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.
I would do this and develop a drinking problem.
Like, a bigger drinking problem.
Ain’t no way anyone makin 12 million a year settling for me 🤣
Dude I’d be a stay at home dad if my wife was making 70k a year
Yeah! I’m even encouraging my wife to put herself out there more and ask for promotions.
I’m also encouraging your wife to put herself out there more
No because of gender roles i will demand she quits this high paying job and stay at home and we both live off my minimum wage. /s
That is not a 12-million dollar earners’ kitchen
Naw that’s just rent in LA.
Right I forgot this was 2026
You don’t stay rich, by spending it all.
Gotta spend money to make money.
I mean, not all, but you kinda DO stay rich by spending and investing and improving quality of life.
I need to invest in a boat.
See, now you’re starting to sound like a lawless billionaire!
You ever wonder if there’s more to life than all this?
I would do it for a lot less than that.
I am on paternity leave now and I love it. If my wife was making 12 million I would never go back.
12 million Zimbabwe dollars
Oh man, that’s $33k/year :( When dealing with any genie or monkey paw, always specify which currency you want the money to be in!
I’ll admit $33k/year is on the low end, but in a country where the average income is $4800 that’s still pretty good.
Do I have to wear the lace all the time? I don’t look good in lace.
And honestly probably not; not because I have any objections to her being the breadwinner or have any weird ideas about who raises kids, but mostly because I’m not sure I could do it. I’d be a pretty shit father.
Bro, I’d do that if my partner made one twentieth of this kinda money.
How do people feel about stay at home spouses without kids? Is that something that is generally frowned upon?
People feel weird about it, but it’s perfectly fine.
My wife doesn’t work a paying job, we don’t have kids, but in almost every conversation when I’m meeting someone when they ask what my wife does and I tell them, they always follow it up with like, “Oh does she work from home?” or “Oh, does she sell stuff online?”
It often breaks their brain that she doesn’t work a paid job.
But surely she does something, right? I’d love the opportunity to no longer work & still be comfortable, but at the same time I know I’ll get bored. I like working, I just hate that capitalism forces me.
Oh, yes, she does a lot, but for opsec reasons I’m not really providing details.
She just doesn’t get paid to do it, call it hobbies mostly.
I know a few stay at home partners/spouses and all act the same: highly demanding and think they’re better than everyone else because their partners are high earners despite never achieving anything in life. That’s why it personally gives me the ick. Kudos to anyone who is in that situation, but doesn’t act entitled.
Luckily she’s hardly that way. She’s actually got really bad guilt about it and has wanted to abandon things just to work a paying job so she can tell people that’s what she does.
Yeah, I get the guilt. I, too, had it when I was unemplyoed and wasn’t financially independent.
Great job if you can get it!
That’s my dream
You can totally tell from the pic he never user a vac cleaner and or cooked in his frighing life…
Yeah, because bro was working full time on sculpting those arms.
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.
I’ve taken less work than I could, making less money (still fortunate to make what I make), because I get to see my kids more. Kids are also a huge pain in the ass sometimes, and so I won’t leave my wife with more of a burden than I have myself. We’re a team, and we’re a family. When they get older and more independent, maybe I’ll put the hammer down and make more money, but right now I have the perfect balance and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Unfortunately, probably gonna have to go bash Nazis eventually.

As is tradition.
I would stay at home for an okay income and kids, although, as an IT guy, I could probably still work from home part time
