[quote=Anonymous]DH is a great father and is definitely more helpful at home vs. several of my friends' husbands from what it seems - he helps with cleaning and cooking, is engaged with the kids, and is generally willing to do anything when asked (it just may take him a while to actually do it). We both work full time out of the house and have big jobs, but somehow nearly all other household, kid and other tasks fall on me. Grocery shopping, dry cleaning, running any errands for the kids/adults, finding and coordinating after school and weekend babysitters, making plans with friends (with and without kids), planing kids' birthday parties, coordinating kids' schedules outside of school, planning any vacations or trips we take, making and attending kids' doctors appointments, and so on. DH manages our finances - pays our mortgage, car payments and credit card bills, etc (although I pay basic bills that come in like dr bills).

I am just curious how others divide everything up. I constantly feel like I am spread way too thin and while DH is willing to step up he just isn't good at some things like making plans, grocery shopping, etc so I constantly end up doing it all.[/quote]
