One Dad Went Viral For Saying How Easy His Stay-at-Home Wife Has It But Hes Right

One Dad Went Viral For Saying How Easy His Stay-at-Home Wife Has It But Hes Right A father of three Brad Kearns posted that his wife, Sarah, isnt up to much while hes off doing workie stuff.Massive day at work today, he wrote. We have our monthly senior leadership meeting. I have to travel for a 5 hour round journey split by car and train. Then when I rock up I have to sit there all day and do important workie stuff and have big work conversations. Its exhausting. And whats my wife doing? Not much really.He proceeded to detail what she must be up to.All she has to do is get two boys up, dressed and fed whilst breastfeeding the third, he continues. Then no doubt theyll need to be taken outside or to a park to get all that energy out. How easy is that. All she has to do is sort their bags out, find the hats, pack some snacks and a spare change of clothes and buckle them into the car. Then while theyre there shell have to feed the baby again coz thats what he does. Without letting go o f him shell have to interact with and help the others on and off swings and stimulate them enough to not get bored. Its easy really.But thats not even all of it that only covers her morning, he wrote.After they get home, shell have to sort out their lunches that they probably wont eat while trying to get them to rest so she can online shop for groceries really, theyll just want to ride their bikes, scooters and go-karts and run around in the yard until they exhaust themselves. And get grumpy.Well at 5 shell want to know where Im at and how Im tracking, he went on. Groceries are about to be delivered and the boys are going crazy. The baby needs to be held and she has to feed them and begin night routine.This includes preparing dinner (and making sure they eat it), running their baths, dressing them for bed and getting them into bed, all while holding the baby.Exhausted from non-stop torment and not a second to herself all day shell call me again to see where Im at, he wrote. Shell be tired, smelly frustrated and sick of being touched. Shell be irritable, yucky and want nothing mora than a shower, a shampoo and a hot cup of tea... Ill strut my stuff into the house at 730 after my massive day. Shell be just chilling on her phone near a toddler or babies cot because they struggling to go to sleep and I bet the groceries are totenstill out because she managed to just get the fridge stuff packed away. Ill probably have to even prepare our dinner.But, on the weekends, Brad said his wife will tell their children that they can have a motorbike because daddy works very hard for their family.Photo via FacebookTheres no denying how hard dads like Brad work, parents who commented on the post acknowledged. But Facebook users were glad to hear how much Brad appreciates and understands his wifes work as a caretaker and the glue to their family, too.No doubt dads work long and often hard days, but it means the world to hear a dad acknowledge how long and hard and repetitive a mums working day is too one user wrote.Another mom shared Being a stay at home mum for a year was far harder than my job as a barrister. It was so rewarding but it was hard I love that you recognize your wifes hard work and she appreciates yours.And tons of the nearly 1,000 comments thus far are calling Brad and Sarah an awesome team. The post has been shared 900 times already and has garnered more than 11,000 likes.Parents get it. After all, statistics show that those with children under 18 years old spend almost two hours a day solely caring for and helping household children meanwhile, those with children under six years old spend even more than two hours.Two hours might not seem like a lot but thats two hours of undivided attention, and doesnt take into account the rest of the days work like grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning and cooking that consumes a bulk of many parents days.Brad and Sarah seem to have a support for one another though, unfortunately, its not always the case for stay-at-home parents for their partner to understand, if they even have a partner to split working/childcaring responsibilities with them at all.Dont miss out on articles like these. blog, HerReport.org, and follow her journeys on Instagram her_report, Twitterherreport and Facebook.
