I retired almost ten years to be the primary caregiver for my two young children. I believe my kids have greatly benefited by having me taking care of them as opposed to daycare, a nannie, or even my wife (she declared early on she wouldn't prefer to stay home). I have yet to experience much positive embracing. I have had the police question me, more than once actually, for simply being with them in a public playground and simply walking along a city street. The attitude from my wife has been equally bewildering, as she seems to behave as if I'm getting away with something. Trying to extract money (she makes almost 6 figures) for groceries and living expenses has been a constant frustration. The crazy thing is that this was a mutual decision, she expressed that she wouldn't care to stay at home and she seems to resent me for it. I really feel as if I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. At this point it seems I have to stay in this situation because it has been better for my kids and the alternative would suck for them.
When my kids were old enough to go to school I did in fact get a part-time job working up to 30 hours a week. It's been four years now. I do enjoy it. It's been really good for me. I am home in time for when they get out of school. It's kind of a general role reversal except that I also cook, clean the house, mow the grass, do the food shopping, lift things that are heavy, fix things, get up at night if she hears a noise, shovel snow... still that resentment.
If you want work with children as a men, you are either a pedo or you will receive complain of women that tell you that you don't have enough love, compassion etc do to this. Sick.
In my son's school the only male teachers are: gym, shop, and foreign language. All the primary teachers are women.
I'm not sure how this will ever change, but we need to change the entire elementary school education system anyway. The whole system is antiquated and has no basis in science. It drives me crazy that people are attached to a system that was created by religion just to benefit the religion and they never even think about it, even though it is probably the most important system in the whole country that effects everything and everyone.

No. Being a GOOD mother go young children is both exhausting and hard.
