[quote=Anonymous]Guy here. Husband. I want to know if I am being a good husband when it comes to house hold chores. So: married a decade, two young kids, I’m primary earner $250k and we are happy with that. If she work full time could be another 100-150k but we are happy on my income don’t spend a lot and save decent amount. I work 80% from home (pre pandemic) and spend a lot of time at my desk

I do not clean, cook or laundry. I do vacuum most of the house (big house), do almost all of yard work (2 acres), take care of cars, I’m not much of handyman but I get pros to do anything I cannot.

I spend a fair amount of time watching kids. help with about half the homework, and do all sports and afterschool stuff for son swim class and baseball about 3 times a week. daughter too young.. wants to only be with mom.

Occasionally do grocery although when pandemic started I did all grocery as I didn’t want her exposed. Now I do the ‘big one’ every week or two and she does the short quick trips.

I’ve told her several times to get maid help if needed but she hasn’t. But I feel like she expects me to do more! Yes she spends a LOT of time cooking cleaning taking care of kids and maybe I don’t spend that much time ‘working’ since I WFM it probably seems like I’m just goofing off being lazy etc. but I do work and make money. I feel her frustration. But if I am not working at my desk we don’t get $$$. She complains she has to take care of everything and I am sitting with my legs up on the desk for hours a day. :-(

I’m punished for having a cushy job that I don’t need to put lot of time or effort into 6-8hr/day and I get my work done.
