Family Raise
Unconventional family
Breadwinner
Stay-at-home dad
Start a family

I was raised in what some would call an unconventional family. My mom was the bread-
winner and my dad was a stay-at-home dad. When I tell people, they think it’s totally weird
but for me, it’s normal! In fact, when I turned 35 I decided I was ready to start a family. I’ve
now been married for 3 years and we have just had our first child. Now, my wife is a lawyer
and absolutely loves her job, so, when little Oliver was born, it was easy for me to be like,
you know what? I’ll just stay at home with the kid. Sure, there are days when Lucy comes
home to a burned dinner or a mess in the living room or a hole in the roof (that’s a long
story) but we kinda like it that way!
