Working Father Of 3 Says His Wife’s Everyday Life Is ‘Easy’ And Mothers Agree With Him

Agreed. My ex-husband once went around the house with a video camera to document how messy it was when I was a stay at home mom with toddlers. Yet, on his days off when I worked, he would send the kids to a babysitter. Yeah, our marriage did not survive.

Is the bar really that low?... but it's similar to another article where a woman congratulated herself for noticing her boyfriend had feelings. What?! Men have feelings too!?

That's so true! My ex-boyfriend was like that. When I was telling him about the paleo diet and carbs reduction or about anything connected with anything he was like "bah, ya dumb". But when his cousin or dad were telling him exactly the same he was coming TO ME and repeating their words as the words of wisdom. His answer for my "WTF, I was telling you literally the same things a week ago" was "it's because you're a woman. Men know better". ._. And why did I let out such a gem remains a mystery...

@sav When you said that, I kept thinking of Ms Congeniality, Sandra Bullocks character running down the list of what should be done to get them into investigating the pageant and Benjamin Bratt chiming in after each suggestions saying "Yeah..yeah! Now I'm thinking!!"

I upvoted because of the second part, about working mothers and 1 salary not being enough. But that doesn't mean it's not that hard, it means she's doing double the effort.

For some of us it is hard because we are battling home life, work life, schooling and depression. It's not that easy. It might be for you because either your kids are old enough to help..they're all attending school..or you actually have a husband that realizes how hard all this is and gets off his butt to help. If you listen to his description..none of these kids are in school and one is still an infant who is breast feeding. When you returned to work..did you do it with a baby latched to your breast? Probably not.

Another unpopular opinion but it depends on the kid, My brother has two boys the first one was a breeze to look after, it was just so simple, his youngest just cries non stop, he plays with a toy can't figure something out and goes in to complete melt down, I only baby sat him for about 3 hours but it was super stressful and I'm not doing it again until he can speak.

I agree it is not. I suppose it can all depend on the person, but I've been a stay at home parent, a work at home parent, a work at home/ student parent, and a regular working parent. By far the easiest job I ever had was a stay at home parent and I had difficult, never sleep, reflux babies.
