有关女性“投身于”事业的讨论称得上铺天盖地,克莱说,他希望看到更多讲述男性献身家庭的故事。差不多三年前,在房地产市场暴跌后,克莱关闭了自己日益不景气的公司。此后,他便承担起照顾家庭的重任。
So for Clay, this is one of those stories.
因此,对克莱来说,他的故事便是一个这样的故事。
Clay never anticipated being a stay-at-home father. Seeing his business succumb despite his best efforts to keep it going was sad and stressful for both of us.
克莱从未想过自己会成为一名全职爸爸。尽管他使出了浑身解数,但仍未能保住自己的公司,这对我们两个人来说都是既伤感又沉重的一件事情。
But when I was offered a promotion, he encouraged me to take it, even though it involved frequent travel and would require him to become a full-time parent. Our daughter was 4 years old at the time, and he felt he could do the greatest good for the family by being there for her—and for me.
但是,当我得到了一次升迁机会的时候,他却鼓励我接受这个机会,尽管新岗位需要频繁出差,而这要求他不得不成为全职爸爸。我们的女儿那时候四岁,克莱觉得最有利于这个家庭的选择就是陪伴在她身边──也陪伴在我身边。
Although society has progressed in its acceptance of stay-at-home fathers, Clay feels that outside of larger urban areas, including in parts of our small town, traditional attitudes remain more entrenched.
