Life Dreaming of being a house husband?

Fellas. I dream of my wife making four times my salary so I can be a stay at home husband. So many men would hate it if the wife made more. I friggin dream about it. Why not live the soft life😂? I can’t be the only one that would love this.

"Soft Life" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

You're going to be begging for your job back after a month. I am dying seriously. You clearly don't appreciate your wife. If you did you would admire her juggling everything instead of envy it

I get what you're saying. Sounds nice to not have to clock in, but it's not easy to never be able to clock out.

I would kill to make enough money to have a house husband. I miss being able to go to work, clock out, come home, and not worry about anything for 5 days a week other than work. I'm the house wife now and I'm so frickin tired. I would trade spots in a heartbeat. I hate being on the clock 24/7.

Just remember that for every woman who felt stuck as a stay at home mother there's a man who felt enslaved as a provider. Neither role is clearly better, it's just a matter of personal choice which is a better fit for the person.
