The number of full-time househusbands in the United States depending completely on their wives for financial support is estimated at some 2 million. In the meantime, some 3 million fathers work part-time or have set up home offices in order to have greater freedom to care for their children.
根據估算，美國目前有兩百萬名爸爸全職在家帶孩子，由媽媽挑起家計重擔；另外還有三百萬名父親採兼職或開設工作室方式，讓自己有更自由寬裕的時間照顧孩子。
