I would have no problems staying home with the kids, as long as either I
could be working while I was home, or I could work at night after my
wife got home.  (No, I'm not married -- this is hypothetical.)   I just
don't think I would feel right not earning a salary.  Even if it was
just a little something, like being a systems programmer for a college,
or doing some independent consulting on a part-time basis, I'd still
like to do some work for pay.  However I wouldn't mind taking care of
the kids when I'm home.
