I am familiar with several stay at home fathers... I smirk when I hear them tell how much work is involved in keeping house, caring for children, grocery shopping, preparing meals and never ending laundry.

You forgot dishes. Never-ending dishes too.

Even for 3 people, it’s all pretty constant and same-old, same-old. And dishes and laundry pretty much make it impossible to really keep up with the other stuff. That’s what I’ve noticed about traditional home roles - women’s work is exactly the same, day-in day-out, all year. Cabin fever; stir crazy.

Men get to “go out” and even at home all their chores involve “outdoors” and almost always vary and are not daily. Lawn is not done all year, or even every day in season. Snow-shoveling is not a given, but only for a few months at best. Grilling (why do men cook in this case?), not a given but only half the year maybe.

Anyway, off my observational soapbox.
