Recently the mrs & I have swapped roles at home and I'm struggling a little with being the stay at home dad. My job involved driving in excess of 2k miles a week & a lot of hours.
After lengthy discussions on what to do, we decided it was time to swap round which is fine, I'm far less stressed & she's thoroughly enjoying the challenge of her new position.
Thing is, after being on the go almost constantly, I'm struggling for things to do! All this washing, shopping & school run malarkey is immensely boring, bordering tedious!
Anyone else been through this & what did you do to combat the boredom? I've already got a right arm like a bodybuilder

"Maybe look at open uni or a project. "
Actually, I do have an old Yamaha fzr streetfighter in the shed that wants a revamp.
Forgot about the old girl!  |

"Surprised you haven't triggered the 'full-time mums' who do the 'hardest job in the world' with this post! "
What's hard about it? It's just a case of managing your time properly & doing what needs to be done.
(That should get them going) |

Lots of mums who aren't working full time get a part time job or they volunteer to hear children read at school or do admin work or go in trips. Contact the kids school, there is plenty to do to help. |
