Jokingly said I wanted a househusband and my dad said "you'd get bored of that pretty quick"

Of course I said "yeah maybe" to preserve the peace because I live with my family

But no, actually. I wouldn't. Do men get tired of having a domestic partner at home? Apparently not since so many ducking laws are being made to try and push women "back in the kitchen", but I guess it does get tiring having to be nice to your live in maid (heavy sarcasm)

So no, I would not get tired of having a domestic partner who takes comfort and joy in creating a comforting, clean space for us to make our home. I would not get tired of having someone who enjoys making us delicious meals and making sure I have a safe space to collapse and find comfort after a long, exhausting work day. I would not get tired of having someone to dote upon in return for all of the care I'm not at home to watch them show me.

If I really love someone, I don't get tired of them

#this is not the same as each person having their own space #i even need space from my best friends sometimes #doesn't mean I love them less #i know modern society doesn't really make room for this. most people need two incomes #and of course in an ideal world me and any partners would only need to work as much as we wanted #but i would never begrudge someone who whole-heartedly wants to take care of our home #it was just such a bloody annoying thing to hear #vent post #personal post #househusband
