[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine is awesome but that is the reason I married him.  I grew up in a household where my Mom worked and my Dad did an equal (if not greater) share of the child care and household duties.  There is no way I would have married someone unless I knew he would be an equal partner in family duties.  We're not rich (i.e. he's not a workaholic) but we eat breakfast and dinner together everyday, he does most of the cooking, he takes the kids on trips by himself so that I can have a break, etc.  We have a great life.

I guess I don't consider it luck, I just had high standards and wouldn't compromise on them.[/quote]

+1! Mine is awesome, but largely because I made my expectation very clear that we would share the household and childcare duties. He does more childcare and drop offs because his work is closer to day care. I do more chores around the house because I am better at those than he is. We've split family duties according to who is better at what. He is devoted, loving, caring and happiest when spending time with the family. At the same time, each of us takes care of DC alone one or two evenings per week so that the other person has time to themselves to do what they please. It works out really well for us. The beginning of the relationship was rough though. I had to make my needs and expectations very clear and leave it to him whether or not he wanted to be in a relationship that required him to step up.  [/quote]
