[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where do you find these husbands?  Not gonna lie, I'm a fairly conservative husband. My wife stays home and I work long hours (including a prior stint in big law).  Nobody would ever label me feminist.

If I'm home and awake, I'm constantly working around the house. Bedtime and shower routine with the kids always falls to me, weekend breakfast and lunch are always on me. My wife trains for half marathons and Saturday mornings are her long run day with her running group. Always get the kids out of the house for a couple hours on Saturday so she can nap.  Homework, especially math and reading, are my territory. Watching a  college football game on Saturday?  Great time to fold laundry.

I'll own the fact that I rarely wake up in the middle of the night with the kids, but that's also a function of the fact that I often get as little as four hours of sleep a night and my wife doesn't want me to wake up.

Are the chores divided evenly in my house?  No, but I do everything I can do and usually my wife and I get to enjoy a quiet hour together most nights after the kids are asleep.

OP:  most big law associates learn early on (especially if they are in corporate) that business hours are for working on what other people want them to work on and pre/after business hours are for working on what the lawyer wants to work on. Generalize the concept to your home life:  if the kids are awake, unless he's working for money, he's doing what others need him to do.

Also, tell him the early mornings are for working out. [/quote]

You seem like a great DH. Bravo![/quote]
