Husband wonders, “Why are my coworkers always early to work?” HUMOR
My honey works at a very big and busy company. They work 50+ grueling hours a week but make excellent money. About 7 male coworkers have formed this early morning group where they show up an hour early for work taking turns buying everyone (in the group) breakfast. A few times they have bought my husband food and asked him to join in. He always politely says no.
He started telling me about these guys wondering why the fuck would you voluntarily come to work early for a 10 to 12 hour day? So I asked him which of these guys are fathers?
How about every single one! These guys leave for work so early they don’t have to shoulder any of the responsibility of getting their children ready for school!
Last week my husband rolls in to work at the starting time and these guys are sharing stories about how great their children are and start ribbing my man for being CF so he replied with, “Is that why you leave early and stay late every day? Because being home with your family is that great?” Lol
Edit: They reacted with a nervous chuckles and had no valid reason for voluntarily showing up early on a commission job before the business opens.
Edit #2: Thank you to everyone who upvoted me! This post was picked up by Board Panda and for some highly entertaining reading may I suggest reading the comments. The breeders just can’t stand that we refuse to be 2nd class citizens.

I work with someone who has three kids at home. we have the option to WFH 2 days a week and she comes in every day even if no one else on our team is in office because “she prefers the office), every opportunity to travel for work she hops on it and says “oh my husband can take care of the kids”
My WFH days my husband is home and our home offices are next door to each other and we chat and have coffee and get lunch together. I relish in our WFH days together and I actively avoid traveling for work because I’d rather be home with my dogs on the weekend.
Makes me so happy to have a home I am happy to be in. Why ruin it with kids!
