Had co-workers say they would never marry someone making more than them. Shit is so weird.
jfc, being a home-husband is the dream, their fucking loss
I had depression before WFH, still have it but at least now I can work with my cat on my lap
Do you pet the cat?
I like WFH but I hated being a house-husband. WFH gives me something to do more than cleaning and cooking and childcare.
Play some games, contribute to opensource, read academic papers. There are a lot of work to do even if you are not employed.
Believe it or not, cooking, cleaning and childcare full time doesn't really leave you with much energy to play games, let alone contribute to open source or read academic papers.
That requires a certain amount of intelligence and interest in those things. No disrespect to those people but it you are below average IQ and make a living in a simple job, you cant just contribute to open source software and read academic papers for a hobby.
I replied to comment that says being house-husband sucks because there are not enough things to do.
Also there are minimal intelligence requirements for reporting bugs or donating.
It shows how stupid and against your own best interests this kind of thinking can be.
I am the full time worker in my family, and happy to be the provider for them. However, I would be a stay at home dad / house-husband so damn fast if my wife got some random job mom making a lot more than me. I do have my priorities in order, after all.
I'd do housework and care for the kids in a heartbeat if my wife made enough.
My genuine theory is that many (if not most) people are emotionally stunted or emotionally immature. You don't get this kind of mentality from someone who is balanced.
Now expand that to every facet of life and you get the world we live in.
Hahahha most of our relationship i made more than his lordship. Now he makes more than me and he hates it. He wants to be a kept man, dammit
Maybe because it is not in realm of possible instead of something they don't want?
There are wealthy women out there, so it is entirely in the range of possibility. My mom's first husband left her when she started making more money as a lawyer than him. It's an ego thing.
