I did.  MIL worked full time, starting when DH was 3.  Unfortunately, she also did absolutely everything else.  So, DH's role models for parenting were a father who was a complete slob and never once lifted a finger to help out, and a mother who worked full time and handled all child/household duties.  
When we were dating, he swore that he would never turn into his father, because he saw the toll it took on his mother, and he wanted better for his own family.  I bought that hook, line, and sinker.  Guess what happened?  He works and then uses his free time on computer games and several hobby projects.  He does at least mow the yard, so I guess there's that.  We have a sweet, beautiful DD who loves her Daddy and doesn't understand why Daddy doesn't want to play with her.  I have to be the one to make excuses for him: "Daddy's busy right now."  ALL the damn time.
He wants another kid.  No way is that happening.[/quote]
IMO, most men are selfish and immature, even after baby arrives. They don't want to change their lives to accommodate a child. They think as long as the child has food and clothes, their job is done.  Of course, it's usually the mom who prepares the food and makes sure the child has appropriate clothing.[/quote]
