Working Father Of 3 Says His Wife’s Everyday Life Is ‘Easy’ And Mothers Agree With Him
With so many people convinced that it’s not so hard to be a stay-at-home mom or dad, exhausted parents often have to show them the reality. One of the ways these at-home warriors are debunking this myth is by candidly sharing their parenting struggles. Brad Kearns, a father of three, who, hand-in-hand with his wife, documents their parenting journey on social media, decided to get real about full-time parenting. Brad and his wife Sarah have been together for 10 years, they met through Brad’s cousin when they were teenagers. Brad told Bored Panda that currently, he works as a business development lead and a workforce planner. However, he expressed online that his job is nothing compared to the daily duties of his stay-at-home wife. Things Sarah does to take care for the children may seem unimportant to most, such as taking the kids outside, “how easy is that”, Brad writes in his Facebook post. However, he then explains, how tiring these seemingly small tasks truly are. “Comparison is the thief of joy. Especially when it comes to “stay at home vs go to work”. Everybody with kids works hard whether they receive a payslip or not,” he says. The post he wrote went viral with many mothers praising him for acknowledging this often overlooked truth.

Thank goodness there is a man around to explain how hard it is to be a stay at home mom. XD
Well, at least he acknowledges how hard it is; not every man does.

I love how you started the story.... First I was gonna say, Ahhh, Hell No!! But then when I kept reading, I felt my blood stop boiling cause I'm a stay home mom and when people state that we don't do much or not work hard and have it easy blah blah blah, my blood starts to boil, I have to resit myself and start typing away... But he has respect for his wife and telling everyone how her day goes from day to day.
Yeah, I always hated the question "what do you do all day"? when I was a stay at home mom. For starters , A LOT MORE than I did all day when I went back to work. That question drove me crazy.

I am single mom for 10 years now, and I have to work full time too to survive because my ex just left to another country with his new family. I do all the work, pay all the bills, and plus have a demanding job. So, it can be even harder.
If staying home caring for children was so fulfilling and enjoyable why aren’t more men chucking work for the chance to stay home? Hmmmmmmmm?
Can't be bothered. Too much work. But we do like to pretend that we get the money and that we're the boss at home. Because nothing says insecure like a self-proclaimed Alpha male! ;)

Stay at home parents moaning about their daily life and how hard they "work" sound so ridiculous, like a bodybuilder moaning about how heavy weights are.. you CHOSE to have children, you KNEW what it meant, so suck it up! Furthermore: oh you spend the day with the person YOU LOVE THE MOST IN THE WORLD, omg that must be terrible, so hard to play and take care of the person who means the world to you! Please....
Exactly! It's your own choice to have children, at leas in most cases nowadays. But work on the other hand is something you must do to stay alive.

When the overwhelming urge of having 'a baby of your own' backfires and you resent your mate for having a job that gets him out of the house :P
That only explains one side of the story. I'm an autistic mother, with three ASD kids, and two NT's. I work. My elder four kids father f****d off back to his home country (US), and I'm damned exhausted. My partner (father of my youngest) is ill, so he's frequently burnt out, and I never complain to him. In fact we have a laugh about how s**t life is sometimes, but how great it is to have each other. That's all that matters really.
Mom's rock. They do all that for +18 years and then some. Thanks Mom.
They CHOSE to because they find it pleasant and satisfying. They do it for themselves too.

Get over it, shes not the first woman to be a stay at home mum, what makes her so special? This whole world just wants praise for doing something many generations have done with a lot less in life. How narcissistic of them both.
Both my parents have been stay-at-home parents. When they were together my mum was the stay-at-home parent and my dad worked full time. After they divorced, my dad gave up his job and became the stay-at-home parent (my gran helped out financially.. And don't ask why my mum didn't get custody, it's a long story)
My stay at home mum had it easy, she just yelled "I want you boys to go outside to play and I don't want to see you till dinner!" Kids had more freedom then
Then there are men like me, who not only go to work, earn all of the income, but also takes care of everything else... I make all the meals, do all the grocery shopping, cart the kid to practice and back, take to the doctors, deal with the teachers, help her with homework, and the wife... Complains about her terrible life... That is what divorce is for. Now I still do all of the above, but without carrying a 140 pound sack of c**p around with me.
How i get back my ex wife my family gain. The problem is that I have been focusing on the negative part of marriage, not speaking to anyone about my failed marriage and pretending everything is okay by putting up fake smiles. My wife transformed into a beast, cheater and abuser. It was unbearable to see a man who once vowed to shield us as family transfer aggression to me and the kids, pushing us hard to the wall. But there is time, reason and season for everything either good or bad. I ran to Dr.Sandy for salvation which I eventually achieved through his extra ordinary spell and as as a herbal Dr. Our differences were settled and every heart wounds healed within 2 weeks. I am grateful my wife transformed again to an angel which hes has always been. Thanks to you sir, your works are so marvelous. and my dr.sandy do cure and help with marriage things like 1 Cancer herbal medicine 2 HIV herbal medicine 3 Low sperm count 4 Barrenness 5 Hvp herbal medicine 6 Herpes herbal medicine i will
He forgot the part where the school board demands that the wife helps out at sports day because she's doing nothing else anyway....
Happened to me when I was a sahm. Everybody kept asking for my help because they all thought I was't doing anything..... In the mean time I was so busy I forgot to enjoy my life.
