[quote=Anonymous]Dh and I have an ongoing argument.  He believes his contributions to our household are more strenuous than mine and that he therefore deserves to sit down and relax after doing the dishes. I usually vacuum after putting the kids to bed. But I really resent his relaxing while work remains and I'm busy with childcare. I then have no interest in spending the little amount of time we have to enjoy each others company with him and would rather just go to bed. I finally convinced him to play with the kids and let me clean up after dinner (including vacuuming) so that it was all done by the time kids go to bed, but in talking it out I'm still pissed that he actually believes he does more than me?!? He's a good contributor.  Cooks on the weekends for the week, and does the dishes. He also pays the bills (physically- we are equal earners) and maintains our tiny yard. I do ALL the childcare, including mornings, afternoons, pickups and dropoffs, activities, bath and bedtime. I have proposed several times trying to split the type of work we each do but he is not interested. Should I suck it up and let it go? I have tried to go in early to work once a week and leave him with the morning routine, but every week, he "just can't do it this week" so I really don't think he gets it. Thoughts? Kids are 1 and 4.
