Stay-at-home fathers 'up 10-fold'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/8605824.stm


	Quote: The number of stay-at-home fathers in the UK has risen 10-fold in the last decade, a survey suggests. The results of the survey of 1,000 parents suggest around 6% of fathers, or 600,000 men, are now their child's primary carer, up from 60,000 in 2000. The majority of stay-at-home fathers quizzed said the reason for this was because the mother earned more money.

Seems sensible to me. I would do it as well.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Any bets that they will still lose custody in a divorce?

I've been a stay at home dad for 14 months now. (Though luckily I was only unemployed for 5 months.)
