Just on the SAHD point: make sure you can get blocks of guaranteed uninterrupted working time. My experience of working at home is that it's very, very difficult to achieve anything when switching between Dad and Worker roles, and kids don't understand that at all.

On the SAHD score: even more dangerous are stay at home mothers who might hit on you for some company. Getting roped into various kindy / school related activities, etc.

Unless you can manage with very little sleep, your productivity is in dire danger from disruptions.
