My son is 5 now. We intend to have more.

I'll probably stay at home forever. Taking care of the house and kids is one way I can show love to my wife. Though we might go into a semi-retired "make video games" mode in a few years (my wife tells me I'm a top-notch tester, and I have pretty good game design sense.)

Hope the next question is not too snoopy - I'm just curious, so feel free to ignore me. Taking care of a 5 year old sounds like far from a full-time job to me (presumably he's in K / pre-K). I have two kids myself (4.5 and 1 y.o) so I have a bit of perspective. What do you do with all the free time?
I bought my parents' old house and spent 2 and a half years cleaning and fixing and renovating. We have a young family living with us, and I spend some time mentoring them and helping with their small child. I handle all the cooking, groceries, yardwork, etc.

I also run a competitive gaming site (with my wife and another friend): http://descentchampions.org/
