Is it show those podcasts? Sure both? Yep, everything so last night. So I'm unemployed. So our budget for kind of going out on dates is not high, right which did my wife's Chagrin especially since we see each other all the time now, since it used to be unbelievably hot. Yeah, we saw a fucking bomb it out. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So anyway, we use we had a school fundraiser last night. So we were all excited to go and my wife when she has a big plans likes to allow the preparation for those plans cause her and unimaginable amount of stress and get she's really tense and we get in a lot of fights like right before we're going out somewhere perfect rights because she likes to get prep and to just worried about everything being perfect and it's nothing like going out on a date night arguing. Yes already. Just something I should say. Is there another way to go out a day. My son asked me. Last night he's like well, you know said something about it and I started to explain him that when Mommy has something exciting to do she gets really stressed up. I don't know that she appreciate me saying that anyway, so we went out or we were planning to go out but for a couple weeks we couldn't find a babysitter. So we finally found a babysitter and says young teenage girl who comes over and she literally walks into like the like like it's like being in a sitcom of walking into a house where like the kids are animals and it never happens, but they're shrieking at each other like the top of their lungs the throwing fits. Detective much of slams the door at one point. This is all like right over the babysitter walks in she just walks into this Maelstrom of this shit and I'm in the other room and I'm just like, oh my God, what is even happening? They're arguing over these toys called Magna tiles, which I think you may have even given us these for one of their birthdays. So my toddler recently discovered them and they've been we've had them for years at least five years. My eight-year-old wants nothing to do with them until all of a sudden he sees my toddler has a lizard and there they become his again. Oh, yeah. Well, those are - those are mine. Yeah shit about them. I did all two years all him. Yeah, and it's just like there are literally at each other's throats. It was like world war three this poor girl comes in who's like 15 dealing with the she'll think she would I don't know how old she was. Yes, probably responsible to leave her treasure my children, but it turned out. Okay Lisa probably got a good hourly rate out of that thing. Yeah. Well, that's the whole point. Right? I'll give him she forgets. I'm not really concerned. The kids are alive when I get home. Yeah money well-spent great, right if they're not I probably should pay a little bit extra should have more kids, you know hindsight's 20/20 totally. So that was my story about my kids screaming overt why neither of them care? About I love it. I can relate that. Everybody can relate some shit that's happened so much. It just Legos in my household by older daughter who's couldn't give a shit about. Yeah, my eight-year-old starts playing a daughter starts playing all I go son. Give me back my leg. Oh, that's my gut. That's that's my guy and then you know, you know screaming and fighting he's gonna break it as a my kid yells. So this morning I'm looking under the bed. I'm trying to find my flip-flops because it's a nice and warmish spring Ash. So I'm wearing my rainbow sandals, which I'm a big fan of rainbows the best sandals money can buy. Yeah, especially where are your city? Okay, let's get into this weird prude wear sandals in the cities. It's not the most disgusting thing. You can do. I can name a thousand more to discuss think okay licking the the pavement one. Nope. Yep. Still Santa's still saying anyway, I was looking for them under the bed and I found like a foam thing from a Spider-Man toy. That might to my three-year-old has had the toy, but without any of the projectiles because we didn't know any of them were but I find that thing and I'm like, oh hey am I gonna Hammer? What is here you go. Am IA Hero season immediately wants the fucking thing. You haven't given a shit about that. Damn toy in five years you son of a bitch. Yes, and there it is. And then good thing is a projectile because I'm sure that would put two really productive. Oh, yes obviously projectiles are always good to have in the hands of children, but see this is the kind of stuff now that I'm unemployed and I'm home a lot. This is the kind of stuff that I deal with a lot more. My son gets home from school at 3:30. His brother wakes up around the same time from his afternoon nap, which those three two or three hours of that nap. It's like heaven on Earth. Oh, wow. It's amazing. I was in a purple job hunting still. Yeah, but I think that's going away soon. But I just job hunt during those three hours, or maybe I watch the I've almost finished the Umbrella Academy of one episode though. Yeah. Yeah, but of a shocking event in the previous episode, I did not anticipate, but we'll see how they get around. that anyway so Seeing that kind of shit being around and my wife loves to rub it in my face I go I deal with this every day, but every bit the black why I'm a working parent usually in this is why I prefer it. Yeah, right except. It's also not why I prefer it. Let me tell you. Okay gonna get into it. Okay, right, so And a lot of people agree with me because I posed this question on Instagram. Are you a working parent? What are the pros and cons and the