[quote=Anonymous]I am the PP where DW makes more than twice what I make, but has greater flexibility. We are both femme. There are certain things that we are each responsible for because they fall into areas we are most comfortable (home repair, medical issues with the kids, communication with school/homework, etc.) And if one can't do it, the other does (ie. DW always take the kids to the dentist because she can flex her schedule to do it.) But if the dishwasher needs to be unloaded or kids' baseball uniforms need to be cleaned, it is whoever is home and can get it done. We either grocery shop together on the weekend or one of us will go based on what is going on.

Becoming the default parent is really based on our work schedules. If DW is working from home, she will pause to make dinner and drive to sports and I will pick up on my way home. But if she has all day meetings in DC or is traveling, than I do it.

But also, now that the kids are older, they do a lot of their own laundry, empty dishwasher, mow the grass, etc.[/quote]
