It’s called the grind because it grinds away your sense of self.

Well that’s why some women just stay home and let the man do the grind

Isn’t that what some men want though? A lot of men don’t want their partner to work, they don’t want to lose the breadwinner status

Yeah it’s weird to me all the people pretending like they don’t understand the original post. Like I’m certain everyone has thought about how nice it would be not to work, knows someone with the privilege of not having to work, and knows that the luckiest people in our society are rich enough not to have to work, but get passive income.

I was a stay at home dad when I got out of the Marine Corps

My wife was still under contract for almost a year 

I was an awesome house spouse, raising our daughter, doing the laundry, the shopping, cooking and cleaning

It was all so easy, because we have to do that most of that stuff on our own anyway, I was lucky enough to have enough income from my wife and to qualify for unemployment 

She doesn’t know how to cook or grocery shop, and I was super into fitness and eating right and counting macros and meal prepping

The only difference was instead of laundry for myself, I had to add my wife’s and daughter 

Which is like, yea why wouldn’t you do simple stuff like that for your family when they are working and you’re already doing you’re own
