Had co-workers say they would never marry someone making more than them. Shit is so weird.
Been there, done that, it sucked.
It was great at first! But after 6-months I was depressed. Guess I’m the sort that requires the structure a regular job provides. Kinda been the same for WFH. :(
I had depression before WFH, still have it but at least now I can work with my cat on my lap
I like WFH but I hated being a house-husband. WFH gives me something to do more than cleaning and cooking and childcare.
It shows how stupid and against your own best interests this kind of thinking can be.
I am the full time worker in my family, and happy to be the provider for them. However, I would be a stay at home dad / house-husband so damn fast if my wife got some random job mom making a lot more than me. I do have my priorities in order, after all.
Maybe because it is not in realm of possible instead of something they don’t want?
