[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are the kids?   [b]Honestly, I do nearly everything on your list and that’s just the way it is in our house.[/b]   When everything went south last year I did tell dh he was in charge of folding laundry from now on, as I can’t do everything.  Maybe pick a thing or two and tell her you need her to do it.  No emotionally charged conversation, just factual that your list is too long, and she’ll need to start whatever it is.  Can she do pick up or drop off? [/quote]

That’s cool if it works for your family, but it doesn't have to be that way and it sounds like OP does not want his household run this way.

Figure out what you want. Ask her what she wants and perhaps try to meet each other halfway.[/quote]

My point is that for most households, that split is common, and it’s the wife doing all those things.  I’m not saying he shouldn’t renegotiate the labor split, just saying its a pretty common one, with the wife taking those duties on in addition to a full-time job. [/quote]
