Clueless man asks stay-at-home mom if she 'even' works 40 hours a week, faces roasting: 'Telling my kids it's 5 o'clock, so I'm clocking out'

While parenting is a topic that can generate endless debates with those who both have children and don't, there is usually one thing that most people agree on: it's a difficult thing to do. Being responsible for one to several small human beings can be an overwhelming task, and unlike most jobs, it's not something that has a set schedule.

Apparently, though, this is something that bypassed one man who faced criticism on Twitter after asking a stay-at-home mom a stupid question. Querying whether she "even come[s] close" to working 40 hours a week in her role, she shared her ire with the internet where everyone was just as outraged as she was. While hands-on parenting can be rewarding when you look back, it is not a role you can take on while expecting it to be part-time. Kids don't care about your free time, or your sleep schedule.
