Stay@home - The decline in stay at home parents.
It used to be the only option. Now only a small minority of parents choose to stay at home to raise children. Stephanie Ockhuysen reports. Michael Ainsworth highly recommends being a stay-at-home dad and believes more men should give it a go. The Taranaki man says it made him a happier and has given him perspective. “I remember seeing ladies with their prams catching up at cafés and I would instantly turn my nose up and think ‘these women, all they do is get together and talk about s.’ but now I ve been a stay-at-home dad I realise that there is a huge longing for adult conversation because you ve got these toe rags hanging off you 24/7. “
