[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he make enough to support a family? Most guys don't, so this conversation is a non starter.[/quote]

He does actually, I don’t know specifics regarding #s but, considering where he lives, what kind of car he drives, his hobbies, etc., I think he makes what I consider to be a lot of money (I would guess high six figures).

That’s also why his staying at home is a total non starter. He owns and runs his own successful business. He’s not going to give that up.[/quote]

Basically, he is saying that he wants any future kids to be taken care of by a parent and he is willing to support that financially and emotionally. Sounds reasonable to me.
I am on the other side of this so consider the perspective. 
Never thought I would SAH and then I had a baby-dh and I worked out a schedule. I worked pt and he had his own business and took care of our daughter (now a college freshman) when I was working. When we had baby #2 and then #3, I stayed home for a few years. Best years. 
Back at work now and miss those days. Don't knock it until you tried it but let him know that you are not sure how motherhood will play out for you. 
And we are not a super high HHI family.[/quote]Different poster here.  I applaud you and your dh working this out.  But the difference is that you worked it out together.  OP's guy sounds like he wants to dictate the terms.[/quote]
