[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. I wish I had this problem. There is no parenting task that we split like this and absolutely no parenting task at which he is better than me. I dream of something he can automatically do and be effective and calm about without needing step by step hand holding.

Ages matter here - if kids are over 3, this is unacceptable and you should talk to her and tell her you will not be able to respond because you are 1. Wearing headphones, on a call.... If kids are 6 months and 2 years old, well I have more sympathy for needing back up.[/quote]

It was similar with my XH. I did most all parenting tasks and he was supposed to do most all household tasks. He didn’t keep up his end of the deal in a couple of areas but when he did it made such a huge difference. Any alleviated burden is helpful with young children. Maybe OP’s wife would be better cleaning or doing laundry or managing the accounts or anything other than bedtime. Maybe she does mornings and dad does evenings? I don’t know but there are many ways to divide a pie. [/quote]
