This is the times where the wife stayed home all day. This was her job. And I mean job as in career job. Of course, that is now very optional and even frowned upon
One, I am an irreparable asshole mostly because it's the only way I can get anything done.
Two, with certain individuals I have given up.
Either way, glad you guys are discussing this. I'm enjoying reading the comments.
You know at least the main points arent that bad...
Currently im the stay-at-home dad part of the week, and my wife is the stay-at-home mom the other part.
Sure, the details may be a bit dated, but the general concept of "make sure the one just getting home from work has a chance to de-stress" is something both of us try to work towards
Yeah I was gonna say the same thing. Some of it definitely is unnecessary, but at a time when the work climate was terrible, and the wife was at home all day every day, it’s not a bad idea to de-stress when he probably worked in a coal mine.
I can't remember where i read it, but the best thing i heard that helps is "when one spouse that was at work all day gets home, both people think they can finally take a break. They're both wrong"
