[quote=Anonymous]It's kind of like at a law firm, you have to bill enough hours before you'll even be considered.

It requires owning your tasks and your mistakes. If what they really want is to do a half-assed job and have their wife deal with the fallout (like when they fail to register for camps on time so the only camps left are not convenient), then they aren't really being a partner at all. Being a partner means doing a good job. It doesn't have to be the same as what your wife would do, but it must be well-thought-out and timely, with consideration for every person in the family not just himself.

My DH being really good about owning his tasks is the best thing that's ever happened for our marriage. I'm still the primary parent because he has a lot of work travel, so everything in our family must be manageable for me when he's away, but if he says he will do something I have 100% confidence it will be done well and with consideration of my needs and preferences. I would not have married him if this were a problem.[/quote]
