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.

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.)
