If you read forums of new parents (e.g. parenting subreddits), the common consensus is that being a stay at home parent is far harder than a job.

As a counterpoint, I am a stay at home parent right now because I’m on paternity leave and it is by far the best time I’ve ever had in my life

Parenting subreddits have alot of the most extreme situations.

I have a child, alot of what I read on these internet groups isn't relatable.

I have two cousins who became stay at home dads, and something really interesting is that the mothers claim that being a stay-at-home parent is exhausting grueling thankless work, and the fathers who are stay-at-home seem to love it! It seems that generally speaking, either fathers are too negligent, mothers are too neurotic, or some mixture of the two is happening.

As a daily Reddit user, I can definitely say to take anything from subreddits with a grain of salt.

Everything worth doing is hard.

"is hard" ≠ "sucks"
