[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP, it's not y JOB, but surely you can have a grown up discussion with yr husband about the division of labour and what you each see as important. You like a clean house and like cleaning, and would forgo dinner to achieve that, but he may feel that having a less tidy house and dinner ready so everyone can have dinner together is more important.

There's a lot of room between your baked potato and a Diet Coke and the gourmet meals you seem to think are necessary.[/b]

I WAH, longer hours than DH does, and while it's not my job, it's easy to whip together meals on a quick break. Yesterday I made goulash in about 6 minutes on my lunch break (then it needed 4 hours to bubble while I did other stuff). Month ends, we chop stuff together on a Sunday that can be used in various meals through the weeks - baked potatoes, tacos, noodle bowls, omelettes.

[b]I think you're overthinking and over fighting this.[/b] No, it's not 1950, but the reality is, you're home and meal making is not really a huge and terrible task. The time you've spent fighting this on DCUM, you could probably have made several meals.

A valuable model for your son is working together - and another one is that life is not always equal, but equitable.
