Maybe let's post it on crowcial media and see!
I love that you memefied it thank you ๐
People generally assume stay at home parents only choose that if their spouses make a lot of money, that they are bored or unsatisfied with their life, and that it's a job that is very hard and not much fun.
Obviously I don't speak for SAHPs and maybe these things do apply to some, but my life is freakin awesome! We choose to live very simply and frugally on a single below average income and it is completely worth it every single day for us.
I have so much control over my own schedule, I can't get enough of spending time with my kid and have so much fun with them, I have more time for my own interests, self care or friendships when my spouse can take over at times after work, we get fun family time all together almost every day because we don't have to spend all evening cooking and cleaning (plus our schedule is more flexible), and this is the only job where everything I do all day long directly benefits myself and my loved ones (beyond financial support).
There is genuinely nothing in the world I would trade for this. But man do I get tired of the negative comments from nearly everyone who finds out what I do.
I freakin love this website so much. It's been a really tough week and I just laughed out loud at a minimum of 12 posts in a row.
Sounds silly to say about memes but thank you genuinely everyone who's posting on Lemmy โค๏ธ
I believe there is only one in the whole country
Thanks I hate it
This one honestly got me at first ๐
First off, love this question!
Active listening and validating someone's emotions. Relationship skills in general honestly! Like how to adress the core attachment need in a disagreement instead of just the surface issue.
Use Signal instead and donate what you can per month! I'd much rather support them than Meta
LOL that's a new one!
With those smiles these guys could be viral social media influencers! I see makeup and fashion vlogs in their future
