Not sure how it’s even hard to understand!


Precisely.

The people who don't understand are SAHMs who have no idea how hard it is to work AND be the primary parent. They have a cushy existence compared to most WOHMs.


I’m a single dad who works and is the primary parent and the alleged difficulty of this is vastly exaggerated.


Because you probably suck as a dad compared to what single/working moms are doing. Sorry.

If you can't outsource or SAH then yes marriage is harder for the woman hands down.

It's gotten better but society still defaults to the woman doing most of the household management and in Type A DC there isn't enough time to make it work without major stress

Now there is an out. If your HHI is under 200k maybe even with both spouses working, realistically the smartest move is to get out of this area.

There are plenty of places in the country where that income is comfortable where you can either stay at home or outsource and things will be much better and happier for you.


But you can't carry that income level with you to the lower COL area.


Still a better lifestyle in LCOL even if you’re making a lot less.

I dated single dads with 2-3 kids who are actual, involved parents. They literally never have time for themselves or serious dating !

Right. They were better dads than the PP who thinks that moms are vastly exaggerating how hard it is to work full-time and be the primary parent.

Or maybe he's just a harder worker and not as used to complaining. Or maybe he doesn't see parenting as a hassle. Or maybe he's more efficient at accomplishing what needs to be done at work and home. Or maybe he doesn't spend a lot of time shopping for leggings and watching Tik Tok dances while "working" at his cushy middle management fed job.

If they are heterosexual it is.


I don't think sexuality is fixed. If women are better, I can see myself marrying a woman instead.

Women married to other women have the highest divorce rates of all couples. It's shoots a huge gaping hole in the ladies of dcum theories about men being the problem in marriages


You can’t really compare a newly emerged marriage institute with an established heterosexual marriage. It will take years to see which one is more stable


Plus there are still a lot of societal hurdles that make lesbian marriage much more difficult than heterosexual marriage.

Hmm, no, I think it's that he isn't as good of a dad as women who report their experience with the well-documented phenomenon of the difficulties of being a primary parent while working full-time.

You probably just aren't 100% straight.

Untrue/ I was working like a dog. All day at work and until the kids went to bed. He could afford me to stay at home. I was working two jobs and he was working one at work. That is what people are talking about. I was commuting 1.5 hours each way because of his insistence his commute be 15 min. Many working women are doing first and second shifts while the man enjoys a second income but do not do household or childcare duties. Yes, then marriage absolutely sucks for the woman and is a terrible deal.

Ah, I see, so you don't know what you're talking about. Thanks for clarifying that.

Are you familiar with the concept of reading and learning about things that you don't have direct life experience with? You know, like, educating yourself on things?

That’s pretty extreme. Why didn’t you get a new job?
