My other half likes the idea of being able to "sit around at home all day playing with the kids" but since I started working nights and he's having to do "the night shift" and look after the kids and help out with housework while I sleep, I think he's realised there's a lot more to it than that!
i work nights and still do all my washing cleaning cooking etc aswell as the school run and looking after the kids AND going to the gym twice a week and taking pole dancing lessons lol. I honestly don't think he would cope with all that, the last time the baby kept him up all night he had the next day off work and slept half the day, and I just got on with it even though I'd just worked 3 nights in a row!
It takes a lot more to be a stay at home parent than people think!
