[quote=Anonymous]Just an equal partnership. Just because one person is earning more money doesn't mean the other person isn't working hard too. Are you both out of the house for the same number of hours? Then responsibilities at home should be split evenly. If you're out later, then he should take on something additional like making dinner. But otherwise, laundry and cleaning and bills etc should be pretty even. Diapers should be whoever has a free moment when the baby needs a diaper. If one gives a bath to the baby, they can hand the baby off to the other to put on pjs and read a book. If you're doing the nursing, he can take extra time to play or read or go for a walk when you're done.

There was a time that I made more money. But he worked more hours so I took on more at home because I was there more.  Now he makes the money and I'm in grad school. I work harder and more hours than he does and don't earn a penny - does that mean I should do all the cooking and cleaning?? Being the breadwinner does not mean you get to pass things off.[/quote]
