A few months ago, my husband lost his job. He immediately jumped into house husband mode and was doing all of the cooking, cleaning and laundry. I have grown to really enjoy it because I’ve always been someone who struggles to balance working long hours and keeping up with chores. I’m a workaholic and love my job. I’m not making a fortune by any means but I do alright; we live pretty simply and don’t have kids. He did find a part time job but it’s only 20 hours a week so he’s still been able to keep up with a lot of the household stuff. I do a lot of the more obvious chores like vacuuming and cleaning the litter box and he takes care of the nitty gritty stuff (that I hate doing) like scrubbing the shower and wiping down windows.
I like the setup we have now. We’ve been spending so much more time together and our shared days off are more fun because he takes care of most of the cleaning while I’m at work so we don’t have to worry about it when we’re together.
Being the breadwinner is stressful in its own ways but I’m happy.
