[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Work less or hire someone for ALL your chores. Men who work 55-60 hrs/wk don't also cook for the baby and do household chores, make dr's appts, etc etc etc. You need a stay at home husband or a husband who works part-time, or you need to hire some kind of household manager.

How do you have 100+ hrs of work between the two of you and can't afford a house that doesn't need fixing + a working fridge? Maybe you should rent for awhile or something?[/quote]

OP: We do have a working fridge :) But my point is when it broke, I had to look up what was wrong for 1 hour, make phone calls the next day to find a technician, coordinate with the technician to come over, clean up the mess, etc. Similarly with the leak. My point is I do very little in terms of business as usual chores around the house so I can't complain about that but this other stuff still alway adds up for a few hours a week cause there's always something.

Agree with your point - but who does these tasks for these men? [/quote]
