[quote=Anonymous]I hope (as does DH) that DH will be a SAHD or at least go PT once our oldest is in kindergarten. I really worry about social isolation he'll encounter. Not so concerned about stigma because, honestly, if anyone judges my husband because he's a FT parent then screw them. But, for example, there's a Moms Club I joined when I had DD1 and I remember all the hand wringing that went on among the members when a SAHD applied to join. I felt really bad for the guy. I suspect a lot of it is rooted in concerns around something unseemly possibly devloping - or at least the perception that something inappropriate is happening. But I also get that women may feel less comfortable breastfeeding, for example, with a man around (whereas in my moms groups women regularly breastfeed quite openly). Anyway, I don't have an answer, OP. But it's an area of concern for me as the wife of a future SAHD. [/quote]
