I just don't think it's fair to say someone "has never really worked" if they think parenting is hard. I've worked hard jobs. I've worked shitty jobs. I've worked easy jobs. And when I'm home with the kids, especially in the early years, it was fun, but it was tough. not tough, but BUSY. 8 hours feels like 1 hour. not to mention my point above, that all kids are different, and all people have different things they excel at.
To be fair, in that situation, you've also got your work week under the belt as you managed the kids and the household. It all adds up.
I firmly believe raising kids is harder than my job. I don't think it's close.

Don't get me wrong. I think it's extremely challenging.

I was actually referring to when my wife went back to work, we had no child care in the summer, and I was off with them for a time on my own.
but yes, in your scenario, it definitely can lend itself to whiskey consumption and UFC watching.
Last time I lived with a man I provided more than him and he didn't appreciate it. Maybe I should put up an offensive billboard about it, eh?
(honestly, just thinking about the kinds of people who were behind that billboard makes me sick to my stomach. Yes, if someone is providing for anyone else, the one they're providing for should appreciate it. That doesn't at all excuse the meaning/connotations behind that disgusting, sexist billboard. I don't understand why this billboard would even be under debate. Anyone who isn't pissed off at it is a huge sexist)

So I'm still wondering about that sign... maybe we all have it completely wrong... maybe, just maybe the sign is referring to oral sex??? Cause that's really the only thing that makes sense!!
Oh snap... yes I just went there... hope no one is offended, if so Sorry!!
