Most men wouldn't do it, because they'd be too busy whining about how hard they work, and they need a BREAK when they come home, dammit!
Most men would sooner slit their throats than stay home with their kids -- it would drive them batty. (Bond, schmond...)

I don't buy it. Mrs. Wonk works at home as a freelance writer, but she has a much more limited schedule than I do. Nonetheless, when I get home, I bathe the monster, help him with his homework, help with the laundry, etc.
I get the kids breakfast in the morning, and when I am home for dinner, I either cook or do dishes.
While she undoubtedly does more around the house than me, I would put our effort when I'm home at 50-50.
I would think at some point all this generalization would get tiresome. I'm not dumping on you, DTB. Yours just happens to be the post I decided to respond to.
