[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, OP, I feel like I wrote this tonite because you sound just like me except I mostly SAH [I WAH about 12 hrs/wk].  I was just thinking I needed an, as you put it, everything chart too.  In fact, [b]one of the reasons I haven't returned to WOH FT is because I know none of the division of labor will change.[/b]  Sorry I don't have advice, but you have my support.[/quote]

Except, you SAH, so the things she describes is explicitly part of your job description.[/quote]

Yeah, I knew someone would say that.  But some things are NOT part of the SAH job description.  Namely:

"literally find DH's dirty socks under the dining room table every morning, and am constantly putting things away that he takes out but forgets to put back. When he takes the kids out, he leaves bags of random stuff around the house and in the car--diapers, half eaten  bagels, dirty clothes, dirty bottles, and doesn't put this stuff away. "  -I clean the house but I'm not a freaking maid.

"DH will just pile up papers and bags for weeks. I've tried ignoring it, but I can't stand living like that and its embarrassing when people come over."  -See comment above.

"Sometimes I am too tired to cook and he will make himself a sandwich---not offer to cook for me."  -On the weekends, it shouldn't be my job alone to feed everyone.

"he never says thank you or acknowledges all that I do (yes, I acknowledge what he does)."  -Common decency.

"Sometimes it is 10pm and I am finishing up dishes and settling down to  work and he is snoozing on the couch and I want to fucking deck him because I would like to be snoozing on the couch, but I had to make dinner, clean up, do bills and then sit down to work."  -After DH gets home from work [which is when I work], everything should be fair division of labor.

And yeah, thanks for contributing nothing to this discussion.[/quote]
