Wife has a better career, you gave up yours so she didn't have to? Do you bottle feed but wear a device to imitate breastfeeding so the wife doesn't feel completely left out by only pumping? AND do you wear manpris while vacuuming?
I'm actually from a pretty wealthy family, so I manage odds and ends of family business at home. That gives my wife a chance to build her career while I take care of our son.
I don't wear manpris but I do rock the occasional pair of man slides.
I'm a PhD student who will be finishing coursework just before the baby comes. My wife has the better career at the moment, and I collect my stipend to do research from home. It's as ideal a time to introduce a new member to the family as any!

Well, here I am. Before I answer all you questions specifically I would like to say that at this time I am not a stay at home dad. It is really a dream I have had for a handful of years now. You also made an assumption that stay at home dads don't have a job, which several posters have already made not of.
I would be more than happy to give up whatever career I had to support my wife even if my career was better. She is very passionate about what she does so I would have no problem filling a different role. If I have the pleasure to become a stay at home dad I will firstly try to create my own breast milk so I can actually breast feed. Since chances of that are low we would like to keep breast feeding as a special mommy baby time, so I would use bottles and bring the baby to her whenever possible to feed.
I do not like the style of manpris but if I could find a pair of pants I could roll up hipster like I would go for that first. I also don't really like polo shirts but would be more than happy wearing a pink shirt. I think the overgenderization of colors is a little absurd.

Ah Kitty...I knew it was only a matter of time before you tried to start sh!t on this board. Lovely as always.
So it looks like kitty outstayed her welcome on some other boards?
Definitely not. FB is much more fun. I came with an honest welcome for the dads and kick it up a notch but clearly I'm among a few prudes. I wonder what the dads vaginas will look like after the babies births....... F*ck, I wonder what some of them look like now....
I am a veteran of the Marine Corps and my darling wifey is a full time lead in the Fraud Prevention department at her work place. For us it works. Plus I still get a paycheck and I am also with our boy.

Nice! I have a son joining the USMC - goes Parris Island the end of this year.
Same story here...my wife makes more and my job is an hour away, so it would pay for daycare and gas and nothing else. This way I can be home with our son and maybe freelance write. No man capris or pink here, just Tigers tshirts and Zeppelin in the background. Good to meet you all, by the way!
Re: How was it decided that you'd be SAHD's?
So.........? I don't think you completed your thought pumpkin.
And is there not one here that is a SAHD? That is his screen name. So if there is one of you, there may be a few. Am I mistaken?
And I bet you do wear manpris. And I bet you wear a pink polo with it too.
Very nice! I love man slides! MH wears them too.
Not still funny. It's Olive Garden or Uno's and you're buying now for your spaghetti crack.
And I like to drink so pony up your wallet sally.
Unpossible is a lady........so.....
I'm pretty sure she has no hair on her chest!!!
