[quote=Anonymous]We consider our careers to be of equal importance. We both have a fair amount of flexibility. Right now what we do is have a schedule for the week where on different days of the week, one person is assigned as default back up for sickness or babysitter absence. I try to schedule my necessary meetings around those days. But we also try to give each other flexibility. There is always going to be a ton of friction regardless of what you do. The only solution is to try and have a somewhat equitable system and not keep score. I would sit down maybe with a counselor if you think that might help and hammer out an agreement. Like if you both agree that both people’s jobs are equally important, maybe you can agree to alternate turns with the added flexibility of being able to trade a turn here and there.[/quote]
