[quote=Anonymous]I'm a man. What I do includes scheduling and paying for: doctor appointments, birthday parties, extracurricular sports and music, summer camps, car insurance and taxes, Federal & State taxes, before- and after-care, 529s (I set them up and they are mostly automated but in December I usually make an "extra" contribution). I do my own laundry and the kids laundry. I cook dinner for the kids after I pick them up in the evening. When we have needed to do some home improvements, I interview contractors, decide which to use, arrange it, pay for it. I frankly don't regard all this as a huge burden of invisible / mental labor.
