Intro
In some families, one parent is the breadwinner. The other parent stays home with the children. In the past, men usually went to work while women stayed home. Now, many families have a role reversal.
A stay-at-home dad is a father who is willing to take care of the kids and house. It’s a dream job to some fathers, because they can do it in pajamas. Other dads don’t want to do it, because being home makes them stir crazy.
