[quote=Anonymous]Why does nursing mean most of the baby responsibilities are on you?  Your DH can do diapers, laundry, bath, playtime, outdoor time, clean and prep bottles for daycare, a million things.  Soon the baby will be eating food, and your DH can prepare, feed, and clean up.  There is no reason he can't do all of these things.  You think you don't need him now, but your child needs an involved father, and if you have another baby you sure will need DH to be involved.  So get him going now.

I am not the breadwinner at all, and here is our split.  DH does daycare pickup and dropoff, and almost all of the cooking and cleanup, as well as the grocery shopping.  He also maintains the car, deals with computers, does most of our travel planning, and is the point person for home maintenance and home improvement issues as they come up.  Yes, he is stellar.  I do slightly more than half of the childcare, baths, laundry and make sure DD has appropriate clothes and other items, stay on top of Amazon purchasing such as pull-ups, do various other home tasks like keeping closets organized, and lead our involvement in the neighborhood school.
