Or raising kids. As someone who excels at hard manly thing, but does hard womanly things badly for a living instead, I have different perspective. I don't do it because I insist, I do it because that is what my family needs me to do. My sisters all make it look easy. But they don't have 3/4 of their brain designing novel communication protocols and cathedrals on Mars 100% of the time.

I was in the same position you're in. 😂 At home with the little kids, but mentally off in engineering land. Teaching math and rhetoric classes for homeschoolers, and catechism classes, was my only reprieve.
I wasn't bad at it, but... yeah. The other women were better. I'm better at not sleeping with the gardner or blowing the milk money on shoes, tho.
Last time I was at home with the kids, I got into Bitcoin. 😂 Staying true to type.
I am excellent at not blowing milk money on a gardener. I rake my own leaves thank you very much.
Also. Doing things you are bad at has it's own rewards. Here is my current predicament and why I can neither code nor vacuum.

Oh
How

My wife claims he left behind a trail of broken hearts at the doctor's office yesterday.
I've got to teach him not to promise in smiles that which he cannot pay in snuggles.
Just occured to me, that I dealt with not doing hard manly stuff by doing hard womanly stuff.
Can't engineer?
Teach logic lessons.
