Man "cries for help" because he is too tired of being a housewife for 8 years to earn money for his wife

Many men believe that women would be happy if they could stay home full-time. They could sleep with their children until they wanted to get up. They would not have to worry or feel pressured at work. In fact, those who work full-time at home understand that their job is not easy or leisurely.

Recently, a Chinese father with 8 years of experience as a housewife shared online that he was so tired that he almost collapsed every day due to the large amount of housework.

This man had served in the army for many years and was then discharged from his hometown. After getting married, he decided to stay in his wife's hometown. However, because he was unfamiliar with the place, he could not find a suitable job.

The man confided: "My eldest daughter was just over 1 year old at that time. My wife had a stable job so she didn't want to stay home to take care of the child, but we didn't feel secure about hiring a babysitter. After considering, I decided to temporarily stay home to take care of the child, planning to find a job when the child went to kindergarten."

However, things are not as simple as he thought. Every day, he has to wake up early at 5am to prepare breakfast for his wife, then prepare breakfast for his daughter, and take her out. When the child sleeps, he cleans the house and cooks; when the child wakes up, he continues to take care of her.

Just like that, all day he revolved around housework, no social interaction, no entertainment and no friends. Every day he waited for his wife to come home to listen to her confide in him about things at work.

Soon after, his daughter went to kindergarten. The man was thinking to himself that he could finally be free when his wife told him she was pregnant. Because his wife was both giving birth and earning money, he did not dare to express his personal opinion. He felt that he had to obey her in everything.

As a result, he spent eight years as a housewife and child-rearing employee. Every day, he had dozens of chores waiting for him. On weekends, he took his wife and children out and went shopping.

The longer the husband stayed at home, the more regretful he felt. Even if he was unhappy, he couldn't show it. When facing his wife and children, he had to show enthusiasm, otherwise he would become an unreasonable troublemaker who didn't know how to nurture family affection.

"No wonder people say staying at home with children will make you depressed," the man confided. He also felt like he was depressed. Taking care of a child is an important job, but its value is often overlooked. Despite working hard every day, he was still thought to be enjoying himself at home.

The father of two feels regretful because 30 is a very energetic age, also a good time to start a career, but he wastes time on trivial things at home.

This man's story attracted the attention of Chinese netizens. Many women clicked the laughing icon, commenting that men should read the above post to see that being a housewife and taking care of children is really not simple, although it is very tiring but not recognized, no income so it is not considered a contribution.

Some netizens said that this man has nothing to complain about because he is living a comfortable life, his wife has a stable job and does not have to worry about money, and does not look down on her husband for not earning money. Meanwhile, many women stay home to take care of their children, asking their husbands to give them money for family expenses is like begging; this hurts their self-esteem.

According to some netizens, the young father expressed the feelings of many women who stay at home to take care of their children. There are countless mothers who spend time and effort on housework but are not recognized, they are considered to be just playing around at home. In fact, women who stay at home to take care of their children are under a lot of pressure. When they stay at home for too long, they lose contact with society. Especially when something goes wrong in their marriage, it is very difficult for them to overcome. That is what makes women heartbroken, but men rarely understand.
