No one respects a Stay at Home father ...

If the mom is making more money than the dad, then it makes logical and financial sense for the dad to stay home if they can live without the extra paycheck. What's the problem with that?

I'd have less respect for a father that causes his family to suffer financially because he insists that his higher-earning wife stay at home and not work because his ego is too big.

Because money is the most important thing in life and trumps everything else...

I agree with you, but most of society doesn’t.

What if the higher-earning wife and the lower-earning dad agree that money isn’t everything and that Mom being at home is more important to the kids than Dad being at home. Or that Dad’s job means more to the world than Mom’s? Just food for thought. There are more reasons that Dad’s big ego that a lower-earning husband would continue to work while the higher-earning wife stayed at home.
