I agree with deeze a bit, it is quite hard. For my part, I was a single Dad with full custody of three kids so they had to go to daycare. Once I met my wife--she was able to stay home with them but started working when they grew enough to take care of themselves.
That first 3 years is so crucial in a childs development, I really wish I could have been there.
My daughter wanted to stay home and raise her baby (she's 18) and the only way they could do it where we live (40 miles from Aspen in Colorado) was for him to join the service. And he wanted to anyway so it worked out well.
I believe it can be done if it matters but if you are a single parent, its impossible.
