[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that other than the 40 hours a week, we do the same things. But in practice, as a SAHM I’m doing way more of the childcare and housework outside of those 40 hours than my spouse. This is true for a lot of working moms too, I know. And I’m actually fine with it/it’s what we decided when we decided I’d stay home and it makes a lot of sense (because I’m breastfeeding, etc). I’m definitely worried that even though we have talked about it, that will stay true after I go back to work - that because I stayed home in the beginning, I will stay the default parent and house person forever. I know that could have happened anyway. [/quote] That sucks for you. I'd be incredibly unhappy with a spouse who didn't pull half his weight around the house and with the children. [/quote]
