[quote=Anonymous]Gay male couple.  We fight about this a lot.  We work similar long hours (I maybe work a little more day-to-day but DH travels for work more to it ends up evening out).  I make way more (we could live off my income alone).  Neither have much flexibility.  Our fight is that DH wants us to do everything ourselves where I am happy to outsource.  So DH does a lot more and sometimes complains about it but a lot of what he does I would prefer to hire someone or let our very competent nanny handle it.  E.g., I would be glad to have the cleaners come twice a week and then never lift a finger to sweep or vacuum, DH insists we don’t need the help then complains about how much time he spends sweeping and vacuuming.  DH wants to be the one to take the kids to all their random appointments while I am fine having the nanny take them to the dentist or get antibiotics for the latest ear infection (I agree a parent should be there if they need to see a specialist or something, but for most stuff it’s not worth it for us to rush out of work and then spend the entire night catching up).  DH tries to make it to every little appointment but then he gripes about having to be up late WAH to make it up.[/quote]
