I've been B (although DH has always worked). Now I'm A and much happier. I did make my husband sign a post-nuptual agreement when I quit, however.

B with a fabulous nanny and/or highly involved grandparents. The DH is sort of irrelevant.
Men make terrible SAHPs IME. And nearly all of them are terrible parents to kids under 5ish.

If DH was a wonderful SAHD, b. I'd be thrilled. I have no desire to stay home.

Op - I think you have to assume that both jons are not extraordinarily awful and can be done by the person without undue hardship

Definitely B.
As long as the marriage was happy and the DH was truly a good SAHD to the kids.
I’d probably prefer DH had a PT job/gig or intensive hobby/interest etc. for his own happiness though….at least once the kids are preschool age +.
I have a friend in this type of situation and her DH has been a great SAHD (and a great cook as well). Cleaning has always been outsourced. He has always had a PT gig that he loves he loves but doesn’t make much $.
