[quote=Anonymous]I'm the breadwinner but I work similar hours to my husband so we split the housework evenly. However, we set up a schedule for when things get done and who will do them (i.e. Wednesday and Sunday - he vacuums). We didn't have a set list of who does what when we got married and I ended up doing everything and resenting the hell out of it. It's really helped us to have an agreement as to who does what so I don't end up shouldering all of the housework. For parenting, he has as much responsibility as I do. Pregnancy and breastfeeding were the only things I could do that he couldn't; other than that, no free passes. Unless something requires a uterus, vagina or a functioning mammary gland, it isn't gendered work and sure as shit shouldn't default to the woman doing it. [/quote]
