A lot of people that want to travel can't handle the hard stuff. It seems more about how you deal with that than how you deal with the good stuff.

Same with careers. Lot of people chase the good stuff then realise all the bad shit makes it terrible. I also noticed a few women who really want to be high in their career to stick it to the man. They either really sexist people or they find out that no one actually cares and that all the guys that have made it to the top worked really hard and put a lot of hours in. Suddenly they realise that what they will have to do too and they completely lose interest.

Being a house wife has a lot of perks and limited downsides, if you don't mind the downsides it's really really appealing.
