[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dh is an adult, and I am not a maid.  If he left his lunchbag with dirty tupperware on the kitchen table, that's where he'd find it the next morning.

I SAH with a 5yo and 3yo.  I pretty much do everything in the house, including dinner each night, but after dinner one of us helps the kids get ready for bed and the other does the dishes.  DH helps fold laundry in the evenings if it needs to be done.  To be fair - he generates alot of it, between working out, office clothes, home clothes.

It's hard when the kids are little.  My oldest just started school, and the youngest is in morning preschool for two hours each day, so I feel like there's a chance I'll start to catch up on things. But I do expect dh to act like a responsible member of the family and take care of things the family needs when he is at home.[/quote]

I am a working DH with SAHM wife and this is us.  She handles pretty much all of the domestic stuff but I help when I get home, especially with regard to the dinner to bedtime ritual.  But to emphasize, SAHM DW handles pretty much 100% of the domestic otherwise (meals, groceries, doctors appointments, gift buying).  Of course, if she is having a bad day or needs me to chip in more from time to time, I am willing to help.  Weekend child watching is at least 50-50 if not more of me doing child stuff.[/quote]
