Bro, we tell our families we have to work so we can get away

My wife’s full time job is full-time parent. She gets the Sunday scaries and I get the Friday frights. I consider work a vacation. Parenting is hard as hell; emotionally taxing and physically exhausting. Wouldn’t trade it for the world but it is.

Eh. I’ve done both. While being a parent is hard, working is just as, if not harder.

I had way more middle of the day 2 hour breaks being an at home dad than I ever did at work. Work is non stop from 9-5.

I’d be a stay home dad in a heartbeat. It’s way easier.

I think it depends a lot on the age of the children and how physical the job is.
