Ladies, how do you feel about working while your husband stay at home to take care of the kids and home?

Men, how do you feel about staying at home while your wife work?

I want honest feedback -- let's talk it out.

Personally, I wouldn't want to do it just because I wouldn't want to miss that time with my children.

I would love for my husband to do it, for about 2 weeks.

He just recently came to the realization (our kids are 3 and 1) that the kids produce laundry. I don't know how he thought they had clean clothes to wear, but I'm pretty sure he realized that the kids didn't do the laundry themselves. Of course, I hadn't ever ASKED him to do the kid's laundry until a couple weeks ago (I normally just throw it in with mine, but I had already done mine and he was getting ready to do his), so I guess it just never dawned on him.
