[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know one who was a teacher.  He was a SAHD when the kids were earlier than school age.

Almost forgot my bff's dh.  She's a law firm partner.  He's a computer programmer.  He stepped back to part-time when the kids were born, so he was their primary caregiver.  Her mom helped out too, but the dh did most of it.  [b]He would work at night and on the weekend. [/[/b]quote]

So he SAH with the kids and works nights? Wow[/quote]

Yep.   He worked for a small consulting firm and did specialized programming.  His boss was happy to take whatever hours he would give him.  My friends mom helped a lot when the kids were infants, but she stepped back after the first year each time.

I have some other friends who married cops and fireman, and those guys were also pretty hands on, as their work schedules often left them free during the work week.  I don’t think it had a career impact in those cases, but they did intentionally keep the kids home instead of using daycare.  [/quote]
