my work is much more strenous, yet he gets paid.

His monetary payment is nothing compared to the rewards you and your 3 beautiful children are reaping by you being home with them.

How right you are. am blessed that my wife has chosen to stay at home with our kids. I have 3 daughters 10, 18months and 3 months. I love them to death, but it's a 1000000x's harder watching them when my wife is gone than here at work. She has to be on her A game 24/7 and has 3 bosses. I only have myself to answer to. At least I can relax when I need to here at work. You need to be commended for doing the most important work in the most important profession - raising your kids.
