I assume you don't have kids. My wife can certainly function without me for a month but can you imagine your partner sending pictures of their trip all over europe while you are cooking, cleaning, getting the kids to school, to bed, etc?
- matt4077 10y agoDepends on age & a bunch of other specifics, which is why I added the qualification. There are myriad ways to organize families and, while I don't have kids (yet), I have good friends who agreed that they would always want to retain can identity as an individual, as a couple, and as a family. They bought a rather large house with two similar-minded couples and share such burden amongst six instead of two. It seems to be going quite well, with the children having input from a diverse set of adults (woodworking with x / literature with y...) while actually reducing the workload (cooking for 11 is less than 3 x cooking for 3). (note I don't disapprove of the more common modes, just saying that I can indeed imagine such things).
