[quote=Anonymous]We both work full-time, similar hours, similar pay. I do probably 80% of the day to day housework and 60% of the child care, although he does all of the technical/fixing stuff (except big projects, which we outsource). Which a) is still a huge help relative to not having him and b) we only got to this point with couples' therapy (not that this was the major issue that brought us there). It's not fair in some sense, but it's also manageable now that they're not infants or toddlers anymore. (We're paying a lot for childcare now, at my insistence.) When they were younger, it was a fight to even get him to wake up in the mornings and do anything with them. Now he sometimes takes initiative on his own with doing stuff with the kids or doing dishes, and generally listens to me when I ask him to do something. If you told me this was going to be the situation before we had kids, I would not have had kids with him. But I'm fairly happy.[/quote]
