Stay-at-Home Dads
Anyone who knows me even a tiny bit, knows that I am a promoter of entrepreneurialism. The subject of making and saving money has always held great interest for me (my mom said I was even starting to show signs of being an entrepreneur from the time I was 4 or 5).
More than individual entrepreneurialism, my husband and are strong advocates of family businesses. We believe that entire families should be working together to contribute to the economy of the home. This does not necessarily mean that every family will have their own business (Though I don't think that's a bad idea, you can learn so many beneficial skills and lessons from doing so, even if your business doesn't turn out to be too successful!), I do believe that every member of a family should be seeking to do all they can to contribute to the family, under the direction of the father.

You're title threw me off their for a minute. I thought you were going to address the touchy subject of Daddy staying home while Mummy works! lol
My Dad has always worked from home: six years as a pastor and the last eight as a farmer. I see how long my sister's hubby is out all day working at a normal desk job and I realise how lucky I am to have my Dad popping inside for lunch. There really is a stronger sense of family when the boys can help Dad with work and us girls get to cook for them and see them off and on throughout the day.
I also thought the post was going to be on mother and father switching Biblical roles.

:) I always like to keep you on your toes. Expect the unexpected. :)
Another fun title might be: "Stay at home, Dad." Thanks for the link.
I don't know. My husband worked from home last Friday because we had an ice storm and I really didn't like it. (He is able to work from home from time to time when he is sick or the weather is bad.) The biggest problem was that he worked until 8pm. I was missing him more at home than when he is away. George was also a big distraction to him.
I have also talked about benefits you get working with a company as opposed to home.
