[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14:18, you are a drama queen.. most women have babies, come home and cook, do laundry, with  little or no help.  MAYBE,  the get their breakfast in bed on Mother's Day!  You really are a PITA.[/quote]

Wait, how does this make me a drama queen and PITA? I could do it all and I'm not saying I can't. I obviously do do it all when DH is on work travel or working late/early. I don't force or nag my DH to do anything. It's a partnership. He's currently doing a lot of household stuff naturally because I am doing a lot of baby care. Once we're both back to work I'm sure it'll shift and we'll find another rhythm. Wow this thread has gone off the rails (and I realize I've been part of that). But between the idea that women should do it all because they've done it all historically and countless women before them have done it and still do it and the whole men need to step it up and meal trains just reinforce the patriarchy...I mean is the moon full or something today?

Anyways, [b]OP I was happy to get literally any meal from someone. [/b]Especially things that were easy to heat up and eat one handed like pastas. I literally would've been happy with a box of granola bars/energy bars because sometimes I'd grab something like that for lunch if it was a particularly hard day with the baby. But seriously, I appreciated it all. [/quote]
