Just show them your post count here. They will see how much you manage to fit in around work.

It’s fine until they are about 3ish then you want to get the social stuff going.

One of the things everyone forgets about having to work outside the home is the vast mental overhead.
Forced interactions with difficult people.
Asking permission to live ones life; vacation, days off, doctor appointments, etc.
Commuting...nuff said.
Small work humiliations that add up over time: pretending to agree with people who have power over you, having to agree with dumb decisions, sitting through worthless meetings, pandering to people who don't have a clue.
I had mostly very good / excellent leaders, but the bad ones were VERY bad. They damaged the organization, and by extension as a senior manager...damaged me.
Your personal peace becomes absolutely priceless.
Leaving work exposes relationships that are genuine, versus those geared to some type of advancement, or not getting laid off.

My wife retired me back in July and I honestly miss working. However it just doesn't work out with my kids school schedule now. They go to school in New Orleans and we'd have to rely too heavily on my 68yr old mom to drive them to the bus every morning and go across the lake every day to pick them up from football or wrestling practice. The freedom is nice but I miss turning wrenches and shooting the shite with the guys in the shop. I have way too many conversations every week with my dog that we're running out of things to talk about.

I’ve grappled with this and have disagreements with my BFF now that we have a young daughter on “my burden” vs hers.
I’m about to take a job that will let her quit her WFH job and be with our little girl until she starts school. I had reservations about it but damn, she carried and shot that watermelon out for me.
I’m good with it. End of the day, it’s pretty easy for me to be a corporate stooge and make a lot of money and yea, sometimes it sucks, but having an immaculate house, all my shite where it should be and never having to worry about food and beer is saying something.
I got lucky with a wife that is type A and kind of loves that shite. She definitely doesn’t vocally acknowledge my tribulations at work the way I would like but at the end of the day this is the dynamic we want and it’s the best for our daughter. Her actions speak for what I might think she needs to say about appreciation for the “money”.
I love hanging with the kid but all the little shite that goes along with it, her gear, bottles, food and shite, no chance I want to deal with it.
Yea, there’s some confusion right now in society between what a man and woman should do but we’ve hit it head on and have come out pretty good with balance at home. We’re luckier than most but we’re also not special. It’s complicated and comes down to communication, or at least the effort. Try your best to acknowledge each other and what they do and things get a lot better.
Have to remind myself my version of “hard work” is basic math, logic and making sure young people don’t do stupid shite and think about what their actions could mean in a large business. It ain’t that “hard”.

Laundry, cooking, and sometimes cleaning a little bit is maybe 2 hours of work and the rest is watching The Price is Right and dicking around on the iPad.

Women see them and it's just a mess of inter-connectedness that overwhelms them and leads to inefficient execution in completing the tasks.

My wife says the hardest part of SAHM is talking to toddlers all day.
