[quote=Anonymous]Unless he takes on an equal amount of the domestic work you two have today without being asked / conjoled / managed to do it - I would not risk it.

My husband would say all the right things and truly want to deliver on a commitment to do 50/50 but at the end of the day he doesn't have the personality for it.  He's blind to domestic work that needs to be done, seems incapable of advanced planning to make things run smoothly, and is not the type to research anything about a kid or their needs (at 11 months he flipped our car seat forward facing b/c "it seemed more comfortable" - it never even occurred to him there might be a guideline on that to google)

I believe he would be very sincere when making the promises to me but then be incapable of delivering (due to personality, the way he was raised, "being male", his particular skillset - who knows why but that's him).  If you have any doubt on your husbands ability to deliver and you'll be miserable if you're stuck with the work, don't have a kid.[/quote]
