I have no children (not even married yet) but am looking forward to the experience eagerly. My fiance and I have talked about it and decided that we will have probably 2 (possibly 3) children, that I will stay home with them when they are very young (until age 3 or so) while he works, then he will stay home with them until school age (age 6) while I work. Possibilities of the current housewife/husband could be to do part-time at-home consulting or courses in night school. My question is: has anybody out there done this? Are there any real-life househusbands or ex-househusbands out there (or any wives of househusbands!)? My experience has been that every time I mention this plan to anyone (mostly students) they drop their jaw and look dumbfounded. It didn't seem so outrageous to us. Marie desJardins marie@harvard
