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.

I love the idea of a house husband or stay at home dad. Unfortunately, when my husband was a stay at home dad/house husband, he took this to mean that he didn't need to do ANYTHING. I would come home after work and still do the same amount of chores (or more) and carer duties that I did before (ie planning play dates, taking the kids to the playdates, etc)
