My wife made significantly more money, so I quit my job to become a stay-at-home dad. I'm not less manly or a freeloader.

• When my wife and I started having kids, I quit my job and stayed home with the children.
• Since my wife made much more money than me, she's the breadwinner, and I deal with poop and vomit.
• Some people think that makes me "less manly," but I don't regret anything.

My wife is an OBGYN, and when I first met her, she was making significantly more than me each year.

I was an elementary school teacher then and would do my best to help children learn important things — such as reading and respecting others.
