The househusband thing came about in an odd way. I used to drive long haul truck. After way too many years of it my wife demanded I quit and to prove she meant business she had gotten a job while I was gone. After the kids moved on she decided she liked the pampering having me at home provided and didn't want to change that and since my own view of myself has never been job dependent it doesn't bother me a bit. The kilt angle has been fun for her the last year and a half. She gets to tell people she wears the pants in the family.
