Freddie Prinze Jr. "Loves" Being a Stay-At-Home Dad, Says Sarah Michelle Gellar

Freddie Prinze Jr. is getting plenty of daddy-daughter time now that wife Sarah Michelle Gellar is busy shooting The CW's Ringer.

"He loves it. We fight over who gets to stay home," Gellar told Us Weekly Wednesday of her stay-at-home husband. "You'd think it would be the opposite, that the parents would be like, 'No, I'll go to work!' but he's like, 'You stayed home for two years! It's my turn!'"

"He and Charlotte have too much fun," added Gellar, who was lending her support to military moms through Operation Shower with Pottery Barn Kids in Pacific Palisades, Calif. "I'm jealous!"

The 34-year-old actress admitted that it can "be really difficult" balancing her career with motherhood. "It's hard to see Charlotte's little face when you say you have to go to work. It's sad!" Gellar, who gave birth in September 2009, told Us. "But you make time for everything. You work it out."

Wednesday's event gave Gellar an opportunity to meet expectant wives of military men who may be deployed or are about to be deployed; Pottery Barn Kids surprised each of the attendees with brand new cribs.

"You stand next to these women and you realize how much they have to sacrifice," Gellar realized. "It's hard enough to have your partner, your spouse, go to work every day, but can you imagine? They don't know if they'll even come home or what condition they'll be in. And they're sacrificing all this for us."

Gellar said her little girl was inspired to help out, too. "She wanted to donate this morning! I explained what I was doing and she said, 'I'm going to give them a stuffed animal!'" the actress told Us. "For a two-and-a-half-year-old to give up a stuffed animal, that is a big deal!"

It seems his point of view has changed recently. I just read this article:

Being a stay at home parent really isn’t easy. Yes, I get to slack around the house in my pajama until 2pm in the afternoon and go days without wearing make-up but it gets embarrassing when you have to open the door to the Fedex man and you still haven’t put a bra on. Freddie Prinze Jr. knows what I’m talking about.

Sarah Michelle Gellar‘s unemployed half is apparently so fed up with being a stay-at-home dad that he’s ready to venture out the real world and kick-start his career again with some new opportunities. But where is he going to get them? Really.

According to the National Enquirer, Freddie is done staying at home and watching football in his pajamas all day while his wife pulls in the CW network paychecks to help support the family. They put it like this:

“Sarah wasn’t happy when Freddie started auditioning again, and she was livid that he got a starring role on a new series.”

“Sarah stayed home for the first year and a half, but since Freddie wasn’t booking any solid acting gigs after “24,” she took the role in “Ringer.” Now she’s bent out of shape because their plan was always to have one non-working parent raising their daughter.”

“While Freddie loves his daughter, he’s just sick and tired of 24/7 baby duty.”

I'm not sure the National Enquirer can be trusted with that kind of information, for they are real good at making stuff up....
 
Well the first one is adorable, but mainly because Charlotte wanted to give up her stuffed animal to help! I agree, that is a big deal to such a small child. What a cute little girl 🙂
 
Well I don't know how much I'd trust the National Enquirer, but I can see why it might bother Freddie to be a stay at home dad. He had a pretty good movie career in the late 90's and early 2000's, so I can understand if he'd have the itch to start working again.
