[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I WOH FT. I pick my kid up at daycare, go home, bathe him, then make dinner. My husband shows up about the time dinner is getting on the table.

On the weekends, I cook dinner while my toddler is napping. What do you do while your baby naps, OP?[/quote]

When does your DH cook?

He doesn't.[/quote]

Wow - at all? Does he handle all of the cleaning or laundry then? [/quote]

NP - my DH doesn't cook at all either but he does the dinner clean-up.

Sharing the running of a household doesn't mean that both partners do some of everything.  And, yes, IMO, a SAHM should be doing most of the home management.  If you think of the DH/DW as partners who handle all the things needed for their life together, you have things like earning the money you all need, childcare, cleaning, cooking, financial management, errands, etc.  If the "earning the money" bucket of stuff falls on one person and keeps them out of the house for most of the time then it is only reasonable that much of the other buckets of stuff should be handled by the person who is home during the day.  Childcare does not take 100% of your time.  If it does, you are doing it wrong.
