This. A lot of the projects that you need to do for a house are things that aren't terribly hard to do yourself (or figure out how — YouTube is loaded with tutorials!), and it's a very, very good thing to learn and internalize.

But what if you have newborns or an exhausting family? Figuring out how to do all of this oneself on top of all of that is pretty stressful.

its a mindset, lots of us find these chores either fun, or even relaxing.

Wife/kids aren't going to bother you while you're mowing for example, can't hear them while a chainsaw is running...
