- notch656a 5y agoIf his wife doesn't work then the 30m of me time becomes even more costly and even more important to clear. Work is often the only reprieve from a very young child. The first year of our child, my favorite thing in the world was to go to work, no matter how shitty the task. The thirty minute commute alone was orgasmic, without the sound of a screaming colicky child unrelenting during day and night alike.

- wojciii 5y agoExactly. I know this now. I didn't before I had children. Some parenting is fun but most is hard unforgiving work that might or might not reward you in the future.
- makapuf 5y agoThe thing is it's not rewarding in the future, knowing you do hard work for a small being that you love was the reward for me.

- folkrav 5y agoYour wife not working doesn't change that you're the dad when you're off work and would typically (I hope?) be involved in your children's education as well.
- dragonwriter 5y ago> Not if his wife doesn’t work. Marketable work and childcare aren’t the only kinds of work done within a family.
