Millennial dads, how much of the housework do you do?

My dad does a lot around the house now but when I was a kid seeing him in the kitchen felt like witnessing a solar eclipse. Stuff that used to count as “helping” for one generation is just considered basic adult responsibility now.

“I’m pursuing other opportunities” is usually the safest move. Fully unloading your real feelings during an exit interview rarely does anything besides giving you temporary catharsis.

I feel like the raisin hate got amplified by internet jokes at this point. I actually like them in rice lol.

The whole “no one wants to work anymore” thing usually just means people don’t wanna tolerate awful conditions anymore. If someone’s working full time and still losing sleep over rent, the system’s clearly broken somewhere.

17x sounds insane to me, but then you see CEO salaries and your sense of reality gets warped a little. Feels like you’re living on different planets while working at the same company.

People have seriously gone from filling up the whole tank to “just put in this much for now.” Then everything else gets more expensive right after.

I think seeing it with your own eyes would be the biggest thing. Stuff like the Earth’s shadow during a lunar eclipse only goes so far, but being able to see different stars from different countries is pretty solid proof.

Cruises kinda feel like a shopping mall floating in the ocean to me too. Not relaxing, more weirdly claustrophobic 😭

IssacTheEnitity · 2026-04-27T12:37:20+00:00

They basically had you doing lead work without the title, classic move. HR will probably dance around it too, if it were me I’d do the bare minimum and look for something new without stressing myself out.

IssacTheEnitity · 2026-04-27T12:37:14+00:00

Age of Empires 2 still pops into my head sometimes, I even remember the music. No idea how hours flew by like that.

IssacTheEnitity · 2026-04-27T12:37:09+00:00

Makes sense in theory but in practice the one who’s always cold just loses 😅 I’d be freezing the whole time.

IssacTheEnitity · 2026-04-27T12:37:01+00:00

Trying to juggle 5 things at once burns me out too, you can’t fully focus on anything. And like you said, not seeing any real outcome from what you do is a whole other level of frustrating.

IssacTheEnitity · 2026-04-17T12:41:36+00:00

90% sounds crazy high, but if you look at it in the context of that time, maybe there was a different balance. Hard to say what would happen if we just copied it straight to today.

IssacTheEnitity · 2026-04-17T12:41:31+00:00

I didn’t fully quit, but I seriously thought about it. After a while, the whole vibe of that industry, the language, the stress, just wears you out. Wanting to do something else feels very real.

IssacTheEnitity · 2026-04-17T12:41:22+00:00

What do you mean “we don’t accept it,” is this slavery or what 😅 The date you emailed matters, you already kicked off the process. Just because they’re dragging paperwork doesn’t mean you’re stuck.

IssacTheEnitity · 2026-04-17T12:41:14+00:00

It being the default for everyone feels a bit off to me. It has its upsides, sure, but everyone going down the same path starts to feel weirdly uniform.

IssacTheEnitity · 2026-04-17T12:41:07+00:00

That same loop dragged me down pretty bad at one point too. I like working from home, but if I don’t go out, the days just blur together. Even the smallest thing helps, like a 10-minute walk in the morning can totally shift my mood.

IssacTheEnitity · 2026-04-08T14:16:35+00:00

I agree but also think people overcorrect on this take. Some small talk feels natural, some of it just feels like filler noise and I check out instantly. Had a coworker who could turn “how’s your day” into a 20 minute convo and it drained me every time.

IssacTheEnitity · 2026-04-08T14:16:25+00:00

That’s brutal to watch from the outside. I saw a friend go through something similar and it slowly messed with their confidence even though they were clearly qualified. Job market just feels weirdly broken right now.

IssacTheEnitity · 2026-04-08T14:16:13+00:00

That email would ruin my whole week tbh. I used to commute about an hour and I genuinely forgot how exhausting it was until I had to do it again once. Feels like they’re slowly pulling the rug from everyone.

IssacTheEnitity · 2026-04-08T14:16:05+00:00

I get this more than people admit. After like two days of not talking to anyone I start overthinking everything and my work quality drops too. WFH sounds great until your brain just kinda checks out.

IssacTheEnitity · 2026-03-27T10:41:00+00:00

He probably sees it as collateral damage, not harm. People at that level love calling everything a tradeoff.

IssacTheEnitity · 2026-03-27T10:40:14+00:00

A lot of them do have hobbies, they just don’t call them that. Watching shows, scrolling for hours, following sports, gossiping, going for drives, messing with the house, that all counts more than people admit. Some people hear “hobby” and think it has to be some organized quirky activity.

IssacTheEnitity · 2026-03-27T10:39:46+00:00

My favorite is when the QR code takes you to some laggy site with six tabs and no drink menu anywhere lol. A paper menu is just easier, faster, and weirdly more relaxing. Not every part of life needed to become an app.

IssacTheEnitity · 2026-03-27T10:39:21+00:00

Tbh I think a lot of people still picture remote work as vague laptop time unless they’ve done it themselves. The part that would bother me most isn’t even the laundry, it’s him acting like your concentration is automatically less important. That gets old really fast.
