Oooh, that could be a controversial point of view.
I've done a fair bit of the stay-at-home dad thing and I found it HARD. There something unremitting about dealing with the demands of small children while trying to keep the house clean and food on the table (and while my office life was all about getting rid of repetitive tasks, stuff like cleaning and cooking just has to be done again and again, which I found very hard to deal with).
I used to look forward to the days I went to the office; they were like days off.
No, I would never say that "staying at home with the kids" was the easy option.
- randlet 13y agoVery much agreed. For me staying home with my kid is much harder than going to work. It is boring, repetitive, frustrating...mentally draining.
- poorelise 13y agoMaybe you should do more fun things with your kid? You could even leave the house together with the kid. A further step might be visiting other people with kids, leaving the kids to play with each other and their parents with time to drink coffee and chat in the kitchen. Or get an iPad.
