[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Husband here.  I do bedtime three nights a week. My wife does three. One is joint (Friday night pizza night.)

When I do bedtime, I do it.  Handle all the kids.  Brush teeth. Read books.  Take responsibility for kids going down and staying in room.

When wife does bedtime, I regularly get asked to stop what I'm doing (usually working, this is part of my scheduled work time) to brush teeth or find stuffed animals or otherwise help out.  Often wife gets frustrated with kids.  Some nights she is so frustrated that I have to take over.

This isn't hard. I take responsibility for what I have to do.  Why can't my wife take the same responsibility, and do so cheerfully without getting mad at me or kids?

(Yes we divide up responsibilities evenly. Kids. Cooking. Weekends. Cleaning.  It's a good marriage.)

Husbands, what do you do in circumstances like this? [/quote]

You sound like a know it all.  So your wife cant handle bedtime.  Im sure there is something you arent good at.
