If I could find a woman who could pay all our bills on one wage I'd go house husband in a fucking heartbeat. I'm the better cook anyway.

If you want to make that your personality thats the weird part.

Same! I tell my wife all the time I'd be happy to be a house husband. Unfortunately, like many families, we need to be a two income household.

I work from home and do chores between meetings so I'm kind of both

Are you me? I'm in the exact same situation. WFH has its benefits, but definitely has some downsides.

It's spring break this week so I said fuck it and took the week off. Wasn't even going to try to juggle work and all the kids home.

I do the same thing! It's good for me I'm sure too as I don't just sit at my computer for 8 straight hours. Laundry, dishes, trash, whatever I'll do as needed throughout the day.

I will say though, I've started going out more for lunch as dumb as it sounds. If I eat at home I default to eating at my desk which doesn't help with the staring at the screen all day.
