally, ranging from businessmen and computer technicians to bartenders and soldiers.
They have one thing in common: wives who make enough money to support the family, so the dads can stay home and take care of the kids full-time.
I’m impressed with these men and with their patience and dedication to their families, but I don’t think I could do what they do. I love my children but really like the world of business. I’d miss being in the middle of big-time deals too much if I gave up the boardroom for the playroom.

Interesting, I definitely believe fathers should play a part in their childrens lives but not necessarly being their moms. It could be that most men who end up staying home with the kids are simply junged wrong (into it etc.) or haven't founnd what they love to do. Women may not always like it but children need two parents. There's something connected with the man being the provider. Mainly, he was created that way. I'm not against women working and making lots of money. NO never! But for a healthy marriage relationship be watchful of the roles that are being played. I'm also not really into the estrogen scene meaning I have a healthy masculine side as well as feminine. Meaning I have a balance. Females take inventory. I say females because women have a balance. Females don't!
Men need a balance. However, when a man is taken out of the business world and placed in the home, his feminine side can become more dominant and that can be disasterous to any relationship. Women should never run the relationship and guess what all you church people? I'm NOT church.
Remember when the children are grown you only have your spouse. Unless you have chosen not to have a lasting relationship.
There are those who have contracts. Which is fine. Once that contract is up or you're bought out of it, YOUR time is up. Period!
However, if you have not fulfilled your contract or violated your contract in any way, YOUR time is up.
But, if you intended on haviing a lasting relationship, the spouse should be the main focus through your whole life time. If not, you lost it. So, for women who make a great deal of money and your men don't, be watchful of what your're doing to your marriage relationship.
Men who want to stay home with your children be watchful of what you're doing to yourself as well as your marriage relationship.
These days there are far to many men who's feminine side is more dominant thatn their masculine and that's not good. What does a child say? "Is that Daddy or is that Mommy?" Children need definite distinct role models. If I see a man who is too feminine I usually keep a distance for the most part. The same for women who are a little to masculine. Are they pulling? There has to be a balance. Men and women have different roles in raising children. It's biological.
Also, if a woman makes more money than a man it should not necessarily effect on whether he should stay home or not. Meaning it shouldn't be manditory. Get a good day care or in home day care. Especially if your are making that much money. Your marriage relationship MUST come first at all costs or you and your children suffer. Of course then you have the couples who never really planned on staying together. Underlying they were never committed and didn't really want to be. Sometimes I think people get married because it's the thing to do or expected. Same with having children. It's what you do. It's expected. Rather than wanted. Did you marry that person because you loved them or because you wanted to procreate. (I like that word. It fits!) Think about it. What's most important in your life.
Me, I AM divorced and love it. I got maried with the intentions on staying that way. However, it came to pass that I was married to the wrong person after about 33 years. Yes 33 years and NO children. A crazy screwed up relationship and thank God it is finished. And yes he initiated it and I just was wise enough not to take him back when he asked.
Now onward and upward to where I am suppose to be.
You see life begins at any age. Never say never and the sky is the limit.
YOU only limit YOURSELF. NOT anyone else. NOT really. They may try and limit you but THEY will suffer in the end NOT you.
Follow your dreams. Remember if you're married and want to stay that way or are considering getting married, it's your spouse who's more important than anyone else OR YOU LOSE.
Unless you have a contract or understanding beforehand
that when wellcome a child a happy protected mom may embrace and feed the child and make the dad part of as quality time to talk to play to fulfill the sacred circle of love that way..after the mom milk important period is over and depend as time frame, than the long term decision
what they love to live the life and how make frame of quality time as family, hmm, that*s fine art..start with find a good nanny, which fit as heartcommunication with the childneeds to the qualify of the domestic labour...whom may trust to let the child secure when work? so mom and dad may decide the future as live they*re passion as live and work
plans for the child from piano to horses to baseball of football or name it! but the reality is different for such a large number of people, how in family the chice for the childsafety is made, child love necesity, parents dreams wishes and efforts that one of them prioritize the partner mutual agreement stay with the child but invest in yourself too, the team timming just they know how they adjust in such a violent world, kidsabuses and others..to did*t touch the rightbalance of financial suport
or familly ideal grandmom*s and granddad*s heartfully dedicated to the little angels. Mr Trump, a secret, to let free on the playground with childrens is to feel like them, well than later when they join into your field, well, you know better what*s mean a football with 3 boys, but my son too knows f.e. about cars new tunning brand, more than I :). Hmm, about playground generally spoken, is not just to give to the child is about give to yourself a bit, just a bit! why not?!Have a great Big Week!

As for agriculture, please pay attention to last years projection, and next year possibility "with a real" consideration, to price stability. Coors dont price gauge, nor anyone just prosper, profit, go green, balanced tax. Inspectors that went to Mexico, and Senator Richardson, please permit, only products the US needs. Smart Choices, Quality.
I understand the questions about trade projections, cost and repercussions, thank you to the ambassador that met with Bloomberg,
i understand the .54 tariff, i would like a day or two to think about this.
Australia would like an answer, we are not cutting all purchases from China, just making smarter choices. Trade with Mexico is not to add competition to "processed American products". Australia coal is, ok, we just need the "tech" to clean the smoke.
Mexico trade is not to line the shelves in competition with American brand products, the easy in trade was to assist, farmlands in Mexico, to improve the land, and increase production of food around the world. If we learn how to balance farm trade with out subsidy, then we can merge into productions.
I am not going back on any promises, the first few months, just agriculture, processed products will -eventually be allowed in moderation.
Regulators, Congress Senate, please be active in issues you would like to be proactive to help the system. Dont waste time. I am very curious how the boarder was opened, and who opened this.
Although I am more concerned with time, And I think the quickest way to implement an action before it creates another flood, Mrs. Clinton do you have more access to information on the deals taking place in regards to the trade with Mexico. American investors I hope nothing stupid took place, hence my panic yesterday. And we dont want a repeat of the financial crisis where they didn't pay back the loans, so terms and conditions the cash stays in American banks, until it is used to for implication. Dont hand cash over, build partnerships with trade, Agriculture first.
Countrywide, since the Bank of America intervention, what where the figures of progress that you have made?
India, please improve the infrastructure with progress of growth, investors be smart with investments in India.
Just wanted to clarify something.
When I was speaking of women being to masculine I wasn't really speaking of tomboys. I like tomboys. I was one (I think) I simply meant women need to remember they are women. Just like I steer clear of high estrogen females I stay clear of ones that are shall we say butch.
Same with men. I love a mans gentle side but steer clear of an intense female side or on the other hand the intense male side. Males are not men and females are not women.
Don't know why I needed to clarify that. Maybe becasue it effects the marriage relationship so much. Lasting relationship.
Thank you Donald. I learn from you every day.
YOU are a master.

One of the biggest problems I hear from other stay at home dads is that they feel a lack of respect from others who still believe the mother should stay home with the kids.
I have tried to change that by starting a site of my own dedicated to helping stay at home fathers feel more comfortable and also have a sense of humor about their new role.
Thanks again

Of course the parent who stays at home misses out.
Anyway, I am very suprised that you said "It’s not a job that I could do" -- Is that a "can't"? My computer doesn't recognize that word. Now, if you said don't want to do exclusively, I would be a little more believing. Legend holds that the Great Donald Trump is invincible and can do anything he chooses.
