[quote=Anonymous]Yes, but it wasn't instantaneous. When we are both home, duties are equal. I work much longer hours, so he has taken over:
- after school kids stuff. This I was firm on. I'm not paying $500 for after school care. He tried to push back about having to be home at 3:45 each day. I pretty much said make it happen, as its crazy to pay $4500 a year when he is home or should be home at that time.
- dinner three times a week. This happened slowly, over time. I didn't nag, but I did start promoting. "Hey there is a pan of seasoned chicken in the fridge. Can you put it in the oven at 350?" He eventually took more initative.
- I only wash laundry on weekends. He asked about this and then took initiative to have him and the kids (older) take over laundry on Wednesdays. When j get home I only have to put my folded laundry away.

It was difficult during the transition, as I didn't want to nag. There were conversations, but I basically said things will have to wait, and that everyone should pitch in more.

Good luck.[/quote]
