Could you be a househusband?

In this age of gender neutrality and role reversals, it's perhaps no surprise that househusbands are more common than ever. In the United States, for example, the percentage of households with stay-at-home dads has increased exponentially, this despite the fact that men have traditionally linked their 'worth' to their ability in providing for their family's financial needs. But what happens in a relationship when a husband finds he is financially dependent on his wife and the roles reverse? In other words, the breadwinner becomes homemaker? Click through and find out if you could be the man about the house.

The Unexpected Plant GardenTok Is Obsessed With Right Now

No garden is complete without this delicious plant. You may have recently discovered you have a green thumb and want to take your planting skills to the next level with a garden. But unlike watering your house plants, creating a garden requires some finesse when picking the right plants for the season. You want to ensure your planter boxes and gardens have a mix of perennials, shrubs, and trees for year-round color and interest. And before you start planting seeds, you need to know your USDA Hardiness zone (check yours here) to ensure a plant can survive winter in your climate. Also, you need to pay attention to how much sun or shade area an area of your garden receives. Full sun means 6 or more hours of direct sunlight, while partial sun is about half that timeframe. Full shade means an area gets no direct sun or only a smidge of the morning sun. Follow the plant tag or description because you can’t get around it: Sun lovers need light to flower and flourish, while shade lovers will fry in the hot sun. We have curated a list of the best types of plants every garden needs to thrive.
