Don’t be a parent. :)

You have to cook, wash dishes, wash clothes, make sure everyone gets baths, etc, etc. Help with homework, etc. A whole bunch of post 8 hour work day labor.

Yeah, but you chose that.
This is a huge part of the problem IMO. Plenty of people have busy schedules, but they also have autonomy, and they get to make decisions about what is important to them and what isn't. Kids have none of that.
He could be a parent and hire help for all that.
Dude. Just because your life requires an arduous slog through each day doesn't mean you need to project that onto your kids.
