To Those with a Spouse at Home, How are you all even doing this?😮‍💨

Over here, with my two kids (8 and 1) and my wife staying home, I feel like I'm constantly trying to figure out how to get a side hustle going and still be a really present husband and dad. It's a real balancing act. And don't get me wrong, no complaints! I honestly love having my wife home, and she's an awesome mom. Plus, sending both kids to daycare just to make ends meet doesn't make sense to me. So, for anyone in this boat, or if you've been there and came out the other side: What's actually working for you? How did you get through this phase? Any real-world tips or just shared stories would be super helpful. #ParentingLife #DadLife #WorkLifeBalance #StayAtHomeMom #SideHustleStruggles #FamilyFirst #RealTalk #LifeWithKids #SeekingAdvice

15 Years Together, 2 Kids, and I’m Drowning in Chores! 😩🛁

After 15 years together and two kids, I thought my partner and I would be a team. But lately, it feels like I’m carrying the whole load. I work part-time in a high-stress job, and on my days off, I’m still on duty with our toddler. The house, bills, school runs—everything falls on me. What really gets me is when he comes home, skips out on bedtime chaos, and disappears for a two-hour bath. Not just once in a while—almost every other night! Meanwhile, I’m struggling to get the kids settled, and he claims he needs to catch up on rest. When do I get a break? Sometimes I lose my cool, and he acts like I’m overreacting. But honestly, I’m just exhausted and desperate for some help. Have you ever felt like you’re the only one holding it all together? I’d love to hear how you handle it. Let’s talk, because I really need to know I’m not alone. 💬 #FamilyStruggles #MentalLoad #ParentingLife #FamilyRelationships
