Relevant video on this topic of stay-at-home dads…As mentioned, there is still plenty of negativity when men do their stay at home parenting thing. I agree that from ages 0-5, I honestly think watching the kids is much harder than work and have done both…
At work, I had a ton more time to “take a break” where with the kids who are too old to sleep constantly, you rarely get a breather. Dealing/working with adults also is easier to me than say a sick toddler or ill newborn. I suppose the stress with sick kids is freakier than some “minor” work issue that is no big deal.
Sorta interesting that women are also criticized for working vs. staying at home.
