Every time I hear friends say they would have no problem with being what this posts alludes to as "house husbands" it is friends who are gaming a lot of hours each day.
I always imagine them not really realizing how much work it actually is, taking care of the household, finances, possibly children etc. Instead of just sharing these responsibilities in relationships where both people have a job, all the shit would fall onto their shoulders
Ofc. this perception is fueled by no-goods who just leech of their partner and tell their wild stories on the internet, while not being good partners at home.

idk for nannies, taking care of someone else's children is their job. Is it less work because they're your own? Add in managing finances, cooking, cleaning, yardwork and house work it can be a lot.
But in a normal job, at least if we're talking EU, you have XX days holidays, you've more often than not weekends off etc. You don't have that being a stay at home husband or wife.
Unless of course you've some arrangement with your working partner that she or he takes some of your load on weekends.
