Stay at home partners are required to cook and clean. That is essentially there job.

My husband works 55 hour weeks as a chef. I stay home with our 2 year old and 4 year and do all the house work mainly because he’s at work all the time and naturally I’m going to because I’m home. He cooks dinner on his day off, cleans sometimes and gives me a sleep in because at the end of the day, he knows how fucking stressful my week has been and at the end of the day, he lives in this house as well and should help clean it. Yes, he works hard but he does not have the mental workload that I do. He doesn’t have the stress of kids. The isolation. He has social interaction. He has a lunch break. His job is not 24/7. Due to how much he works, I am happy to cook his dinner, wash his clothes etc but at the end of the day, he tells me he could NOT do what I do. He said he would much rather work full time than manage the incredible stress of childcare, cooking, cleaning, finances, grocery shopping and not to mention trying to make the time to also educate and build relationships with our children.
