Ya know, I may never want to be a father, but I'd be a happy man if I got to work from home and not deal with commutes, petty office politics, or any other bullshit you have when you cram two dozen people into a cube farm. If I did want to be a father, I wouldn't mind being a stay-at-home dad, either, so long as we're financially able to do so without problems. Now, if you choose to have children and be a stay-at-home parent when doing so is financially infeasible, then I will call your judgment into question, as well as your actual preparedness to be a parent. Money may not be able to raise your kids for you, but you can't deny that it sure as hell helps. At the end of the day, though, its your choice, the same way it is with deciding to buy a monster truck, getting drunk with your buddies, or smoking a blunt, ordering a dozen pizzas, and watching Sesame Street. I may disagree with your choices and/or your reasoning behind them, but I respect the fact that, unless you were forcibly coerced into making said choice, that they're yours to make.
Remember, children: to get respect, you gotta give respect.
