USA Today snapshots for June 14, 2007 reveals some interesting information on the close to 160,000 stay-at-home dads in our country:

60% have two or more children

40% have an annual family income of $50,000 or more

35% have children younger than 3 living with them

All this information takes me back to when I was a stay-at-home dad. I was not making $50,000 or more and I had exactly two kids at home (Both in diapers!). I think more men need to step up to the plate and help take care of the children.

I know there are many men who would hate the idea of staying at home, but sometimes a family needs to be smart and not fundamental when it comes providing for the family. The reality is, women have greater opportunities today to succeed at work.

There is nothing wrong with a man taking care of the kids full-time at home. He can provide for his family by working or staying at home, either way is just as important and masculine.
