[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is not saying he does not help. He is saying DW wants him to do more chores which can be difficult on a daily basis if he comes home tired from working an entire day.

He is tired from working for an entire day, while she is obviously fresh as a daisy from a day spent running around after a toddler, cleaning and straightening the house, cooking, etc, with no mental or physical time for herself. No doubt she is also the one who gets up with the kid at night and early every morning. Got it. [/quote]
She can take a nap during the day. [/quote]

How is she supposed to nap when the house needs cleaning and the food needs cooking? If she is truly doing this stuff, then she has a full-time job or more. In which case they have both worked a full day when DH gets home and he can get off his ass and do his part.

It's threads like these that make me thankful that my husband and I work jobs with similar hours and similar earnings and then also split everything roughly 50-50 at home. We each took extended maternity/paternity leaves with both kids and agreed that staying home is hard from a mental perspective. Too easy for the stay at home parent to be on 24/7 while the working parent gets a break.[/quote]

Neither the cooking nor the cleaning happen nonstop, especially not in an apartment where the husband is away for most of the day. What does she have to cook beyond dinner, which takes barely an hour?[/quote]
