　　Mother knows the best?

　　Once while being prepped for a television interview, I was chatting with the host about stay-at-home fathers.I made the point that one reason were seeing more stay-at-home dads may be that its no longer a given that a man makes more money than his wife.Many families now take earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home.

　　At that point，one of the male crew members commented, almost to himself but loud enough for my benefit，It should be the better parent who stays home.A lot of guys say things like that.Usually its code for， My wife(read：any woman)is the better parent.

　　I was a stay-at-home father for eight years, so his declaration made me bristle.It implied that our familys choice could only have been correct if 1 was a better parent than my wife.

　　I think men shoot themselves in the foot with this kind of thinking.I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the better parent：She had spent more time with Ry,could read him better and calm him more quickly.And given a choice.hed have picked her over me.But as she was the more employable one.my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.
