On: Spaceship that mows the lawn

I'm mostly befuddled that he considers 4 hours of time with his child a waste. Feeling unproductive while walking with a stroller? Listen to a podcast. Do audio lessons for some new language. Record some thoughts, since he's a coach he could "write" a draft of a self-help book or something. It's the easiest chore to combine with other things.

There's a strong implication that he wouldn't even be doing this if his wife is wasn't a "physical wreck" after the birth.

You have a small baby, sleep schedules are all over the place, pitching in isn't some chore you do just while she's out of commission, there's a human to bring up to adulthood.

Let's be charitable. Taking 5 hour strolls with an infant every day isn't usual.

The author is clearly not in a good place. Ours firstborn was really difficult too, the lack of good sleep and free time can really wear you down.
