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.

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.
what father is so disengaged from their kids that they wouldn't want to spend more time with them, given the option?
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.
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.
Tbh, I don't want to be any kind of dad.
Daddy! At long last, I've finally found you!!
That's a core experience of being a dad. Kids are a pain in the fucking arse sometimes.
I literally dream of this.
I would
Then hire a cleaner
A chef
A gardener
A housemaid
And just chill with my kids
Word. Spending time with them is the real prize.
Just hire a nanny too and go get milk from the store.
Damned amateur.
why would I get milk from the store when the nanny can just milk me instead?
I’d get a more ergonomic vacuum cleaner though.
If I was a working parent with a stay-at-home spouse, I would felt guilty AF for not having more time for family. It would hurt to leave every single day and having to work overtime would make it all worse. I would feel that I'm abandoning my spouse to raise our human spawn alone. I would get to go to work and escape the problems of raising kids and taking care of the home. I get to hang with other adults, maintain friendships, etc.
Dude I'd be a stay at home dad if my wife was making 70k a year
Depends. What's she doing to make that kind of money? A divorce might be more likely. And no - this isn't (just) about sex. You don't make that kind of money without fucking people in one way or another.
