I can't take seriously anybody claiming that being a stay-at-home mom is hard. I had some overlap time where I still had a bunch of leave to spend but my wife wanted to work another month, and it was a blast.
Sure you change a lot of diapers and clean bottles, but you also take the kid out for walks in the sun and generally hang out all day playing with them and have very few pressing obligations. You can even do the dishes and stuff while they're napping. You have some minor chores, but they don't even feel like chores.
I'd take that any day over dealing with some high-ranking boss's boss breathing down my neck about a deadline and demanding the impossible. At-home moms are complaining about one of the comfiest lifestyles imaginable.

@Type_Other@poa.st Cooking is very comfy way to unwind and gets you delicious meal, yet foids still insist it's something akin to grueling penal labor. I think we need to normalize calling their skill issue. :WakamoStare:

I spent 6 months as an unemployed stay at home Dad for my first born, from month 7 through 13. I wasn't built for it. Woken up multiple times a night and wife was working early hours. It was rough for me