first pro? I got Sergeant die set. I love being able to get away for a while. Yeah, right and a lot of people refer to it as a break and I've even written about this like the Escape one dude said Steve roach said I get to leave if they're being jerks in the morning, which is a huge perk right now that I'm home. I don't get to leave when they're around. I'm in it all the time, but the flip side of that coin is All you get when you're working parent is the shitty stuff, right? We've talked before about the morning routine trying to get the kids out to school and time sucks. That's you get home and it's like homework dinner, but get them to bed like none of the fun shit. So so being at home gives me some of that fun stuff, but I don't have the break anymore does it's a weird balance, right? But I definitely prefer working. I don't know about you. Yeah. I know. Let's have you ever been State homer. I'm interested. What is this fun stuff? You're talking about Justine. No bonding moments. Okay. Yeah, but what's a while okay, you never had that. I know I'm gonna see she's procedures but I am working and I it is often in my household referred to as a break. Yeah. Well I see this is the flip side, uh, you know, not break. It's a job. It's a job and especially if it's like a psychological warfare that you wage every day in the sounds like a fun job, but where do you work Thunderdome? No, no Thunderdome 3. Oh, yeah. Thunder Dawn Thunder Mad Max 3 it's ya know, it's not exactly the easiest thing in the world to then, you know to go to work and then come home and then obviously when you're home, you're immediately on yes, it's you know, it's your turn to take over. Yeah exactly because of you haven't dealt with that all day, but you've been dealing with a boss that's underlings. And I always say it, you know, it's you know, my wife just is with the kids all day and I'm not saying that that's not hard. I don't know. We're just saying it was hard. No. No, that's a job in and of itself. So even the title is working parents were all working ever guys working Parenthood takes a lot of work. It's challenge. That's whether you work in a job or whether you're a homemaker man. They still call him at home acres is really well covering our asses on this TV out here to make sure I got a lot of friends in the community the state home Community. I was a stay-at-home dad. I hated it. I hated it. I know I so boring. I really do mean it. I mean, obviously it takes so much effort. I do feel like one. Being and tell me if you agree with this, but I will not let you know staying home is much more physical but versus Afternoon Delight know physically draining versus sure. Oh, yeah. Okay being at work and being mentally drained. I know that it sounds like you know, I don't know exactly one is better than the other but it's our rather. They're both equally tough. Yeah life is in fucking hellhole. Yeah matter when you're running late, you know, my wife runs. Yo has minutes between pickups on what? Yeah, it's true. Awful and but then there's that that's like the physical aspect of like physically trying to get somewhere where you're getting mental stress at work. Yeah, how badly are you gonna get fired? And when are you going but how does it work? Well, yeah, all that shit. Welcome to my world. Oh wait, I don't have a world because I'm unemployed. Right? Well what I wouldn't give to be worried about getting fired you and sensitive and friend. Trust me Mike. You'll have your chance again. Yeah. I know. I will. Yeah that sort of Damocles swinging over my head again. Exactly member member the months leading. Up. Yeah, that deserves breasts. Yeah, it's horrible. So but but I do so I'm at home and I get to see all the squabbles that my wife usually deals with on her own and believe me. She doesn't want me home because I'm a fucking Powder Keg right? I'm yelling all the time right at the kids because they're so loud. Yeah. Oh my God the sound. I don't want to be home and I can't go to the bar because we can't afford it and rilke holism. I try and schedule meetings at 6:30 in the morning and nobody just getting the hell out. Sorry. I gotta go. Sorry. Gotta go get it. Well, it's good excuse. Somebody said that to it's a good excuse like oh sorry can't do that. I have work. Yeah. Sorry honey. I have to go to work. But I forgot I was gonna say yeah. Well listen, you can use it the it happens. The other side is true, too. When you have work things that you absolutely definitely don't want to go to. Yeah, you can use kids with depends on where you work. But yeah, I had a really killer away with your mother. No. No, ma'am. I have the kids. This is where the kids are. Yeah, you have to be careful about if you tell your bosses too much because you want to be able to lean on your kids to get them out of there because I saw an Instagram your kids were you know up at the lake or something but like a lot of people say this married Baby in baby on I don't know how to pronounce that Mary forgive me says it feels like a vacation when she goes in the office which is you know, the opposite of how you feel for her. It's a vacation. Yes, hell isn't is a never-ending night terror. Yes right for you. You hate both home and work. Yeah, it's good. I doubled never have any Escape. I like to double down on Black Velvet stitches makes a good point that she's a better parent when she works outside of the home, which sure my tank is I got more left in the tank. Yes when it comes to dealing with the kids. Because they have been grinding on my nerves all day