Now that my wife is the bread winner for the family, I really like kidding her with this term. It isn't entirely accurate if you consider I'm just more of a "house husband" than a trophy.
In the month or so that I've been unemployed I've made a lot of strides coming into my new role at home. I'm still on the job hunt, but with the economy as it is, I'm not putting a lot of stock into being able to land a job that would either reverse the role or make it easier to be working when baby comes.
I do keep busy. Running a home is a full time job as I am finding out. I can't imagine how some people (my wife and I included) can pull it off without being home all the time. No wonder cleaning services are still in high demand.
Aside from just cleaning and laundry, I also have been devoting time to developing my music skills and working in my woodshop. Both of these are passions of mine and I'm blessed that I can put myself into them. The good thing is that I can offer lessons on guitar and ukulele and build things to sell online. So, income, albeit small and infrequent, is still there. Who knows; with time and effort these may turn into full time jobs themselves and get me and my wife closer to getting ourselves out of the suburban rut.
