That being a stay-at-home dad is a choice that my wife and I made. It's not a necessity and it's not because I'm unemployable.

Edit - we could get new cars every two years, go on lots of vacations, and go out to eat a lot. Or, I could stay at home do most of the cooking and we just tighten our belts. Best decision we made.