long, right, but now when I'm home all the time and they're arguing over Magna tiles, it's a lot easier to get full up on that bullshit. Well, but don't are both took. Both. Our kids are in school, right? Yeah. Well once in daycare three times a week the other one is so all that even in pre-k next year because when he was born, it's so annoying Day Care is expensive man. Yeah, that's another thing somebody mentioned about one of the cons of being a working parent is how expensive Della MF she said expensive-ass daycare, which is fucking true. And that's the challenge. So my wife and I one of things you have to weigh is are you both going to work for my wife to work? We have to make sure she makes enough to cover the cost of daycare and then some or else and Footers. And yes, it's you have to make some substantial amount. So manbo 1 2 3 11. I don't know why I didn't just say 1 2 3 1 1 I'm not no idea. This is dealing with sick days or a pain which is a huge fan right like you worker. Are you both work and you have to like stay home that deal with the kids and some your whole life change of the schedule is really yeah, it's really arrange and and mama bear has to go to a fair amount of doctor's appointment. So a lot of times I'll stay home and work from home, right which is an absolute nightmare working from home is got to be the worst combination of everything if I don't think anybody who has children should ever work from Super Tressa says, she just started a business from home. So it's the best of both worlds. I don't know if she was being sarcastic meaning that she gets the bullshit of Both Worlds or if she was being sincere. Because when I work from home, I can't get anything done. The kids are all over the place the doors constantly opening. Yeah, it's like crying my leg. Oh, you know, I like it very much. Although I have heard. I have a friend who says that they prefer to work from home because otherwise they're pulled into so many meetings. They can't actually get any work done. I used to like to work from home. I used two men had kids and then Yep. They're the kids and then it was nope. I don't I can't Get settled in at home, but I don't mind like once a week or whatever sure and and I means I can like stay in my PJs for a long time not employed. I stand my PJs fucking hours and hours, which is they say you shouldn't do yeah, fuck em, you know, but complacency entropy. Yeah. They write a trophy act Rafi. That's not nice. But then C so funky fee says the same thing that I said where the time when you do work and you get home. Even though you may get a break outside of the office and get home. It's not quality time, right you're dealing with get is a brush their teeth. Well then get to bed and you're just sick of it in the morning trying to get the kid out to not miss the school bus has an absolute nightmare every yeah, that's definitely my scene II do mornings get them off to New Year. You give your son his three breakfasts give them three breakfasts like Paul Bunyan this kid. He's like Sam from Lord of the Rings second breath second breakfast and then get them off to school. And then or get them packed and ready for school my wife take some actually to school. No, but then when I come home, yes bad homework dinner. Are you the homework person? Definitely a hundred percent you good at it math Common Core. I'm another episode. I'm okay. I'm okay with it depends on who I'm working with you're good with like your five year olds homework and not so much with in eleven-year-old. I'm really good at like Capital Jays. Yeah, just not so good at anything else Legion. Yeah. Or math, but that's the thing like helping them with homework very often devolves into like a battle of wills. We are trying to get the kid to do something. They don't want to do we covered that on bad time right where it's like everything just you're so tired. Yes, and you see the light at the end of the tunnel and you just can't get there and and the kids just don't want to go and so and you know, ultimately it's about nine o'clock when time is starting to free up. At least in my household where I'm able to like start having dinner lacks. You have dinner at 9:00. What do you have would you would you have on Wednesday? I think I made a some sort of steak. So it's funny Jesus Christ some sort of steak Yeah, it's just tossing that off the center one percent. Are you are so it's funny. You said that it all kind of Blends together Platinum with two T's who said that they love what they're stay-at-home Dad or Mom? I didn't look at the photo. I'm sorry Platinum. I don't remember says they love the time with the kids, but they hate the Groundhog Day effect were kind of every day is the same right what's gonna happen at work too? But not as much just the routine the deadening routine of keeping your children alive and occupied. It's one of the things I fucking hated about being a stay-at-home Dad. I'm not good at the planning I get up. I stay in my PJs the kid gets Thomas or whatever. He was watching back then because he was like two and a half for to to like three and a half when I did. It my wife will like plan activities. And so your wife I've seen her Instagram plan activities museums crafts all this shit. I do that to a ground. I don't do that. I'm terrible at it. Well, I hate it. My kids won't be just sticks just nip not be alive if we're not out of the house by tell ya right side. My wife says the same thing. I'll have a full-on meltdown with like to take people out and their likes and they get cooped up and stir crazy right