I think later in life mike gets a lot of pity cast onto him from others when he says he doesn't work and is a home maker.

well. some people aren't nice cuz people tend to hate others who don't work, but I think others tend to pity him because he's a man and should be out working and it's just so sad that he stays at home all day cooking and cleaning. and for quite a few years mike was depressed over the life he lead, but eventually started viewing it in a different way and makes peace with it. he likes that he can have his friends come home to a clean home and dinner on the table. he really ends up in the life he said he'd never have when he was younger, and he's okay with it.

although he probably does get lonely throughout the day. with peter and davy working at the school and micky back as a mechanic, he has whole days by himself and it's not the way it used to be and it makes him sad sometimes, but he tries to keep his head up and know that it's for the better of all of them and it's much more steady income now that they're getting older

#the monkees #m&m headcanon #as we go along #80s home maker mike...fhink about it #thw guys didnt impose that role onto him by any means btw. its just what comes to him naturally #theyre aware that he can't always get things done as his health often isn't great and his arthritis puts him in a world of pain somedays #but he grew up always doing heavy chores cuz both of his parents worked and its good for him to have something to keep him active #although others try to frame his life as depressing and dead end. comparing him to a sad house wife but its really tye opposite #hes much happier in his later years and his glad for a stable peaceful and most importantly Safe home life
