I'm a half stay at home dad ...
My wife and I both have fulltime jobs, but both also work out of our home. I develop software for my own company and she does outreach with junior and senior high kids. As you can imagine, our schedules are really flexible.
With the exception of my mom coming one day a week, my wife and schedule our away from home work commitments around each other so that one person is always home.
I love the extra time I get to spend with my daughter, vs those that must commute to work and spend 10-12 hours away from home each day. It is the small day to day time where you really get to watch your children grow up; I feel like I miss very little being at home so often. Of course, that will be less important when the kids are in school all day.