now. I'm always growing by nine o'clock. I mom and Barry Packed and I'm out the door. We'll go to the playground. We're going to a museum. We're going somewhere. Yeah, I hate that shit. Well, you got can't be lazy. That's what I hate about one of the things I hate about parenting. You can't be fucking lazy because it's bad for your dumb kids. Well, it's you know what? I want to lie on the couch and do nothing General and watch Infinity War. Yeah, but I like Tiffany was just not gonna happen and the problem is is the more you want to just relax the less. They say it's going to hit like dogs who smell fear. Yeah. Yeah. I know. All right. So annoy the shit I go the other way. I'm like, let's fucking do this. We're going to go to the museum that we're gonna go over here. Then we're gonna do this at a tire mount that doesn't work. It does eventually nope. Nope, and then I start bedtime at like 3:30. Just like start getting the bat like I we just do bath first happy hour 3:30. Yeah, me too. But I do like will do bath time for like an hour get into dinner in five. So now that the weather is getting nicer. Yeah, like the pressure my wife gives me unlike we gotta get my wife always thinks every sunny day is the last sunny day. There'll ever be it's nice out. We have to go do shit. I'm like, it's fucking may there's going to be like 65 more of these days. That's everybody. Chill. All right. Yeah, I think we will pleasure so A lot of people agree with me. He only get the dregs. Somebody said they prefer being home because life flows easier. Yeah, that really no that's Keys Mom. That's weird. Whose mom Keys mom understand. I don't know what she means. I think she just maybe just more comfortable at home. I don't know. Well less stress for her good for her. Well, how about the since you had a wife who was at home and I have a wife my previous wife him. Yes, of course your current wife your wife number one for you current wife exactly that's bodes. Well for her, that's my current wife. That's how I introduce my wife to have your temporary. Um before I can sleep on the couch for the next four months and then so there's definitely a Vibe of okay. Enjoy your day off from the way. I wish I was I wish I could just sit in front of the computer. It's how it's all yeah described. If only if only I had that luxury you imagine just like sitting in front of it like just just sitting there sitting you're taking it completely literally she would prefer that than to pull that side. I believe that's actually what but it's just it just gets deadening no matter what you're doing and having the break as nice dragon mother says there is zero perks being a working parent. The stress level is constantly 100, which what you were saying, you're stressed at work you get home. It's just about the kids you're stressed about your wife because she thinks that you've been fucking gallivanting around at work. Yeah. Oh she calls it work drinks any time. I have an event. Yeah go or meetings an obligation for you. You don't love it. I have been some most of the times it's well, that's not true by your third beer. Yeah. Salt well most of the time it's if anyone mentions the word going to drinks after work. I'm I'm here in here. It doesn't matter who it's with only except during your break. You haven't started drinking again yet. Have you? No not yet, but I will soon great. Thanks. Thank you very much. Well, thanks. There's no visible. Whenever you're trying to accomplish is not work. It's failed. But no, I will the the just you know, trying to get out trying to like Avoid the Bedtime situation is yeah. So we've talked about this before where like if you were going out after work, if you're not going to be home to help with bedtime then stay out longer because your wife wants the benefit of the kids being down in her having a couple hours latest thing because that's what a lot of I've Been Told don't come home before 9:00. So if you're gonna go out, don't you bring your ass home and like right when I put everyone? Yeah, you know, I'm about to like and then it's like weird compact. We're like she just put on a movie. She was watching you don't want to Watch and it's like just you want you around in the room. You gotta go somewhere else and do some shit. So hey, shh. Heh Gia no idea if that's if that's correct pronunciation. So she likes being her own boss as like a stay-at-home mom, but she wants a fucking hot meal alone. Right like her kids are always around and somebody said the same thing K Walker 90 said the pro is that when you work from when you're a stay-at-home mom, you're always with them. The con is that you're always with them right? Your kids are always there which Is again you little bit isolated you're at home you maybe you're running errands, but you're not like interacting with adults as much which is why I play dates and wind dates and book club and stuff that start to come in. It's a but I mean the people that I interact with when I had jobs were not necessarily friends. No, no sure I get to interact with adults but not they're not like adults NSL. I always want to interact with yeah. One thing that I haven't seen I don't want to wreck with anyone adults are child or otherwise. Yeah. I'm sure the feeling is mutual. So The one thing I haven't seen here is working moms, you know coming back after you know after having a kid getting back into work like yeah is and I can only speak from you know, your lack of experience a lack of experience, but just seeing it it's really stressful and it's moms are expected to yeah, I work with