[quote=Anonymous]That's what my husband said, rather indignantly, while defending his decision to assume that I could again miss work for a child's doctor appointment, whereas he needn't do so. We both work full time and make the same amount of money. I am not a SAHM or working a light part time schedule. I have a full time job, just like he does, and I'm expected to show up there and do a decent job. But he has concluded that because he is marginally more involved than his colleagues, most of whom have stay at home wives and consider it a badge of honor that they've never attended conferences, he must be a superstar.

I am so completely overwhelmingly exhaustingly the default parent, and the default responsible homeowner, and the default responsible pet owner, as well as the scheduler/planner of everything that functional adults need to do, and I'm wiped out.  So hearing that he's doing more than the do-nothinga that he knowns doesn't really move the needle for me.

Help me figure out how to get through to him without completely losing my mind when he tries to explain that his occasional interest in showing up for something that happens to be convenient for him means he's really an equal partner in all this.
