[quote=Anonymous]I significantly out earned my DH for a long time, although we had equally stressful jobs (govt vs private sector). I expected to be equal partners. However that doesn't mean we split things 50/50 every day or even every week. Sometimes I needed to take the lead on childcare/household stuff and sometimes he did. It's best if you look at this as a partnership over the long term and figure out what you each like to do and are suited to do, and what you can outsource, and what you need to suck up and split up. I do bill paying, kids schedules, vacation planning, clean up after meals. He does all the cooking, a lot of laundry (maybe 75/25), gardening. We outsource cleaning and basic landscaping. We shared things like school pickup, sports practices, staying home with sick kids, etc. But again, that wasn't set in stone - If I was traveling obviously he would be 100% on, and vice versa.[/quote]
