Not wanting to be a stay-at-home dad feels like such a boomer mentality. Like, seriously, what father is so disengaged from their kids that they wouldn't want to spend more time with them, given the option? Being a stay-at-home parent is a lot of work, no one's contesting that, but there's no contesting that it's more satisfying work than working for some megacorp's bottom line.

Boomers, you said it yourself. Being a stay at home dad was unheard of and seen as emasculating. So silly.
Yeah, it has the same energy as the endless jokes about men hating their wives.
I haven’t never understood those jokes. There’s billions of women in this world, you have picked up one for yourself. Why would you pick up one you hated for? It doesn’t make any sense.
Man COVID was the chance for me to do that and it was amazing. Being stuck with my wife and kid 24/7 was a blessing. A monkeys paw blessing for sure but I still enjoyed it.
Or babysitting. "Stuck babysitting again, haha?". Nope, just walking around with my child like any other parent.
My boomer dad was a sort of stay at home dad in the off season for his construction work. (Temperature dependent waterproofing).
We got to spend winters wood working, skiing (he was an instructor and coach to allow us to afford it) and just being around to have fun with.
He died too young to meet my son, but I’ve been basically working from home in a similar way as much as possible and just got home from the mountain where I work to get us free passes and lessons.
Painting all boomers as misogynists is understandable, as many were, probably after being brought up by the war babies and silent ge. But many weren’t like that, had hippie roots and never succumbed to the yuppie greed that many did in the 80s.
The housing crisis unlocked that in me, and I’ve never worked steady jobs since then. I was lucky enough to be part of what’s now called a lifestyle startup (prioritizing comfortable life work, instead of grinding growth), but we made it 10 years before our market vanished with COVID. But I wouldn’t change much, except getting better dental coverage and moving to a country with universal healthcare.
To be fair, some people aren't great at being a homemaker--it's a particular passion and skill set and it's not for everyone. But blindly drawing that distinction on gender lines is definitely a boomer thing.
Had an older guy at work who had four kids, and when it came up in conversation, he proudly noted that he had never changed a diaper. Told him that I'd be mortified to admit I was such a useless dad.
I wasn't great at it, until I learned how to do it. It's not hard. YouTube helps.
There are some aspects that aren't skill-based though. Anyone can do it, but some people thrive in that environment, while others have a more difficult time, just like any other job.
I'm sitting here cuddling with my infant son and I never want to go back to work. I'll have to (so will my wife), and I hate that for both of us. But I definitely don't want to.

You’d think so, but they’ve done studies and there tends to be more marital issues in families where the woman makes more of, or all of, the money.
Personally I agree that it shouldn’t be defined along gender lines. We don’t have kids, but my husband is way better with babies and children than I am. It would make much more sense (if we could afford it) for me to work and him to stay home. But it seems that, society-wise, we have a long way to go.

That's my dream
$12 million a year? In two years time we’re retired and the kids are set for life.
We're both stay-at-home, without kids, but still not making 12m/yr.
Also: what an oddly specific sum...🤔
12 million Zimbabwe dollars
Oh man, that's $33k/year :( When dealing with any genie or monkey paw, always specify which currency you want the money to be in!
I'll admit $33k/year is on the low end, but in a country where the average income is $4800 that's still pretty good.
That is not a 12-million dollar earners' kitchen
Naw that's just rent in LA.
Right I forgot this was 2026
I am on paternity leave now and I love it. If my wife was making 12 million I would never go back.
No because of gender roles i will demand she quits this high paying job and stay at home and we both live off my minimum wage. /s
This shit just makes me laugh so hard with the lingerie lol
I’m on board
Do I have to wear the lace all the time? I don't look good in lace.
And honestly probably not; not because I have any objections to her being the breadwinner or have any weird ideas about who raises kids, but mostly because I'm not sure I could do it. I'd be a pretty shit father.
