So 'workaholic' is a word for someone who dedicates almost their entire life to their job & loves it. Do we need 'homeaholic' (or something)
I know there are some and this deserves no moral judgement just as being a workaholic doesn't if it is what you thrive on and love.

I think, in reality, we nearly all need a mix of the domestic/familial & the intellectual/professional/practical work/interests balance.

Just met another person presenting being at home *all the time* as women's role & equivalent to men's of going to work for 40 hrs a week.
-
Which it clearly isn't coz in this depiction men don't stay at work *all the time* They come home & spend similar amount of time with family
-
If they don't but spend nearly all their waking hours at work, they are a workaholic & have a right to be but we don't advocate it for all
-
Similarly, the women who they advocate spending nearly all their waking hours parenting & doing domestic stuff would be ....homeaholics?
-
Which again is their right if they want to do this (and have a partner who wants to support them to do it) but it is advocated for everyone?
-
So this would seem to be not only an ethical failure 'Men shld do this & women shld do that* but not even consistent internally.
