stay-at-home dad or consultant?

When we lived in Los Angeles we were well exposed to the joke that every waiter/waitress in town is really an actor waiting to be discovered.

I've found a similar situation with some stay-at-home dads who seem uneasy with that designation and are quick to call themselves a consultant or a trainer or (fill in the blank).  I think staying home with a child is an honorable and important calling and I've never seen any reason for people to minimize it.

Since late July, I've been a stay-at-home dad, although i really didn't start that job in earnest until Mona started working two weeks ago.  Until then I shamelessly slept in while she pretty much did what she's always done, which is almost everything around the house.

It's a hard job which I hope isn't long-term.  But, until I figure out exactly what it is that I want to do I'm not gonna sugar-coat it--I'm a stay-at-home dad.
