That's when I started driving a school bus, no more worries about looking for work or day cares. Always home with the girls Holidays and summer breaks. Oh and it lead to many openings to trap on farms on my routes!!~

When my kids went to school my wife went with them. She became a teacher assistant. Her job was what carried us when I was not able to work. PTA Lifetime #131N.

I'm tired of beating up my body at work, and it's just a paycheck for me, I have no passion fo what I do. I'm good at it, but it's just a job. Wifey's got a job at a youth rehab center (basically a kid's prison), something she's very passionate about, that pays about the same with similar benefits, and room to move up the ladder as well. So while Wifey's out earning a living, I'll be here teaching the kids and doing all the house-husband stuff. I'm excited for it Are there any other t-man stay at home dads? Win-Win, enjoy your new life!!

Lugnut trapper L Joined: Dec 2006 SEPA	Originally Posted by Jurassic Park A big reason why I became self employed was to be home with the kids more. Show up for them at school activities and help out with the raising of the kids. It’s worked out quite well! One of the perks of being self-employed was that I could set my own hours. Over the years I was able to get the kids off to school in the mornings when my wife had to leave early to go to work. It became a special time for all of us (three daughters and and two grandkids). We'd go out 15-20 minutes early and play with the dogs or play catch or swing, anything they wanted to do while we waited for the bus. I'm so glad I had that opportunity. Loosegoose, I hope it works out for you. Eh...wot?

I did get a night janitor job when the second one was born though to get a little more money in. Being there with the kids was great, do it all over again if I could. It was nice never having to have someone else raise the kids, they turned out really good too
