(Hope you know I revere the labels homemaker and housekeeper! Loving, caring dad comes into play there also.) Your "other" job of carpentry and your expertise at it speaks for itself in that you have all the work you can manage. Most importantly, you and your wife are doing the most wonderful and important thing by raising your children the way you are.

As you say it makes economic sense to do it and everyone is happy. I may be putting my head above the parapet here but if more men did the whole role of housework, childcare, finance and meal maker, I think they would realise how important the stay at home role is! Women are still the predominantly stay at home mums working part time.
