Stay At Home Moms vs. Stay At Home Dads

A good housewife is a godsend and lord knows it’s a full job of its own with kids, but let’s not pretend it’s as hard as some of them make it out to be.

Honestly I couldn’t imagine being a stay at home dad. Im way too antsy as it is, it’d drive me fricking nuts being at home all day. I’d feel worthless.

If you stay at home while the other spouse works, cooking, cleaning and laundry is part of the job description regardless of your sex. If you are of a certain income bracket, you at least need to coordinate the people who will do it for you (housekeepers, food delivery, etc).

Bitching about these things is not healthy or acceptable. If you hate it enough to complain about it go get a job and send the kids to daycare.

I stopped reading the article when she titled herself CEO of the household, I hate that shite.

I give stay at home moms and dads a lot of credit. What they do isn't easy. I love my child to death, but there is no way I'd want to stay home all day every day with him.

I will say, I only know one stay at home mom, I've never heard her complain. Don't know any stay at home dads.

My wife has been hinting at how much she would enjoy quitting work and staying at home even though her daughter (my step daughter) is 13. I would probably resent her to the point of divorce.

Reading the article though, it doesn’t sound like the complaint is about house chores. This particular story is talking about the everyday shite that can pile up on a person. Moms and dads worry about different shite because that’s our make up. Mom's tend to stress out more over little things the kids are doing developmentally, They worry about things that are in the now. Whereas dads worry more about big picture stuff. Kid has a bump on his head and dad laughs and says he’ll be ok. Mom thinks it’s a growth and wants it scanned. It’s just how it is.

True but let's not pretend it is not a job either. Just like a job with a paycheck it comes with its own frustrations and is exhausting.

As a stay at home parent, I don't agree it is the hardest job in the world or valued at equivalent of a $200k salary, but it is shocking how people marginalized your efforts and contributions to your face. You are told you're lazy, don't do anything, should do more, should do it all 24/7 without a break because you do not do anything. When it is someone who has never done it, I've learned to just smile and shut up, only those who have done it "get it".
