Now the economy went down the drain, and business is not good, I'm contemplating on finding work again by the end of the holiday season.<br>Its hard to be a stay at home dad, as I work from home and do all the household chores at the same time. I still pay for more than 75% of the family expenses, as my wife doesn;t earn much compared to me. What would I give in this world just to have a nurse as a wife !!! those guys are f___n lucky as hell!!!

I have to imagine in Silicon Valley, what you do/work is who you are, that the role reversal for men can be especially hard. I have read that studies have shown (and from some personal observations), that men (in general) tend to more personally identify themselves with their work (which is not necessarily a good thing for themselves or society as a whole).
