What about dads
Why must we make this about dads? Can't we just use this as an opportunity to celebrate moms, something we never do?

According to the results, mom clocks in at 6.23am on average – and she doesn’t stop doing career or parent-related tasks until 8.31pm on a typical day – a 14-hour shift that equates to a 98-hour work week.


This dad clocks in at 5:30 am and gets home at 5:30 pm and kids homework/feed/bathe and then they are in bed at 8:00 pm then I fold one load of clothes every night. So I clock out around 8:30 to 9:00. 100+ work week. Oh and I work been "paycheck working" 55 hrs a week since the beginning of the year.

Is this the study where they equated stay at home mom salaries with salaries of CEOs?

If you give women enough time, they will find things to complain about. This is especially true with stay at home moms.

How do I know? My wife is a stay at home mom with time on her hands to complain.

I celebrate my mom all the time, took her out to dinner the other night, rebuilt the fence around her garbage can rack while I was there

Even with that busy schedule they still find time to bang the lawn guy and the tennis coach

If it’s only 4/10 then that study basically defeated the whole purpose of the article. What do they think a normal job consists of? And most normal jobs don’t get that ridiculous salary they are suggesting.

How come you never hear moms that actually work a real full time job (and not selling shitty overpriced stuff for MLMs on fb) complain as much as stay at home moms?
Because it's obviously easier to be a mom who works, than a stay at home mom, duh.

This applies to everything women do.

Teachers, nurses, whatever. Constantly posting shitty memes about how hard their jobs are, the margaritas they'll need, and the sacrifices they make.

Well the Budweiser report shows that 10 in 10 dads feel like life is a never-ending series of kicks right square in the nuts.

I am pretty sure this is volunteer work since the person they are working for was created by them. However, I am also ok with requiring payment from the kids.

It's just this type of crappy survey that gave us Secretary Day.

Yeah, i’M sure those boys down in the coal mine are thinking, “you know, I face imminent death down here in this black pit of despair that leaves my body bent and broken, but at least I don’t have to make pop-tarts and clean up chicken nuggets after soccer practice. And the difficult Choice of whether to put on bob the builder or peppa pig while I get wine drunk in the afternoon.”

I will say that not all stay at home moms are whinier.

Friend of mine never complains....she knows she has it good. My sister in law never complains either about it.

Good moms work their asses off, so I don't doubt this studies results one bit.
