Paragraph 2

Williams Chan Stay at home Dads

I´m having a great time! When the kids are in school I do housework. Our youngest child goes to school
part-time. When I pick her up I love the one-on-one time with her. Then when my two sons get home
from school we all play together. Why do I stay home?
Well I wasn`t happy at my job. It was stressful in fact.

Paragraph 3

Daniels Evans:
It`s a challenge. We have two young children. They don`t go to school yet. I never have time for myself!
That`s not easy but my kids are growing up so fast. I really want to spend time with them when they`re
young. Also my wife loves her job. I think most stay- at-home dads say the same thing: It`s hard but it`s
worth it.
