[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the hell is going on? [b]He has leave, you don't . He uses it. [/b]What kind of a jerk wouldn't agree to that. You used all yours because you were pushing a human being out of your vagina. As soon as he is willing to do that then he can have things be more equal. He needs to grow up and do his part. If either of you are under the impression that this marriage and kids thing is gonna be equal then you are going to be more and more disappointed. You are a team and you each do what needs to be done to move forward. Sometimes you give 80 and only get 20, sometimes you only give 20 and get 80. Hopefully at the end of the journey you end up somewhere around 50/50 but maybe not. If you are keeping score you will never, ever be happy or satisfied. Also be really careful that your kids don't feel like they are a burden to you when they are sick. It isn't their fault![/quote]

That fact that you think it can be boiled down to amount of leave, without any other factors, and then pivot immediately to ranting about inequality between men and women shows you're just not thinking critically about this.  [/quote]

The OP didn't indicate any other mitigating factors other than amount of leave and I wasn't ranting about the inequality between men and women, I was talking about the inequality between the poster and her husband. If you want to go and apply a whole imaginary host of factors that the OP mentioned, you are more than welcome but it isn't relevant. [/quote]

You truly are too dense for words.  [/quote]
