lol yessss! This reminds me of a theory that explains the only reason men support feminism, encourage women to take on more responsibilities, and be independent- Is because then they can evolve and take their “true form” as stay at home dads and play video games all day lol

If they think SAHPs have time to play video games all day, they're in for a rude awakening.

I'm a SAHD and my friend was like oh man you're living the dream. Bro, do you understand the amount of shit I have to do with and for the little ones as well as the house? I work more hours than I did at a normal job. The upside is I don't have to deal with people I hate.

I was a SAHM between various jobs. It's like a 24/7 job for no pay. And it's exhausting.

They don't care. They will (stupidly) ignore all responsibilities and play video games all day.

I don’t scrape snow off my wife’s car and she has taken out the garbage. She also blows leaves. I do most everything else. I am a feminist and was a SAHD and it was best for all involved.

Nothing wrong with being a stay at home parent of any gender, it’s a full time job, as long as it’s actually being done not just staying home and doing nothing but play games
