[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear you on the "helping," while great, isn't the same as managing.   A good friend once told me the first time she her new husband said "how can I help" she let him know in no uncertain, terms that ther was no "helping" in a partnership.  You don't come home to a roommate and ask how you can help them clean up the house.  You do your share of the chores.  Anyway, this story always gives me hope, or at least makes me feel better that there is no reason I have to be the only one managing, even if in reality I am.  :-)[/quote]

OP here. It's tough, because I honestly think sometimes husbands don't "see" what needs to be done the way that wives do. (Yes, I am generalizing again, I know that.) So when we discuss priorities/work loads being off balance, my husband always says in frustration, "But I do everything that you ask me to do." Sigh. THAT'S THE PROBLEM![/quote]

It's funny how they so often manage to "see" when it's necessary for their careers, yet can't "see" a damn thing at home.[/quote]