they don't have kids and have kids like they don't work. Yeah, I think that's something like that. It's really I think that's a pillow the tunnels below situation. Oh my God, you're still talking I am. I'm still talking but you've never been a stay-at-home who's had to re-enter the workforce and have to deal with all that know. I know up here not all I'm saying. I'm acknowledge. I'm acknowledging it as something because I think that's a real that's it's really shitty. It's a stressful spot to be in because you're feeling about not what I from what I understand. You're filled with hormones still you're still going through but like we got a breast pump at work and breast pump an issue on this day and age and then you're feeling stressed about not being with the kids. Yeah. Well sort of You're feeling you might feel. Okay good about that. You're back in your career. Not sure. Yeah, but it's there's always trade-offs. Ew Bullard I think is a guy said they're both working. The money is good, but there's absence guilt which I suppose for a mom who was on maternity leave and like breastfeeding and doing all the bonding shit that must be tough and it's not to say that there aren't dads out there who are stay at home dads and they're doing some breastfeeding like to no avail, but it maybe it's a little fun, but they're into it, you know. Yeah, right, you know don't knock on whatever floats your boat. Yeah, but people do say Like Jenny Ginger says she's feeling I see feeling isolated sucks. And this is one of the reasons there's so many mom bloggers right and like moms on Instagram because a lot of them are at home and they start to form communities online and they start reading my blog and hopefully subscribing to my podcast and give me money on patreon. That's what they do right to have connection. Yeah that they don't necessarily have with other adults, right? They go on my Instagram and they share all my shit. I don't I yeah, it's a great solution, right? It will help you feel more connected to the mom and dad blog community. No solution. Wow, it is not the final status. Final solution is paying us to keep Pete's mouth shut. Yeah. There we go. God damn it. Yeah, really brought us down. I rent really this is a real fucking deep. Well did not think we were gonna next week the Holocaust. Yeah. Well, I mean, come on we gotta keep it alive. Let's keep if we're going to do something like that. We gotta remember we should talk about something like abducted in plain sight and those other movies those true-crime things there. Very entertaining they are entertaining. I mean, they're also incredibly horrific. Yes. It's like no more now with all this. Of course we do is I like crime is necessarily going up. We just hear about every single fucking exactly every single little crime. They say that our brains aren't wired to take in so much information from so many different sources at once. Yeah, but you know, who knows? I don't know how my brains wired. I'm not a scientist. Well, I'll just also add that being working dad has definitely has Acted in the workplace. So being a dad that's that, you know, go that doesn't coach that has to go home. Hey, that's the kind of take timeout has death babysitter's kids. That's definitely an impact you babysit your kids. I don't babysit a parent my kids fucking fucking a right man. You passed the test dad's don't babysit their parent make those they knows what's up? Yeah. That's right, baby says, he's a fucking mr. Maugham type but he doesn't have kids so it's not offensive. Yeah, but I think just to finish out like I do think that there's there is impact to working dad's you mean like benefits like, you know, no impact so meaning, you know, not not like not nowhere near the impact of keep saying impact said again, in fact fucking dare you okay of you know a mom going back to work but you know dads that are really involved and want to be involved. Yes, there's impact that they want it all to No, we want it all to Dad's. Yeah, but want to bring home the bacon and we want to have bonding time with our baby's not snotty. Right? It's none of it's easy. You know what none of this parenting stuff is easy now workings not easy in this day and age. No, I mean your blog the me to World unless you're like just an Instagram person who just post means all the in mocking me. No, I'm saying that I wish that was my fuck. I wish I got paid for that shadow, right? I know that's the goal, right? That is the goal. Yeah to make enough money off of off of talking to you. You that I don't have to talk to anyone else except my wife and children. Unfortunately, cool. Well, I think we gotta do we have anything else probably. Oh, look at this.

Who has it easier working parents or the stay at home ones? What a wonderful question. These are the wonderful kind of riddles or games we play as parents. They're great because there are no winners just losers. Losers who are now in a huge fight. In this episode Mike and Pete aren't afraid to fight with each other, even though they're both on the same side (such a wonderful game). They take on the pros and cons of being a working parent vs being a stay at home one and we hear from the Dad and Buried parents to have a lot to say on the matter. ------------ Moms and Dads, WE NEED YOU! This show and these dank memes won't feed our families (we've tried). We need your support to keep this up. We love making this stuff for you guys and we're putting this out there so see if we can make the switch so that this can be more than a hobby 🙏 (that our families hate).
