[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These posts always make me sad. I think I must just have a really good marriage because we both just pitch in all the time. There is no dividing chores, if it needs to be done, we just dive right in. Both of us. [/quote]

Why does it make you sad? My kids like the predictability of mom does x and dad does y and we also alternate bedtime with each kid to make sure we get a little 1:1 time with each child. There are definitely times it’s not as efficient to have both parents around and it works better to stagger a little. I liked when I was not working from home that my husband did all the morning stuff and so did he because he can do it all (if we have prepped the night before) and I can start my work day earlier and end earlier. It’s ok now because I don’t have commute time but if I ever go back to the office we will have to be more efficient [/quote]

That poster is probably not the primary caregiver/household manager in the relationship.  Only someone who doesn’t bear responsibility for things left undone feels that both partners “just pitching in” is a good way to divide chores and parenting responsibilities evenly.  [/quote]

Not all of us are control freak SAHMs, PP. Many of us fortunate enough to have equal partners. I'm sorry you don't understand how that works.[/quote]
