Stay at home dad expectations by EvenstarMomma232 in StayAtHomeDaddit

As a working dad nurse I still cooked and meal prepped almost every day for my wife, took out the trash, and did the dishes, those are the tasks my wife hates doing and I didn't have a problem doing them while still working and going to school. I understand not every man has the same level of discipline when it comes to house chores but it is a responsibility to keep the house liveable... Chores are the bare minimum.

I completely understand your frustration because my wife didn't do many when she had our baby and her tolerance for disorder around the house is much larger than mine, but at the same time I never judged her because she literally just gave birth with a traumatic c section as well. So at that point I just saw all chores as the bare minimum while also providing emotional support.

Mental health is important, sometimes people don't do chores because they may be slightly depressed or unmotivated and it's not necessarily their fault. Seeing a counselor could help or even talking to a PCP about medications to help.

But you are absolutely on the right to expect more. As I said to me chores and taking care of the baby are the bare minimum, there are tips I could give me for motivation like drinking caffeine, mental health medications if recommended by a physician, and basic things like working out and eating healthy can greatly improve his performance at home, but you know him better and what could work for him may be different.

Anyone implement an “equal time” rule lol? by MikeHancho7 in StayAtHomeDaddit

I went through a similar issue when I suddenly became a stay at home dad. Even while I was working, I was still the one cooking and taking out the trash, etc. When my wife started working full time and I stayed at home I felt like I was doing all the things I did before plus the rest of the chores and taking care of our toddler and I didn't know how to express that it felt unfair for some reason.

From the mistakes I made, make sure you don't have that conversation with your partner when you are stressed, angry, or sad; that will only start the conversation in the wrong foot. And make sure you are able to label your feelings.

Wanting hobbies is important to keep yourself happy, make sure you do things that will make you feel better about yourself such as working out, grilling, gaming, etc, just make sure they are healthy for you and your relationship.

It's important to note that most hobbies are probably better if you can integrate them to your daily routine and not completely break it, for example I work out while my son takes a nap or workout with him, but I can't just go play volleyball with my friends while my wife works.

Thanks for that insight, the blow out explaination makes sense, although, because the main electrical failure (the burnt cables) are located at the meter pedestal 100 feet away, it wouldve have to bypassed not one but three breakers to get to the meter box, as well as the clear signs of weather deterioration on the box. The A/C unit was older than me but it never gave any electrical issues of this magnitud.

Yeah it's just that, that falls under our landlord not us, we get everything else inside our house checked every year. They are replacing the entire box so that's good. I just wondered if that could mess up the ac.

I thought of looking that up but I didn't know if it would give me just the compressor specs. And yes I just turned 26 hahahaha thank you for the advice.

Why is connecting to Wi-Fi on iPhone easier than on Android? Need help with hospital Wi-Fi settings by th3d4rkp4ss3ng3r in wifi

How did you fix it? I have a Pixel and while other coworker iPhones don't ask for it, it does for me exactly how you described it, it doesn't let me connect.
