[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not expect household work to be split 50/50 if one spouse is working/commuting 40-50 hours a week and one spouse is working/commuting 20 hours a week. [/quote] +1 I wouldn’t feel bad at all about how little you work, but I think you should be doing more than 50% of household and childcare stuff.[/quote] Our family has this schedule -- my husband works a typical job, I work about 3-4 hours a day. I'm the default childcare person for two elementary school kids and "household manager" (registering kids for various things, groceries, doctor, etc). We split cleaning. Seems fine. I do still have way more time to exercise and read. I think my lifestyle is great, and my husbands is tighter, but (hopefully!) there isn't resentment right now. I think being the default/flexible person for kid stuff is a huge help to the balance. [/quote]
