Can´t believe you ask that question in 2015.

Of course there are, lots of them.

They absolutely exist. A friend of mine does exactly this. No (paying) job whatsoever, in fact. He takes care of the kids and house, his wife brings home the paycheck.

This isn't unusual at all anymore.

My best friend was doing this since 1999. Two of those kids are adults now (one out of college). But there's still two more.

Of course they exist. I found myself out of work and in that role when my daughter was between the ages of 1 and 2. It could become boring not having an adult to talk to throughout the day, but it was an amazing opportunity to bond with my daughter. And I'm by far the better housekeeper as compared to my wife.
