Mother Knows Best?

Once while being prepared for a television interview, I was chatting with the host about stay-at-home fathers. I made the point that one reason we’re seeing more stay-at-home dads may be that it’s no longer a known fact that a man makes more money than his wife. Many families now take earning power into consideration when deciding which parent will stay home.

At that point, one of the members expressed his opinion, almost to himself but loud enough for my benefits, “It should be the better parent who stays at home”. A lot of guys say things like that.

I was a stay-at-home father for eight years, so what he said made me excited. It implied that our family’s choice could only have been correct if I was a “better” parent than my wife.

I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the “better” parent: she had spent more time with our son, could read him better and calm him more quickly.
