[quote=Anonymous]My best friend is a teacher and she definitely takes on the majority of childcare during the summer because she isn't working. I used to be a fed lawyer so I'd have the kids on the government holidays that my husband didn't have off (like Veteran's Day, for example). But I'm pretty firm about our marriage being equal, so I would be really annoyed if I were in your shoes. And by the way, by "equal" I don't mean I bean count, because I don't at all, but we both make sure the other person is doing ok and figure out what we can do to support them at any given point. For example, my husband has had to be working out of the house for the last two weeks (we both normally work from home), so I have been asking him what I can do to make his life easier because I know it's harder to have to deal with a commute and work longer hours than normal. I don't have to do anything for him, but I care about him so I'm willing to get up earlier if it means he can sleep in since his days are currently harder than mine. So I just can't understand how your spouse would be fine letting you continue to work full days and they just lounge around the pool. [/quote]
