jfc, being a home-husband is the dream, their fucking loss

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Do you pet the cat?

I like WFH but I hated being a house-husband. WFH gives me something to do more than cleaning and cooking and childcare.

Play some games, contribute to opensource, read academic papers. There are a lot of work to do even if you are not employed.

Believe it or not, cooking, cleaning and childcare full time doesn't really leave you with much energy to play games, let alone contribute to open source or read academic papers.

That requires a certain amount of intelligence and interest in those things. No disrespect to those people but it you are below average IQ and make a living in a simple job, you cant just contribute to open source software and read academic papers for a hobby.

I replied to comment that says being house-husband sucks because there are not enough things to do.

Also there are minimal intelligence requirements for reporting bugs or donating.
