Is it a thing to be a full time carer (as a father)

I was a "stay at home Dad" for a while which includes running the house (and should have included doing the shopping).

I liked it. It allowed me to mock womens talk of "emancipation" too, because, gasp, it turns out they were making a really big deal about the rigors of housework.

It was better than working for a living!

Discarding male traditional roles has been good for me personally, but not so much for society at large, I think. 

To restore a living room after a toddler and your O/H have devastated it if approached from a male perspective bcomes rather easy and quick (45 minutes)

1. Identify the coffee table or similar area which needs to be empty and clean as the primary dumping ground. 

2. Go round the room like a whirlwind and stick everything that is not in it's place on the dumping ground, until there is no more space.

3. Get all that schwag OUT of the living room. Then GOTO step 2 until both table and everywhere else is free of schwag.

4. Put all furniture into centre of room and vaccuum and dust periphery

5. Put furniture back and vaccum clean it as neccesary.

6 Vacuum & dust rest of room moving table as neccesary.

7. Wipe paintwork etc down as required.

8 Put on Kettle and roll a fat one. Well, a thin one, really, you still have the rest of the house to do, and you have to be at the school for half past three...  

Ditto me, and looking after my Nan and, now, my kitten.

The day is spent tying up so many loose ends. I learned how to take responsibility for my home, and money.
