I'm saying this as me, my opinion as Matthew having to be as stay at home father, not equating it to mothers who leave their jobs to stay at home.
I can't relate to it either, also probably because I am a guy. This is how my wife feels though, and she feels very fulfilled being a mom and a wife. (at least that is what she says)
