We could really use someone who's competent around the household. Would also take a husband and anything in between.
Ok, how about we do it like I used to play the sims in 2000.
Every house has 5 workers, and 3 stay at home people. One of the stay at home people is a cook mostly. Won't burn the house down. And can then practice other skills. While people are at work.
The second stay at home person is similar, but instead of cooking, this person is a handyman.
The third stay at home person is actually a rotating spot. Why? Because this person just stays home all day every day and increases their skills. All the skills. Then when thats done, they go back into the work force, and we pull another person OUT of the workforce to enter that 3rd slot.
Eventually all 6 of the non-permanent stay at homers will have a full set of skills.
And the two stay at home people will cook, and maintain the house, while socializing. This ensures the house has family friends. Because you know your boss won't give you a raise until you have 4 family friends.
And the 6 workers will all have high paying jobs. Which means they can afford a maid, and a gardener.
Has the handyman slot been filled yet? This sounds like a great setup.
It's like you combined Big Brother and Friends, but in video game form
I'm a software engineer, I think I can be one of the 5 workers straight off the bat. Let's find 6 more people and we can have this eightsome working!
Count me in, also a software developer, and a really good cook so I can fill if I need to
My friend's wife said they need to get "a bitch". Someone who does the tradwife things while both of them can do things they enjoy in life.
This was of course said in a joking tone, they're both very progressive people, and generally share the workload at home. Gender of said bitch wasn't specified either. Just saying this before anyone thinks my friends are horrible people lol
