Ideas come from diverse places. I was recently reading my high school Alumni newsletter, Saint Ignatius Magazine, when I came across an article “Daddy Does Diapers” by Brian Kantz. The article covers the phenomena of men who stay home to take care of the children, while their wives are at work. the “stay-at-home-Dad.”
Kantz estimates that the number of stay at home Dads is around 150,000. That seems low, but it may be difficult for the Census Bureau to collect accurate data.
My prediction — we will soon see bodies of research on this topic. Seems like it would make a great thesis, dissertation, or grant topic, although the low numbers mean it would be difficult to find participants.
