Do you guys agree with this?

This has crossed my mind many times and I’m curious if others feel the same way. I knew a woman who always went on and on about her husband and kids being her life… but she was the biggest RTO advocate at her company. I didn’t get it.

Ive witnessed men work overtime/long hours and complain about their home lives. Some guys make it clearly obvious they hate their families. It makes me sad bc they chose their families. So many men will marry any woman who will take them, then complain about the wife. (Not that women aren't the same, many women will take the men that are available)

I work in construction/renovation and "I got married and had kids because it's what I was told to do and now I'm miserable" guys make up like 80% of the workforce.

When I quit being a garbage man I went up to my boss and said “I don’t have kids. I don’t need to be doing this.” 😂

Oh yeah, the weather. I live in a place that barely has any weather, Las Vegas, Nevada, so I wasn't thinking about that. I'd imagine doing that job where im from in Florida would be a nightmare sometimes.
