		From a Dad's View David answers your questions Question: When I became pregnant with our now two year-old, my husband decided to take time off and stay home with our son. I am a marketing manager and my career has kicked into high gear. I love it. Now my husband seems jealous of my success and it's put a strain on our relationship. He actually said that it's time for him to go back to work and for me to stay at home with our son. Help?! Answer: Oh. That's bad. Sounds like he's feeling left out and left behind. A real unspoken problem with stay at home dads. Tell him you need his support and depend on him. Let him know you support him and will as he gets his career on track again. His dark mood may be an overreaction. Review the goals and reasons that set you off on your current stay at home dad path. Be very clear about what you're trying to accomplish. Men tend to be very goal oriented and without a regular schedule to orient him, well. . . . His competitive juices may be flowing and he doesn't quite know how to direct himself.
