I, for one, would like it, and I think I'd like it more than my wife. My personality is well suited to being a stay at home parent. I like chaos, and I like working with my hands. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of reduced-hour programming jobs, and our financial situation isn't such that one of us can be full-time stay-at-home. Another thing is that it's awkard for breast-feeding women to be away from their babies for long times, and formula comes with its own set of problems.

You can do consulting part time, or go indie, then you can work as much or as little as you want. As a programmer you really have a lot of options. Or adjust your lifestyle to not need to earn so much. If you really want to stay home, there's probably a way to make it work.
