1. Yes

2. Somewhere between the 60m and 10k.

To the other poster who gets angry and doesn’t ask questions. To point out something is easy there must exist the opposite. Merely pointed it out. I’m apologize that me stating women find something hard that some men don’t offends you.

So track not cross country.

Narrow it down for us :)

Here are my AMA questions, FTP.

1. Why didn't you title your thread, "...it's easier than some women say" or, "it's easier than my wife says it is"?

2. Why didn't you title your thread, "...it's easier then some people say"?

3. You suggest that you're into opposites. Great! Do you actually think the opposite of the statement, "I find being a stay-at-home parent easy" is really "Women say stay-at-home parenting is hard"? (Let me answer that: no it's not. The opposite of "I find stay-at-home parenting easy" is only "I find stay-at-home parenting hard." To say that the opposite of your experience is that half the population says it's hard--which, of course, they don't--is so illogical it hurts.)

I look forward to your thoughtful answers to AMA questions 1 and 2.

1. My wife is not a stay at home mother so o can not say that. Using women is a generalization but a necessary one as I have only heard stay at home mothers complain and never heard a male in my experience. So saying women is truthful.

2. See second part of 1.

3. My use of opposite is wrong. I should have used counter.

I love how personal you are taking this. Please continue. I am fascinated by your need to virtue signal.

Thanks for the questions!

What's your plan for when they're older/move out? Good luck going back to work with a huge lapse in work experience after a part-time coaching gig.

Not worried. I was good at my job. I have 2 individual national champions on my resume. Not opposed to volunteering or even doing high school. Think I’ll be fine. And next time please phrase in the form of a question.

Sorry missed first part 8mo was crawling around and didn’t read full comment. So I apologize and thank you for the question. I plan on just enjoying life and time with my wife. As we will both be retired by that time.

It's great to hear that you've found a routine that works so well for you! Every family dynamic is different, and what seems manageable to one person might be overwhelming for another. Factors like the number of children, their ages, any special needs, and personal circumstances can significantly impact the experience. It's also about the emotional and mental load that often goes unseen. Sharing your strategies might help someone struggling to find their rhythm in the stay-at-home role

Do not get a Vizsla unless you live on a farm. Best advice in this thread.
