This. A man hanging around the house or doing hobbies all day is going to be incredibly annoying. And most men make terrible SAHDs and homemakers.

I think it's FIRE or kids, but not both. With kids the best you can do is *maybe* coast FIRE when you're like 55, assuming all goes well with your and the kids' health.

The more human beings in the family, the greater the likelihood of a serious health problem or expensive condition. [/quote]

So agree with this. My spouse got cancer and semi-retired 15 years ago. Long story short, we have one child, after his cancer got pretty much cured. My spouse was basically stay home dad, he was eligible for his early government pension. I am working full time. Our household income was relatively low for a long time and it was incredibly annoying to not able to travel, dining out, buying nicer clothes because of our limited income. [/quote]
