It feels like sometimes the societal expectation is the parent who worked all day should now come home and take over the homemaker job, so the homemaker from 8-4 can rest. Don't forget weekends.
When does the working parent rest?

Depends on the age of kids. If you have a few kids below 5 then that societal expectation is pretty reasonable. If the kids are school aged then I’d say those expectations are unreasonable.
