MissBHave: I didn't have time to read all the responses but here is my take. I am a stay-at-home dad of 3, soon to be 4 (hence the screenname). No, it is not easy. It does require a lot of work. I did get a part-time job just because I wanted to get out of the house for a mental break (3 kids is much tougher than 1). But, since he is not the father he isn't going to support, or even understand, your view on raising your son. I know some fathers that don't even see that with their own kids. It is also a situation of the grass is always greener on the other side. My wife used to stay home with the kids when we had 2. She used to complain to me how hard it was. Now I am home (with 1 extra mind you) and she tells me how easy it is. Hard to say what you should do but I know for sure it is not easy. Too bad you couldn't switch with your BF for a month and see how easy he thinks it is.
