That's pretty much how it reads. Yeah, if she were working locally there might be some question about what I was doing. With my wife being a pilot, I think it's more understandable why I stayed home. Personally, I don't think we should have to justify the reasons a parent stays home. In this case I think it will seem reasonable to most.


1999 - 2005 Stay-at-Home-Dad Phoenix, AZ
Cared for our daughter from birth so my wife, who’s an airline pilot, could return to work.

• Co-founded stay-at-home-dad’s support group.
• Marketed dad’s group to other stay at home dads around Phoenix.
• Organized play groups and dad’s night out events.
• Helped grow dad’s group to over 60 participants.
