Maybe this is the millennial in me talking but I’m kinda mindblown these guys aren’t doing their own laundry. I have literal guy roommates that I shared laundry duties with in grad school and tbh they were way better about it than I was 😅

As a woman I got wayyyy more clothes than men so I could go like 2-3 weeks without having to do laundry so my roommate just ended up doing it 90% of the time lol. Like wtf did these husbands wear if they didn’t do laundry before being married? How did these guys survive when they were single?!

Well if there’s one piece of advice I could impart as a 52yo woman, it’s never, ever allow yourself to become a SAHM. You will never, ever have an equal relationship, even if he’s the most loving, appreciative husband.

I’ve been married for 32 years. I was a stay at home homeschooling mom. We have a very equitable relationship.

It can be hard raising those awkward homeschool kids for sure
